> Do you believe that mania can be triggered in a pre-disposed person, simply by a change in environment or circumstance? Or do you believe it to be a random assault on ones brain chemistry?
Can you describe exactly what you experience when you are traveling? What were your sleep habits?
There is a phenomenon called "kindling" that is sometimes used to explain mania. If you find traveling particularly stimulating, you might become more and more excited and kindle a mania or hypomania. The more kindled episodes that are allowed to occur, the easier it is to trigger them. Of course, I don't know if this is happening to you.
