When I had my first manic episode in my 40s, 11 years ago I was also having migraine headaches activated by florescent lights. I was put in an isolation room in the hospital with bright florescent lights. They would not turn off or dim the lights and took away the broad rimmed hat I had to protect myself from the light. I hid my eyes under a blanket in the dimmest corner of the room and then I passed out. (I think I had a seizure.) When I woke up I was in another isolation room in a psych ward.
