Mania

Mania or euphoria is the opposite of depression, in which the person experiences an elevated mood and has a great deal of energy to carry out their tasks. They may also engage in dangerous and risky behaviors.

Characteristics of manic individuals

1. One characteristic of manic individuals is that they tend to want to do everything in the best possible way. Since human energy is limited, this is not feasible, and as a result, the person cannot complete most of their tasks, which leads to frustration and depression.
   For example: If a person with mania is assigned 20 cases to summarize, they spend most of their time thinking about how to do the work at the highest possible level, and when they realize time is running out, they do the tasks hastily, writing only a few lines for each case just to submit them.
   This means they have failed to achieve the goal they set for themselves and have wasted time.
2. Due to lack of focus, these individuals often display confusion, dizziness, and disorganization in their performance.
3. Manic individuals constantly define new goals and abandon old ones, frequently changing their opinions, which makes them unreliable in relationships, friendships, and collaborations.
4. These people are greedy because they think they can handle many tasks at once and achieve multiple goals simultaneously, unaware that they will fail because limited human energy does not allow it.
5. Their mental chaos in defining goals is like someone looking out of a train window; the speed of the train causes the view to be blurry. The rapid changing of goals in the minds of manic individuals is like the fast movement of a train.
6. Thoughts in their minds constantly compete with each other to be realized sooner, resulting in energy depletion.
7. Manic individuals generalize one problem to their entire life. For example, if they have a car accident, they relate it to bad luck and fate.
8. Failure to reach their goals causes stress and anxiety, which in turn leads to obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

The main difference between a manic person and a perfectionist is that a perfectionist sets a goal in a specific area and pursues it to the end in one direction, while a manic person constantly jumps from one branch to another.
Manic individuals can have higher education and high intelligence.
This disorder is treatable through medication and psychotherapy.
