Everything he mentioned IS mania....I know because I was just in the psych hospital for 9 days for the same symptoms, except I also had distraction, sensitivity to noise and fast talking. Also, when at the hospital their were some patients jumping up/down, screaming, yelling.....I yelled at them days in a row to shut the "F" up and sit the "F" down...

So much so that it changed my diagnosis from Bipolar II to Bipolar I, yes I had hypomania first...all the classic "good" symptoms, but then it took a turn for the worse and I didn't recognize myself...
