Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mania is characterized by an elevated or irritable mood, increased energy or activity, and often a lack of insight into the consequences of one's actions, which can include not understanding the impact of one's actions on others. This distinguishes it from the other options, as it does not necessarily correlate with positive life events, is not characterized by symptoms of depression with aggressiveness, and typically includes increased physical activity, not just mental activity.
