Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John's behaviour of first appearing normal, then becoming depressed and followed by hyperactivity suggests he may have bipolar disorder. Mania is a state of elevated mood and hyperactivity and schizophrenia typically involves symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations and disordered thinking. Depressive disorder would not explain the periods of hyperactivity.
