    That is one way that mania can manifest, but there are many ways bipolar folks experience mania, some of which are considerably darker. Even the most euphoric mania should be corralled because it will turn to anger and irritability as the episode takes its inevitable turn to depression.

      It’s not inevitable to go to depression. I can tell you this first hand. Anger is however a severe side effect of some anti-psychotic drugs they often use to help manic patients sleep.

      It can also be quite destructive, for example financially.
