    A person was online continuously for over 24 hours, posting rhymes on official government websites and inviting politicians to join social networks. The person has not slept or eaten for 3 days. What features of mania are evident?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Poor judgment and hyperactivity are characteristic of mania, demonstrated by risky behavior (posting on official sites, inviting politicians) and prolonged activity without rest. B. Increased muscle tension and anxiety are more typical of anxiety disorders, not classic manic episodes. C. Vegetative signs (e.g., sleep and appetite disturbances) occur but poor grooming is more common in depression than mania. D. Cognitive deficits and paranoia may be seen in psychosis but are not the primary features described here.
