I know that certain songs can trigger depression, but have you personally found that some songs trigger mania/hypomania for you? I think a certain song does trigger hypomania for me, because every time I play it I can't stop moving. Like, literally. I feel like dancing, and cleaning, and cooking, and working...but I wouldn't be able to concentrate long enough on either task to complete it.

Yes- rave music type, or just generally songs with a good beat. I do need to be in a neutral mood to start though. When I then go hypomanic, I drive like an idiot, play my music 5 times louder and feel great!

Quite a few, now that I think about it, though they wouldn't work if I was in a depression.

Music hasn't triggered an episode for me, but I find I like different types of music depending on my mood. It's another one of my signs that I look for to determine if I'm not well.

Yep, just like Suga, I also have to be hypomanic to start with. Then it takes simple little things to send me into ecstasy and wild behaviour. My last manic episode (a month ago) I played Boston's "More than a feeling" in my car and instantly felt every instrument and nuance in the music. I was in rapture about the phenomenal coherence of the different parts of the music, how one instrument built up slowly to a logical level when the next would come in with a broad sweeping roar and push up the endorphins to new heights.
My response was to put my foot flat on the accelerator and feel the rush of speed as the scenery flew past me in a blur. I was highly excited for hours after that. Yes, the music is driving rock, and not a slow ballad or gentle classical.

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend for me, particularly Hyperdrive.
But like others, only if the mood has already started flying. |

For me, just pumped up. But triggered, per se? No.*
Feeding what's already there? Oh VERY much!!! (*Just like I explained in Tsunamisurfer's 'Triggering by motion' thread, I don't consider it triggering actual hypomania because it doesn't last or progress. Sorry to repeat myself, lol! ![]() |

Sean Paul's "get busy" song does indeed make me a bit manic....there are very strange instrumentals and an irregular beat to it. Probably there are also quite a few more songs which have that effect.....but would you feel then that you should avoid music that you really like, because of that? For me, the answer's no.

The Fourth Movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is the only piece of music that can put me into full-blown mania. The degree of severity depends on the volume, the sound quality of the recording, and the quality of the stereo components. The duration of the mania after the music ends varies. I have long said that if I could only hear one piece of music for the rest of my life, the Ninth Symphony would be it, but I have not played the Fourth Movement for several years. I'm afraid it would be like an alcoholic trying to have "just one drink."

As a few have mentioned, I'm not sure music really "triggers" ( I hate that term) hypomania or mania but it sure fuels the fires sometimes. This is especially true with punk rock...which is manic music to begin with. I could post many examples of manic songs, but YouTube The Exploited's "Chaos Is My Life" sometime. While you're supposed to listen to calming music when the manic business starts, I just can't resist punk when the flames up in my brain.

Good beat works for me. I already have to be heading there. The way I can tell is not being able to finish listening to the song or sometimes listening to two songs at the same time to not waste time doing it one at a time lol.
