No, that's not what mania looks like for most people, Ginger. It just means everything in your head is on, constantly, running faster than it should be. Manifests different ways. Some people can't sleep, some people get obsessed with doing things, or start a hundred different projects, but can't find the concentration to actually finish them. Some people get irritable, or start feeling like they're top of the world, even when they aren't. It's got nothing to do with villains or laughing.

And that's good. We can talk any time you need to. Doesn't matter the time. Never worry you're waking me up or bothering me, okay? I'm going to request the Admin to put you on lithium - 3 pills, morning, afternoon, and evening. The other one we'll have you on is Haloperidol. Same schedule to make it easy. Once you have the medicine, let me know. I can work with you to set reminders to take them. Or, if you've got traveling companions you trust, you can ask them to remind you. It might be a little hard to keep track of at first because of the condition you're in now.

The medicine might take a little bit to kick in, but you should start feeling better, more level, more like y'self, after a few days. There are some potential side-effects, but we're going to start you off on lose doses to try to make sure those don't happen. Let me know if anything strange starts happening when you start on those meds, okay? We can adjust if we need to.
