SYMPTOMS OF A MANIC EPISODE

WHEN YOU'RE MANIC... You feel high as a kite... like you're "on top of the world". You get unreal ideas about the great things you can do... things that you really can't do. Thoughts go racing through your head; you jump from one subject to another, and you talk a lot. You're a non-stop party, constantly running around. You do too many wild or risky things: with driving, with spending money, with sex, etc. You're so "up" that you don't need much sleep. You're rebellious or irritable and can't get along at home or school, or with your friends
