WHAT DOES MANIACAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mania

Mania is the mood of an abnormally elevated arousal energy level. Elevated irritability is common along with behavior that seems on the surface to be the opposite of depression. Mania is a necessary symptom for certain psychiatric diagnoses. The word derives from the Greek μανία, "madness, frenzy" and that from the verb μαίνομαι, "to be mad, to rage, to be furious". In addition to mood disorders, persons may exhibit manic behavior increased by drug intoxication, medication side effects, and malignancy. But mania is most often associated with bipolar disorder, where episodes of mania may alternate with episodes of major depression. Gelder, Mayou, and Geddes suggest that it is vital that mania be predicted in the early stages because otherwise the patient becomes reluctant to comply with the treatment. The criteria for bipolar disorder do not include depressive episodes, and the presence of mania in the absence of depressive episodes is sufficient for a diagnosis. Regardless, those who never experience depression also experience cyclical changes in mood. These cycles are often affected by changes in sleep cycle, diurnal rhythms, and environmental stressors.
