Eli5 why is mania bad?

I understand that this is considered a mental health disorder and I’m sure there is a reason why but Mayo Clinic says that mania is characterized by an extremely elevated and excitable mood. It sounds to me like I would enjoy being elevated and excited. Now I totally can see why depression would suck in the case of bipolar especially oscillating between the two, but unipolar mania is a thing too.

Mania isn’t just “feel goodhappy” either… When I’m in a manic state frustration leads to rage really fast… I don’t mean “anger” I mean full blown rage in just the blink of an eye.
