‘Heightened excitement’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

Heightened excitement refers to an intense state of enthusiasm and energy that exceeds normal levels. Key characteristics include:

1. **Increased Arousal**: Physiological signs such as a faster heartbeat, rapid breathing, and heightened alertness.

2. **Euphoria**: A feeling of intense happiness or exhilaration, often without an obvious cause.

3. **Restlessness**: Difficulty staying still or maintaining focus, accompanied by a constant urge to move or engage in activities.

4. **Rapid Speech**: Talking quickly, often jumping from topic to topic, and sometimes interrupting others.

5. **Impulsivity**: Making hasty decisions or engaging in risky behaviors without considering the consequences.

6. **Enhanced Sociability**: Seeking out social interactions more actively and displaying increased friendliness and charisma.

While heightened excitement can occur in positive contexts like celebrations or achieving goals, if it’s excessive or prolonged, it might indicate a mood disorder such as mania or hypomania. Monitoring its impact on daily functioning is crucial for determining if intervention is needed.
