In the past few days, she suddenly has become very hyperactive, has been talking incessantly, has been easily distracted and seems to "flit from one thing to another.". She hasn't slept in 3 days. The wife went on an excessive shopping spree for new clothes that resulted in their credit card being denied for exceeding the line of credit.
