Right now, I am of the opinion that drug-induced manias are indicators of a bipolar diathesis. I feel the same way about ultra rapid cycling, even though the patient may never experience overt mania or hypomania.

I am not sure where drug-induced manias will be placed in the new DSM V when it comes out in 2012. As early as 1986, people were already designating this presentation as BP III. However, I have seen other proposals for diagnostic subtyping.
