b) manic episodes
c) narcissism
d) panic attacks

Answer 1

Answer:     B) Manic episodes

Explanation:  Manic episodes are heightened activity, increased energy levels that can go even upset and anxious. Self-esteem increases to the level of euphoria, the sense of well-being is increased compared to the real one, such energy stimulates talkativeness and the need for sleep is reduced. The occurrence of manic episodes in itself is not considered a disorder, but rather part or phase of so-called bipolar disorders. This condition usually lasts for one week and one of the causes may be the previous use of antidepressants, over-the-counter medications, caffeine, etc.
