Bi-polar Mania


Self-Test

  • Do you have a decreased need for sleep?
  • Do you have more energy than usual?
  • Is your thinking speeded up?
  • Do you feel unusually euphoric or "high"?
  • Is it difficult to stop talking?
  • Do you have difficulty keeping your mind on one thing? - jump from task to task?
  • Do you have a heightened interest in sex?
  • Are you irritable and short-tempered?
  • Do you have a close blood relative who has had a serious emotional illness or alcohol abuse?
  • Do you think about dying or killing yourself?

    •  

    If you answered yes to 5 or more of these questions, and you have felt this way every day for several weeks, there is a good chance you are suffering from mania or manic-depression and should see a psychiatrist or other health care professional.
