Bipolar 1 Disorder’s Manic Phase
Bipolar disease affects millions of families in this country and around the world. In fact, it’s considered to be the sixth leading cause of disability in the world, and it is a condition which is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression.
In addition, many bipolar 1 disorder episodes are characterized by elated mood, over-talkative or heightened talking speed, hyperactivity and agitation. The disease has both a manic phase and a depression phase. Each can last for days, weeks, or even months.
When in the manic phase, the person can experience signs such as having very little need of sleep, an increased amount of energy, wild extroverted behavior, an inability to concentrate or focus, a diminished sense of self control – in other words, he will not be able to sit still and his mind will be constantly active.
