He has suicidal thoughts, has lost 30 pounds, indicates that he is not sleeping much at night, and has no interest in sex or any other pleasurable activity. When asked if he has ever had a period of extreme elation, extreme activity, and extreme acting out behavior, he says no. However, he does indicate, “I have had several periods of high productivity. During those times, I didn’t sleep much, accomplished a lot, and felt really good, almost high. But I never had any problems during those periods. My wife commented that I was kinda irritable, but nothing else was a problem.” He has never gone to the hospital during these periods of productivity and he and his wife indicate that none have been longer than 4 days. What diagnosis is probable for Kevin?
