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). During a manic episode, a person may feel overly confident, engage in risky behaviors, and have racing thoughts.
Symptoms of mania can include decreased need for sleep, rapid speech, and impulsive decision-making. While some may find the heightened energy enjoyable, it can lead to negative consequences, such as strained relationships or financial problems. Treatment often involves medication and therapy to help manage symptoms.
