Is this a manic or hypomanic episode? Brian had begun to ruminate about his health. “At first it was his blood pressure,” Rachel said. “he’d ask me to take it several times a day. I still work part-time as a nurse. Several times he thought he was having a stroke. Then yesterday he became convinced that his heart was going to stop. He’d get up, feel his pulse, pace around the room, lie down, put his feet above his head, do everything he could to ‘keep it going.’ That’s when I decided to bring him here.”
