A member asked:
Can bipolar manic episodes be natural or medication induced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: You could be predisposed to it, and then have it brought out by use of certain medications. Otherwise, I am not aware of any medication directly causing it. However, use of recreational drugs could lead to symptoms similar to bipolar manic episodes. Theoretically it is reversible, but long term use may cause permanent damage.
