"Specific Symptoms of a Manic Episode In order for a manic episode to be diagnosed, three (3) or more of the following symptoms must be present:
-Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity -Decreased need for sleep (e.g., one feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep) -More talkative than usual or pressure to keep talking -Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing -Attention is easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant items -Increase in goal-directed activity (either socially, at work or school; or sexually) or psychomotor agitation -Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences (e.g., engaging in unrestrained buying sprees, sexual indiscretions, or foolish business investments) -Inflated self-esteem is typically present, ranging from uncritical self-confidence to marked grandiosity, and may reach delusional proportions. Individuals may give advice on matters about which they have no special knowledge (e.g., how to run the United Nations). Despite lack of any particular experience or talent, the individual may embark on writing a novel or composing a symphony or seek publicity for some impractical invention. Grandiose delusions are common (e.g., having a special relationship to God or to some public figure from the political, religious, or entertainment world)."
