Have there been any other times when you were high/irritable and had even more of the symptoms that we have just talked about?
If yes, go back to A16 and ask about that episode.
What is the meaning of high and episode in this context?
This text is regarding mood episodes/major depressive/episode/alcohol and other substance use disorders.
Here is another occurence of 'high':
Questions for clarification: How much of the time that you have had [symptoms from active and residual phases] would you say you have also been [depressed/high/irritable].

I am English. I have lived in the UK all my life.
'High' means to have a high mood as opposed to a low mood. It means to be very 'up', giddy and excitable and seem very happy.
High also means to be intoxicated by (usually illegal) drugs. I guess because drugs give the user the feeling of being 'up', giddy, excitable etc. High can also be used to describe being under the influence of drugs that do not produce 'up' effects, but still cause a change in mood (like cannabis, heroin etc.).
In your questionairre regarding mood episodes I would say that the definition of high is an 'up', giddy, excitable mood (the first definition above).
In your questionnaire an episode is a period of time. A 'depressive episode' would be a period of time when a person was experiencing depression.

This could be referring to using drugs. You are "high" when you are feeling the effects of whatever drug you have used.
If you ask about an "episode" when someone was "high", you are simply asking about when they were using drugs at that time.
If this is talking about maybe bipolar disorder where you have "high's" and lows, it would mean when you are feeling happy and having a lot of energy.
I guess it really depends on the specific thing you are talking about. English is weird that way.

High in this context usually means intoxicated (usually with drugs, but could also refer to alcohol). It would suggest that the person is in a good mood having taken the drug.
Episode just means that occasion, that time, that event.

One doesn't have to be a native speaker of english to understand that, it just takes common sense.
High means "up" or stimulated.
If used in the context of depression, then "high" means the state of "mania", being manic.
If discussed under substance abuse, then it is the state where stimulant drugs (like amphetamines) are exerting it's effect and this state may have a number of manifestation (palpitaion, hallucination, etc.)

If it's in context of depression, then "highs" are times you're feeling especially good, sometimes MORE good than you should feel (as in manic depression), and then "lows" are the times when you feel depressed, as we'd say.

Do you really think it ought to be "Native Speakers of English..." or "Native English speakers.." (discounting the fact that your capitalization is incorrect) ?
The correct answer is : Elevated emotional state. And it suits the given context.

I think it means 'manic', as in manic-depressive.
