[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 128448, member: 2423"] According to my son's psychiatrist, one of the hallmark symptoms of mania is a decreased need for sleep. That means the person can get very little sleep and still function as if he doesn't need sleep the next day. Other hallmark symptoms include grandiosity, flight of ideas and increase in goal-directed behavior. Mania is not in and of itself diagnostic of bipolar disorder. Mania can accompany other disorders as well. Here's a link to an excellent article on juvenile mania: [url]http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=176079[/url] [/QUOTE]
