Simultaneously more than required spending of money, excessive talking, grandiose ideas(having feeling of super rich or having super power though nothing there in reality), reduced need of sleep, increased appetite, excessive involvement in activities those are not acceptable in society.
All of above should be present for at least 7 days or so severe that it required admission in hospital to prevent harm himself/herself or others.
