The sun is coming out all over the US. Are you ready to prevent summer mania?
Here is a quick mania quiz you can use to check for euphoric mania.
Have you:
– Slept less but felt more energized? Jumped out of bed excited for the wonderful day ahead?
– Had the thought- “Thank god the depression is gone, I feel SO much better.” ?
– Felt like spending more?
– Drinking more?
– Do you feel more sexual than normal?
– Are you eating less than you normally do?
– Does your body feel light and buzzy?
– Do the problems that sometimes weight you down feel less important?
– Are you overly and oddly creative?
If you answer yes to any of these, you know what it means. CHECK FOR MANIA.
NO MANIA THIS YEAR has to be your motto.

PS: I am having trouble with euphoric hypomania. Yes, it feels wonderful as I am normally depressed. BUT. All mood swings are the same no matter how good they feel. Euphoric mania has to be treated and stopped just like any other less pleasant mood swing.
