> Can someone please describe the difference? I think I am feeling a sort of generalized anxiety, where I feel a points during the day that I could have a panic attack. I have an almost constant "nervous stomach"...trouble sleeping, general feeling of uneasiness and dread, worry, and when I try to sleep I have had racing or pervasive thoughts. This comes on the tail end of some pretty traumatic events the past two weeks or so. My doctor thinks it's mania, but I'm not bipolar and don't think I've ever experienced mania.


I think this is some pretty bad anxiety you're dealing with, not mania. A patient with mania is usually extremely energetic, hyperactive and talkative. Mania can cause increased sex drive, little need for sleep and the patient may become grandiose. Anxiety on the other other hand usually causes nervousness, tension, excessive worrying, and difficulty sleeping. I'm no doc. but it really sounds like anxiety to me.
