What is a characteristic feature of manic episodes? a. Lack of interest in daily activities b. Social withdrawal c. Decreased energy d. Impulsivity and risky behaviors

The correct answer is d. Impulsivity and risky behaviors.Manic episodes are a type of mood episode that is characterized by an abnormally elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, as well as increased activity or energy levels. Impulsivity and risky behaviors are common features of manic episodes. Individuals may engage in impulsive and risky behaviors such as spending sprees, sexual indiscretions, or substance abuse. They may also have a decreased need for sleep and may feel euphoric or overly optimistic. The other options, such as lack of interest in daily activities, social withdrawal, and decreased energy, are more commonly associated with depressive episodes rather than manic episodes.
