Manic episodes are a cluster of symptoms.......I've been manic for roughly 3 weeks now..... agigtation can be 1 symptome which surprised me......they always made manic seem so.....glamourous...LOL.........my favorite part is little or no impluse control....not sleeping....and eating constantly....where ever you are is exactly where you don't want to be.......but the really big fun is the psychomotor agitation....can't be still, pacing...definitely MY favorite ( wink)
