And I believe it is good to try to cleave the negative connotation from a mere phenomenon, to understand the why and so be more compassionate about any form of seeking attention when someone is suffering.
It can still be used to describe attention seeking without real suffering just to be the centre of attention, which however might still be indicative of a problem needing attention, but it shouldn't be regarded as part of the definition.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
