How do clients diagnosed with manic episodes differ from those diagnosed with depression in terms of their self-image?

They tend to be overly pessimistic
They exhibit extreme self-confidence
They often feel indifferent to their circumstances
They typically show signs of self-doubt

The correct answer is: They exhibit extreme self-confidence

Clients diagnosed with manic episodes often exhibit extreme self-confidence as a key feature of their condition. During a manic episode, individuals may have an inflated sense of self-esteem or grandiosity. They tend to feel invincible and believe they can achieve extraordinary feats, often without recognizing potential risks or the limitations of their circumstances. This elevated self-image can lead to impulsive behaviors and poor decision-making. In contrast, clients experiencing depression typically struggle with a negative self-image and may feel worthless or helpless. This stark difference highlights the emotional and psychological variance between manic episodes and depressive states. Understanding this distinction is crucial for social workers and mental health professionals in providing appropriate interventions and support for clients based on their specific conditions.
