Eli5 why is mania bad?

701 views

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.

I had a friend that was bipolar. She would binge coke and alcohol when she was manic, never sleep and spend all her money. She finally landed in rehab and got therapy and meds. Doing much better now.
