I experienced religiosity during a bipolar psychotic manic episode 32 years ago. It was not pleasant. There wasn't a hint of euphoria. I had endless amounts of energy to create an endless amount of frightening delusions and overt psychosis that required physical restraints to subdue.
1. "Manic Dysphoria"
3. "Dysphoric Mania"
2. "Mixed States"
These terms have been in use since at least the mid-1980s. Neither of them describe a state of euphoria.
The religiosity that I experienced was dependent on delusional / psychotic thinking. The religiosity that I experienced was frightening. Have you ever tried to provoke the Devil into chasing your car down the interstate so that you could lure him away from attacking your girlfriend?
I have never been hospitalized for depression. My only hospitalizations were the result of mania, not depression.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
