A member asked:
What exactly does it mean if a person has bipolar and they are manic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An exhausting "ride": Generally, people dealing with bipolar disorder cycle through biologically driven periods of clinical depression and mania. When going through a manic episode they typically have endless energy-may be up for days, engage in reckless behavior (wild shopping sprees, drug/alcohol binges, risky sex, etc.) , poor judgment, and their mood swings from irritable/angry to elated/euphoric.
