Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are characteristic of a manic episode, which is a defining feature of bipolar disorder. OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is characterized by obsessions and compulsions, not grandiose self-esteem, rapid speech, or an elevated mood. Stress is a general term for a range of emotional and physiological responses to challenging or adverse circumstances, and catatonia is a state of unusual motor activity or unresponsiveness sometimes seen in psychiatric disorders, which is different from the symptoms described above.
