>Tensor so does that mean that mania is over stimulation of dopamine? If so why do they use wellbutrin a lot for mania bipolar?

I'm not suffering from psychosis so I have little knowledge about APs. But the D2 receptor is often targeted to reduce dopamine in certain areas of the brain. This is highly hypothetic and Scott and other knowledgable people could answer this much better.
