  • This case study presents a man hospitalized for acute mania which is in the process of resolution. This psychiatric interview serves as a good example of many of the symptoms of mania in bipolar disorder such as grandiosity, tangential speech, and flight of ideas. The patient is quickly changing topics and digressing to random unrelated subjects.

    This reminds me of myself during episodes. Rapid speech and going off in all different directions, unable to answer basic questions without derailing the conversation. Very happy - perhaps too happy. It feels great when it's going but the crashes are inevitable and painful.

      ​@@sunnyrock4404 When I crash, I start to realize and remember how I behaved during mania. I am usually reserved, so it's pretty obvious when I'm talking too fast, talking more than normal, oversharing, or even laughing inappropriately. It can be embarrassing knowing that my co workers and even boss saw me in such an unnaturally high state. It made me want to just quit my job after the last episode honestly.
      Recovering from exhaustion is difficult. My last episode I was awake for 7 days straight, unable to sleep more than 2 hours a night. When I got my meds adjusted I slept for like 16 hours the first night, but it took a week or two to overcome lingering fatigue. So, lots of sleep is normal and welcome during a crash. It's a key component to recovery.
      The most debilitating aspect of my crashes is depression. It makes me feel stuck, as if I have a weight on my chest that I can't get off. It's as if I am glued to my bed and I can't stop crying. The sadness feels like the deepest sorrow a person could imagine. Almost like grief. It is hard to lack perspective in that state of mind and I have experienced suicidal ideation (no plan, no intent).
      Sometimes in the immediate aftermath, the emotions just need to come out and the best our loved ones can do is just be there. Even if you have no idea what to do or how to help. Your seeking a better understanding of bipolar is an incredible contribution to your daughter-in-law's support system.
      I'll sum it up with, avoid her being isolated and encourage her to seek professional help if she has not already. :)

He’s had trades in professional fields and is full of information and while trying to share this information about those trades and tie it into his everyday life he’s being diagnosed as having acute mania.

    Manic depression is fairly common among writers and artists too. A lot of them have outbursts of free expression just like this - but at a price - often suicidal.
    He is very congenial though - Although he must have exhibited extremes of behavior that made his family concerned for his welfare.
    If he can manage to cope with with his more blacker periods, his symptoms might desist with time.

      He is avoiding the question about why he’s there. He doesn’t understand why he is there because he’s in such a “good mood”. This is the symptom of euphoria and grandeur. He doesn’t believe anything is wrong but he isn’t sleeping or not getting restful sleep. His words are sort of slurred. Normally people don’t smile that much, especially when talking about depression and being “nervous” (anxiety). He admitted to having depression and being nervous. He has been there a couple days probably and they’ve also probably medicated him. I have this so I would recognize something is off with this man.

    Maniaco-dépressive est l'ancien mot pour parler de bipolarité. Le souci est qu'il existe 3 types de bipolarité qu'à l'époque nous ne savions pas. Type 1 ( accès maniaque ) type 2 ( accès dépression) type 3 psychotique. On peut être bipolaire ( comme moi ) et paraître et être même tout a fait normale. Ça me fait mal au cœur de voir qu'en 1970 la psychologie concernant les bipolaires étaient au balbutiements...

    3. The doctor actually seems stiff, rigid, and trying to use his power.
    4. Psychiatry is mostly about power, and that brings in money.
    In the late 40's and early 50's Psychiatry was looking to find drugs that would keep patients coming in for years, to harvest more and more money and business. They invented many drugs in France and Germany that were hooking people. Psychiatry never looked back, for the repeat client/ business was set in motion. The doctors stopped caring and analyzing, and began counting their fortunes.

    I have unipolar depression and anxiety, not BAR. But I have managed to medicaly induce maniacalish states by Modafinil for roughtly 1 year. And is much better than depression. I suspect normal is better but I do not know since my problems started just before puberty and so many years have gone, but I have never reached full remission.
    Whatever it was with my maniacalish state was away from satisfactory, but still was probably my beast year(2021) since the beggining(let say 2006) of the illness. Or maybe the first 3 years were better, whatever. Surely mania is much better than a depression.

      It appears that an unbalanced, excessive amount of glutamine/glutamate in the brain can cause this type of state and reduce capacity for sleeping. I've recently been learning more about it, after I experienced an overdose of benzodiazepine at the hands of an unprofessional doctor many years ago as a child. I have the opposite problem, meaning the excessive benzodiazepine reinforced the GABA receptors to become dormant. I can feel really sleepy throughout the day as a chronic feature, a bit depressed due to the lack of balance. I will start taking glutamine in an effort to balance those chronic aspects of it. And in doing research on it I learned that those who have excessive glutamine/glutamate in their system will experience mania, hallucinations, schizophrenia, seizures, etc. Really interesting stuff!

      He is not empty or boring! He's a person going through a bipolar manic episode! He's not rational and cannot stop his train of thoughts. It sounds as if you have no experience of the condition at all!
