10 Mania Symptoms
9. Distractibility
Patients suffering from bipolar disorder may appear to be distracted from time to time. The increased energy and racing thoughts make it difficult for patients to stay focused on one thing at a time.
It is important to notice that everyone can be distracted without being associated with any medical conditions. Stress and other situations may cause an individual to lose focus. The main difference is that, in patients with a manic episode, the problem is severe enough to disrupt their normal routine or change their usual behavior, causing problems with their family, friends, or coworkers.
