I am very good at recognizing when depression is starting and can intervene when it is just starting. It is not the same for mania. My tdoc will say, do you think you are becoming manic and I reply, sincerely, no, I'm not manic. Then when it is over I think back and KNOW I was manic. I can't seem to recognize early indications of mania like I can depression. What keys you into knowing you are becoming manic before it goes too far?
