Mania {ma' -ne-ah) \jiavia, jiaiveoOai, to rage]. A form 

 of insanity marked by great exaggeration of nervous 

 action. It may occur suddenly, or follow an attack 

 of melancholia. The patient presents an infinite variety 

 of moods, is the subject of hallucinations and illu- 

 sions, often shows a tendency to destroy what he 

 comes in contact with, and is untidy ; there is a marked 

 change in character, and decided insomnia. There 

 is rapid and progressive emaciation. The brain is 

 found to be in a hyperemic condition, and the disease 

 is probably due to a loss of the inhibitory action of 

 the highest controlling centers of the brain. Mania is 

 most common in young adult life. Heredity is a 

 strong predisposing cause, while mental strain, be- 

 reavements, shocks, and alcoholism may act as excit- 

 ing causes. The great majority of the cases recover.
