Mental illness suicide cases

The diagnosis of mania is made on the basis of clinical history plus a mental state examination. Key features of mania include elevated, expansive or irritable mood accompanied by hyperactivity, pressure of speech, flight of ideas, grandiosity, hyposomnia and distractibility. Such episodes may alternate with severe depression, hence the term "bipolar illness", which is clinically similar to that seen in patients with "unipolar depression". In such cases, the mood can range from sadness to profound melancholia with feelings of guilt, anxiety, apprehension and suicidal ideation accompanied by anhedonia (lack of interest in work, food, sex, etc.). [Pg.193]
