This is an interesting theory, I am just wondering about, what your theory would be in say a rather healthy individual, regarding say someone who does not repress emotions, no childhood problems, fear ext. but still exhibits symptoms of Bipolar. Otherwise mentally healthy person with healthy coping skills outside of an acute episode?

Also Confusing, at least to me, the idea that Bipolar would be repressed emotions, it seems to me to be the opposite, that people with Bipolar have a very hard time repressing emotions at all, more like a flood of emotions being released.
