Rose's extreme shifts in mood and behavior, including episodes of euphoria and depression, suggest a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Hypomania is a milder form of mania and does not include delusions, so it is not the best choice. ADHD is characterized by persistent symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that are present before the age of 12 and are not likely to manifest as euphoria or delusions. Persistent depressive disorder is characterized by persistent depressive symptoms for at least two years, which is not consistent with Rose's current presentation of euphoria.
