Example text

25 By the end of the eighteenth century, manic depression had clearly emerged. In 1795 essayist Charles Lamb experienced an episode of mania and was hospitalized for six weeks. During this episode he had grandiose delusions that he later described to his former schoolmate and close friend, Samuel Taylor Coleridge: “But mad I was—and many a vagary my imagination played with me, enough to make a volume if all told. . For while it lasted I had many many hours of pure happiness. Dream not, Coleridge, of having tasted all the grandeur and wildness of Fancy, till you have gone mad.

37 In the more advanced stages of mania, the person’s repertoire of activity often becomes remarkable. 38 Certain kinds of activity are especially common during manic episodes. Buying sprees may bankrupt the person and his or her family. We know of one individual, a physician, whose mania became obvious when he purchased three new automobiles in one day. ”39 And Patty Duke saw a dune buggy she liked, so she bought it, even though it had a stick shift that prevented her from driving it. She recalled: I don’t know why I bought it.
