Hello,

Unfortunatey being a new poster I cannot submit links yet. The best explanation refers to Virginia Wolf and her manic depressive illness along with the work of Melanie Klein. It is on page 1 if you Google that. It just seems to reinforce a view I have had after a lifetime of living with my condition about what put me in those heavenly blissful states regardless of diagnosis.

This view is also shared by the likes of primal therapy etc. I suppose when you have lived with something that long you want explanations as to what is happening. There is also the genes vs environment argument also I guess which comes into play with others having differing genetic predisposition to BP but I do find the analysis interesting.
