5. Impulsiveness

Impulsiveness in mania often occurs due to impaired judgment. Those who are unaware of the patient’s condition may dismiss it as a momentary lapse of judgment or sudden burst of goodwill, passion, or generosity. The patient may display behavior that can be dangerous or risky.

Examples include a shopping spree or gambling (without limit). This impulsive behavior lacks insight and the individual often does not realize the full consequences of their actions. There can also be inappropriate and brash behavior. It can break relationships and cause financial ruin due to unlimited spending or hurtful comments and actions directed toward their friends and family.
