A member asked:

I've been overspending, full of energy, having ideas above my station, and decreased sleep. can a manic episode last for a few months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes it can, you should seek help. Manic episodes and bipolar disorder in general fall under the " kindling theory" principle of neurophysiology which means they get ores the more you have them and the longer the duration without treatment. Less episodes and shorter episodes mean better long term prognosis and outcome.
