10 Symptoms of Manic Depression
Symptom #8: Mania
It’s good to be happy, but it is important that we don’t allow our good mood to cloud our judgement too much. Most of us are able to stay within reason when we are in a good mood. We might feel more generous or more forgiving toward people, and more likely to laugh, but it is all usually well within reason.
One of the symptoms of manic depression, however, is a sense of happiness that is beyond normal levels. This mania can lead to terrible decision making that can be damaging to the person with the condition and those around them. Somebody with manic depression will also find that their moods can swing drastically so when there’s mania, severe depression is usually not far away.
