A 25-year-old woman presents to the psychiatrist with her exasperated husband. He reports that her mood swings are too much to bear. He states that last week, she did not sleep at all, staying awake at night cleaning, dancing, and watching television. Her husband also reports that she went on a $5000 shopping spree, which exceeded what their budget allows. He states that she had a similar episode six months ago. What is this patient's most likely diagnosis?
A. Bipolar I disorder
B. Bipolar II disorder
C. Cyclothymic disorder
D. Dysthymic disorder

the answer is A
BIPOLAR 1 MOOD DISORDER -MANIC EPISODE
OVER 90% OF BIPOLAR DISORDER PATIENTS HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EPISODE
MANIC EPISODES PROGRESS OVER DAYS, AND 20 % OF PATIENTS WILL HAVE PSICHOTIC SYMPTOMS ( HALLUTINATIONS AND DELUSIONS). wOMEN ARE FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY THAN MEN T BE RAPID CYCLES TO HAVE FOUR OR MORE MANIAC AND DEPRESSIVE CYCLES PER YEAR
