Question

Janice is in the middle of a distinct period of an abnormally and persistently elevated mood. In the last week she has cleaned her house from top to bottom (breaking windows and dishes in the process), bought a new car that she can’t afford, and dug up most of her yard in case she might want a garden next year. Janice is experiencing ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mania

Explanation:

Mania is one of the phases of bipolar disorder characterized by a state of intense euphoria, with increased energy, agitation, restlessness, mania of grandeur, less need for sleep, and may even cause aggression, delusions and hallucinations. People infected with this disease exhibit strange behavior with abnormal and derogatory attitudes.

The symptoms associated with mania are similar to what Janice is showing. Janice probably has the disease, but only a professional diagnosis can prove it.
