Flight Of Ideas

Flight of ideas is one of the symptoms of a hypomanic or manic phase of bipolar disorder. It is symptomatic of an elevated mood that causes a person to have lots of new ideas, make new plans, and to feel that anything is possible. Depending on how this manifests itself it can cause many problems in a patient's life. However, many artists that suffer from bipolar disorder enjoy this mood which can impel them to periods of high creativity.
