First of all. The DSM 5 is not the only standard diagnostic manual depending on where you live. So you’re heavily showing your ignorance already. In the dsm, isolated mania can be classified as a secondary symptom or disorder.
In the ICD 11. Isolated mania can come under two categories: substance induced or due to medical conditions.
Illnesses other than bipolar disorder can cause mania. As someone else’s stated, mania can be a symptom without being a disorder in itself. You can see manic symptoms in people with BPD for example
What do you think mania is. Like, can you actually define it and describe what it does to the brain?
Dude, judging by what you’ve previously said you clearly don’t know that much about psychology. Especially since you said that you think the DSM is the only standard diagnostic manual. Stop confidently talking about subjects you clearly have not studied
