I have seasonal recurrent depressions and have experienced unanticipated mood episodes before. Mania is mania. If you are experiencing it then that indicates a bipolar disorder of *some* form. Technically, if you only have manic symptoms when exposed to an antidepressant then it doesn't count, but that is controversial.
