Can you identify differences between your experience of love when you are healthy or manic? For individuals with bipolar disorder this knowledge may be elusive and change with different stages of life.
Some people believe when a person is in a manic state, he/ she is also more likely to feel in love!
What is your opinion?
Dear Dr. Almekhlafi,
Usually lust and love are thought that are the same. But you know love is a strong feeling without any reason. It is more joyful than lust and can be continued for all of the life . But I think love is a feeling like anger, fear and etc. Life without love is a painting without paint.
It is apart from wisdom and may be imagine as mania!
Expression of love is taboo in some societies and can be considered a kind of madness or mania!
Who can identify differences between his/ her experience of love when healthy and when manic?!
Imo, there is total shut down of the logical brain in manic "love", while a healthy person should be able to exercise some amount of logic in the most dire situations.
Risky behaviour is definitely demonstrated in mania and the 'speed' with which a relationship (if one could use that term) progresses is extremely rapid. Could range from hours to days, depending upon the degree of psychosis.
