Rоbert, 48-yeаr-оld mаle, hаs been brоught to the ER by his girlfriend of several years. She states that he has been sleeping about two hours a night. He seems agitated and extremely energetic, pacing around the room and talking loudly and persistently about his plans. The girlfriend states that she has begun his process of remodeling her house. "Bob tore out the shower in the second bathroom and then decided he would redo the kitchen cabinets. He bought all kinds of supplies at the home store and has them stored in our garage. He has several other projects he has planned, and it was all I could do to keep him from tearing out the bathroom in the master bedroom. Before I could stop him, he tore out all the baseboards in the living room and guest bedroom. He has a huge bill going at the supply store and now is talking about a vacation in New Zealand. I do not know what is going on. He has had these weird overly energetic periods before, but most of the time they lasted a couple of days. This has gone on for two weeks. I am exhausted and cannot understand why he is not exhausted." You diagnose Robert with what?
