So...my pdoc said I was manic for the last month or more. While I agree that I started out that way, just several days into the episode, I adopted major agitation and anxiety which I would have thought was a mixed episode (especially because I became suicidal--then dangerously suicidal--so quickly), not a manic episode. Has anyone ever had a manic episode start out as a pure high and turn into pure hell? Is that what they call dysphoric mania? Or is it a mixed episode? I just wanted some thoughts on this. Thank you!
