Absolutely anyone can have a manic episode. Give the right (wrong) variables it can happen to anyone.
I have had one (of what doctors consider) a manic episode. I think it was more of a mild drug / stress induced psychotic break which well would have subsided on its own. The doctors increased my antidepressant, which was the wrong thing to do as I can never sleep on SSRI's. I was under severe stress too at school. The stress and drugs just lead to a breakdown. Never before, never since, especially off drugs. The point being that I endured years of lithium for no reason at all.
I'm off everything now. No mania, some depression. But a hell of a lot more like me than I was on lithium AP's etc. Its no way to live a life.
