Signs and symptoms of mania (or a manic episode) include:

Increased energy, activity, and restlessness

Excessively “high,” overly good, euphoric mood Heard her laugh lately?

Extreme irritability Throwing ash trays and lamps

Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another

Distractibility, can’t concentrate well

Little sleep needed

Unrealistic beliefs in one’s abilities and powers National health care anyone?

Poor judgment ehem!

Spending sprees Perfect for a politician

A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual

Increased sexual drive

Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications

Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior This fits

Denial that anything is wrong as does this

A manic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with three or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for 1 week or longer. If the mood is irritable, four additional symptoms must be present

Cheap shot is what quoting the DSM is. \\

We won’t win by cheap shots and rumor mongering and speculation. The facts on the Hillary Clinton so called career are enough.

This kind of crappy stuff makes us look stupid and mean and desperate.

Hillary Clinton is what she is and that is enough to beat her on.

Yes, there's a good chance that HRC indeed suffers from manic-depressive illness, based on the (limited) information we have about her.

Now it's up to the voting public to decide whether that - even by itself - should disqualify her for the presidency. If there's enough sanity remaining out there, the answer should be a resounding NO to her candidacy.
