Specializes in Psychiatry

Many symptoms: Symptoms of a mania include loss of sleep for over 3 days with increased and excessive energy. Often there are racing thoughts, pressured speech and difficulties explaining yourself due to too many thoughts. Other symptoms include grandiose thoughts (like beliefs of having special powers or strength), a tendency to engage in dangerous and risk-taking behaviors, and at times hallucinations.
