The heightened energy and drastic change in a person can cause unusual <\/span>behavior<\/span> and thinking patterns. Mental health professionals often associate mania with bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mania can occur on its own or may occur with other mental health disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar, and substance abuse. This can definitely <\/span>raise<\/span> the question What is wrong with being so happy and excited? What is wrong with having so much energy?<\/span><\/p>\n
