Interesting. I think hypo/mania in times before birth control and accepted sex outside of marriage would lead to a lot of men married to bipolar women thinking they had more children than they actually did, haha.

I think psychosis probably looked pretty similar. I'd imagine that paranoia probably had a more religious bent, rather than being about the FBI or the police.

It would probably be hard to go days on end without sleep if you live in a one-room cabin with your entire family in your bed, but maybe bipolar people waited for everyone to sleep and then got up and walked around outside?
