"dysphoric mania" stage.

Is this a mixed or a manic state? I'd say manic, but I'm not really sure. If mixed, how is it different from a typical quickly-alternating mixed state?

Another one would be a "race condition" mixed state, like a dog chasing its tail subconsciously. Pseudo-stable with more or less anxiety. Not the worst: bit slower alternations are worse, probably, but less preoccupying the mind. The slower, the worse the anxiety up to a point (when there is more awareness of one's mood state).

Edit:
Then there is agitated depression. Much like dysphoric mania, but severe depression, would you agree? Both can be outwardly directed or undirected. Anger or anxiety. Irritability as intermediate. Not like a mixed state. Hypersensitivity, not hypervigilance.
