    Manic symptoms can stem from adapting to life threats, not solely bipolar disorder. Brief cognitive-behavioral therapy effectively resolved these symptoms without medication, leading to lasting recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Manic or hypomanic symptoms are not exclusively indicative of bipolar disorder (formerly manic-depressive illness).
    • Differential diagnosis is crucial for accurate treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • A case study is presented involving a patient exhibiting manic symptoms.
    • These symptoms were interpreted as a maladaptive coping mechanism for existential threat, rather than bipolar disorder.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
    • Significant and rapid symptom improvement was observed without the need for pharmacotherapy.
    • The patient remained symptom-free post-treatment.

    Implications:

    • Cognitive-behavioral interventions may offer effective treatment for manic symptoms when they are not indicative of bipolar disorder.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering psychological and existential factors in the presentation of manic symptoms.
    • Non-pharmacological approaches can be successful in managing certain presentations of manic symptoms.
