Introduction to mania Mania is a form of seizure of manic depression. It is a typical symptom of high emotions, thinking and running, and increased speech movements. Emotional hyperactivity or irritability is the main clinical phase, accompanied by vigorous energy, increased speech, increased activity, and severe symptoms accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and nervous symptoms. Manic episodes last for more than a week, usually in a paroxysmal course. After each episode, they enter a period of normal remission of mental state. Most patients have a recurrent tendency. In the long-term observation of the course of mood disorders, it is very rare to have only manic or savage madness, and the family history, pre-existing personality, biological characteristics, treatment principles and prognosis of these patients are both bipolar with depressive episodes. The obstacles are similar. Therefore, the International Classification System for Mental Illness (ICD-10) and the American Classification System (DSM-IV) have classified it as a type of bipolar disorder. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05%-0.08% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: mental illness

Mania cause

Genetic and mental factors (15%):

The family survey found that the incidence of bipolar disorder in the first-degree relatives of the proband of the bipolar type I disorder was several times higher than that of the first-degree relatives of the normal person, and the closer the blood relationship, the higher the prevalence. In molecular genetics, many scholars have explored the possible markers associated with bipolar disorder, but there is no definitive and reproducible results. The susceptibility genes for bipolar disorder need further study. At present, the genetic pattern of bipolar disorder tends to be polygenic. The onset of manic depressive psychosis may be related to mental stimuli, but can only be considered as a predisposing factor.

Physical factors (5%):

The main characteristics of the circular personality are good communication, cheerful, wide-ranging interest, active, easy to be optimistic, and more likely to become more worried, mesodermal leaf type bones, muscular, connective tissue enriched patients, than the outer blast People who are slender and delicate are more likely to suffer from illness.

Biological factors (5%):

1 Neurobiochemistry, psychopharmacological studies and neurotransmitter metabolism studies have confirmed that patients have abnormalities in central neurotransmitter metabolism and corresponding receptor function changes. Lack of serotonin (5-HT) functional activity may be the basis of bipolar disorder and a sign of susceptibility to bipolar disorder; a decrease in noradrenaline (NE) functional activity may be associated with depressive episodes, norepinephrine function Increased activity may be associated with manic episodes; dopamine (DA) functional abnormalities; gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a central nervous system inhibitory neurotransmitter, may have abnormal functional activity due to resistance to this neurotransmitter Epilepsy can be used as a mood stabilizer to effectively treat mania and bipolar disorder.

2 The second messenger balance is imbalanced, and the second messenger is an indispensable intermediary between extracellular information and intracellular effects.

3 neuroendocrine dysfunction, mainly dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

Mania prevention

Generally, there is a history of genetic disease, introverted personality, solitude, sensitivity, poor environmental adaptability, and people who have been stimulated by mental stimulation are prone to mania. For these causes, there are some targeted methods to control or prevent mania. The citizens of hereditary history must always have a sense of prevention, be alert to the onset of illness, treat in time, cultivate cheerful, open-minded, and accommodated personality from an early age, absolutely prevent the occurrence of mania, and strive to create a good interpersonal environment for themselves. The problem is dialectical. "Every black cloud is inlaid with Phnom Penh." Things always have a beautiful side.

Mania complications Complications

If the manic disorder is not treated, it is easy to recurrent, and long-term recurrent attacks lead to chronic disease, personality changes and social function impairment. Due to the pre-existing personality and disease symptoms, the incidence of alcohol dependence, substance abuse, and drug dependence is high.

Toxic psychosis often With varying degrees of disturbance of consciousness.

For paralytic dementia, senile psychosis can be manic, but there are often mental disorders, emotions are not high, but euphoria-based, detailed medical history, physical and neurological examinations help identify.
