He was in a state of mania with the following symptoms for the last 10 days; being more talkative, pressure to keep talking, fight of ideas, restlessness. In addition, he complained of amnesia, imbalance, urinary incontinence that started concurrent with symptoms for the last 3 months.The patient was diagnosed with bipolar disorder manic episode according to DSM-5 . It was deemed appropriate for the patient to be hospitalized. Blood tests were normal. MRI result was consistent with NPH.
