Abstract
Objectives
The objective of this article is to review, through the presentation of a case report, the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of delirious mania.
Case report
We present a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with bipolar I disorder who was admitted to psychiatry ward for presenting an abrupt episode consisting of irritability, restlessness, expansiveness, behavioral disturbances and incoherent speech. During admission, the patient was observed to have a global worsening consisting of deterioration in attention, orientation and memory, confusion, fluctuation of the symptoms and alterations in psychomotor skills.
Results
Delirious mania presents abruptly with manifest, psychotic and confusional symptoms, and can be complicated by catatoniform symptoms. Organic causes of the condition should be ruled out as well as a performing a differential diagnosis with other neuropsychiatric syndromes. First-line treatment consists of benzodiazepines and ECT.
Conclusions
Recognizing delirious mania is relevant to establish early treatment and avoid derived complications, morbidity and mortality.

Es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española de Psiquiatría Biológica. Los recientes avances en el conocimiento de la bioquímica y de la fisiología cerebrales y el progreso en general en el campo de las neurociencias han abierto el camino al desarrollo de la psiquiatría biológica, fundada sobre bases anatomofisiológicas, más sólidas y científicas que la psiquiatría tradicional.
