Abstract
Delirious mania is a severe but often underrecognized syndrome characterized by rapid onset of delirium, mania, and psychosis,not associated with a prior toxicity, physical illness, or mental disorder. We discuss the case of a delirious mania potentiallytriggered and maintained by a systemic hypotension induced by antihypertensive drugs. Symptoms recovered completely afterthe discontinuation of antihypertensive medications and the normalization of blood pressure levels
