	'''Mania''' is a state of abnormally elevated arousal, affect, and energy level, or "a state of heightened overall activation with enhanced affective expression together with lability of affect." Although mania is often conceived as a "mirror image" to [[depression]], the heightened mood can be either euphoric or irritable, and indeed, as the mania progresses, irritability can become more prominent and result in violence or anxiety.
