Mania relapse signs to monitor include which of the following?

• A. Improved sleep and calm.
• B. Euphoria only.
• C. Insomnia and irritability.
• D. Weight gain only.

Answer: (C)

Mania relapse is best flagged by changes in sleep and mood regulation. Insomnia signals that the sleep–wake cycle is destabilizing, a common early sign as mania begins to emerge. Pair that with irritability, which reflects heightened mood reactivity and increased arousal, and you have a practical warning combination that often precedes a full manic episode. Together, they provide a clearer picture of relapse risk than any single symptom alone.

If sleep improves and calm returns, that points toward stability rather than relapse. Euphoria by itself isn’t enough to indicate relapse, since mania involves a broader cluster of symptoms beyond just feeling extremely happy. Weight gain alone isn’t a reliable early relapse sign and can arise from many other factors.
