Homonym: Mania (Frenzy)
Mania is a mental health condition characterized by an elevated mood, increased energy, and heightened activity levels. It is often associated with bipolar disorder, where individuals may experience extreme highs (mania) followed by lows (depression). Symptoms can include racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, and decreased need for sleep.
During a manic episode, a person may feel overly confident and engage in risky activities, such as spending sprees or reckless driving. Treatment typically involves medications like mood stabilizers and therapy to help manage symptoms and maintain emotional balance.
