I'm just a random person passing through, but this sections seems a bit, well, useless. It's unprofessional (all lower-case, no explanation. Even something as simple as "these are words that share an identical root meaning" would be good. I've never seen such things on other pages. I just think it doesn't really belong. --24.16.223.145 01:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Non-bipolar
Note: We need examples of non-bipolar causes of mania in this article.
I don't know if this is a country thing but in Canada the term mixed states is used not dysphoric mania. If you use some of the references in the article they say this. Could it be added in? I find it easier to understand and i know that is how its refered to in Canada (by Doctors as well).
If you are looking for a non-bipolar cause of mania you can find a similar effect (i'm not sure if its officially mania) sometimes in people that do too many stimulant drugs (amphetamines used not as prescribed, cocaine etc.) From what i know if this is the problem the person usually returns to normal once they have had sufficient time to recover from the effects of what they have taken. Also there is currently debate on how to classify mania that is induced by psychiatric drugs. Most anti-depressants have a tendency to induce mania in 1-5% of the people that take them. In some cases its decided they are bipolar but other doctors argue against this. I'm sensitive this way but actually it would always look like some normal prescription was causing the problem. I was taking Paxil which uses a common enzyme chain to get out of the body (and too much paxil induced hypomania in me). If i was given another prescription that used the same enzyme chain i would experience hypomania although it took a while to figure out what the problem was (i eventually caught the likely problem by looking through the pharmacists guide and comming across the reference to the enzyme chain. When i brought it to the attention of my doctor she switched me to another anti-depressant and the interaction problem mostly went away.--Marcie 19:29, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Elevated
What does elevated mean? Hyacinth 02:15, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Not depressed or down, not normal, but in the other direction towards euphoric, but euphoric is the wrong word when you consider the symptoms, thus they use "elevated". Jok2000 02:43, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No, I couldn't see the pros calling it dysphoric. See if you can find a case description in a text book for a manic episode. This article seems to be a pretty good summary of the dozen or so I have read. Jok2000 04:29, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Separate Hypomania?
Maybe we should separate hypomania. To imply that hypomaniacs are just mild maniacs may be somewhat taxonomically accurate, but it doesn't show that most hypomaniacs don't experience any visible level of these symptoms. They don't just beat their spouses less often; but are just people with an elevated mood for long periods of time with no side effects that the untrained professional can't see.
And there's a good article in today's NYTimes.
~ ~ People with mania beat their spouses? That is not only untrue, but it is a hurtful stigma.
--- oh yeah, that's right, that's what people with personality disorders do, and should be denied clinical significance and treatment.
risky liaisons?
While reading this article I saw this phrase which I can't understand. Perhaps it's just my english beeing bad, but could there be a link to what it refers to? The Liaison page seems to be unrelated...? This is in the Symptoms section.
Grandiosity
What does "grandiosity" mean?
Additional reading section
What's the point of the "Additional reading" section? I think it should be deleted unless some book titles are added. Spandrawn 11:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Mnemonics
Come on with these fucking mnemonics. If you need one of these to know what "mania" means, you shouldn't be learning about it in the first place. If a doctor ever explained to me what mania was by using a mnemonic, I'd punch him in the face. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.88.4 (talk)

removed .. 'ed harrison luvs mainy calvert'Herbal Supplements section
I tagged this section over a month ago as being completely unreferenced, and it remains without any references whatsoever. Unless citations are found to support the material in this section, I plan to remove it in three days. Ashdog137 (talk) 10:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
conniption redirect - why?
I don't understand why conniption redirects to this page. It doesn't have anything to do with mania as an illness.
The only reference connecting conniption with mania as an illness is identical text from http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/conniption http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/conniption and http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/conniption all owned by Farlex, Inc. The reference for that sentence that it gives is http://www.thefreelibrary.com/What+government+can+do+to+you%3a+our+government+has+steadily%2c+and+...-a0149023245 a viewpoint essay referenced as from July 24, 2006 The New American referring to one specific incident ( http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+New+American/2006/July/24-p515 ) .
That isn't more than an anecdotal reference and does not imply that people suffering from mania are more or less likely to have conniption fits in general or that they have any psychological or medical connection. Everywhere else that I looked for a connection between conniption and mania wasn't in the medical/psychiatric sense of mania. Looking for conniption and conniption fit, is much more related to hissy fit or tantrum.
I encourage that this redirection be removed and replaced with a redirect of conniption and conniption fit to tantrum.

Is it that hard to find an expert?
The section at the top of the page indicates that the article is in need of an expert, and that it has been that way since November of 2008. I find this hard to believe: Aren't most people that read this article either A) All-knowing or B) Know someone who is? ;-)
Form of clinical psychosis??
Mania is a mood disorder, not psychosis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.100.178.129 (talk) 16:
