In reply to what's the purpose of hypo-/ mania?, posted by llurpsienoodle on December 17, 2008, at 7:46:12
Maybe it serves as a balance to a severe depressive episode - the inevitable swing in the opposite direction. Something like the law of physics going on in our brains.
And maybe it serves as the true source of man's supposed superiority over lesser beings on the planet. Do other animals ever exhibit behaviors consistent with hypo-/mania? Where else do the really great ideas of the world come from except from those who are at least slightly "touched"?
