Manic
A mental disorder characterized by changes in mood. Manic individuals are extremely restless. Symptoms can also include excessive self-confidence, compulsive talking, reduced need for sleep, and impulsiveness. Mania most commonly manifests as part of bipolar disorder, in which manic and depressive phases alternate. This clinical picture is associated with an imbalance of various neurotransmitters in the brain. Accordingly, psychiatrists often treat mania with neuroleptics, which are designed to weaken the effect of neurotransmitters.
