[...] Existe cierta evidencia de que la manía eufórica es sólo un subtipo de manía, y no precisamente el más frecuente. Por el contrario, la mayoría de episodios maníacos parecen dominados más por la desorganización, la irritabilidad, la expansibilidad, la reducción de horas de sueño y la hiperactividad que por la alegría y la jocosidad. 3, record 3, Spanish, - trastorno%20bipolar
