Has any of you seen "Experimenter: the Stanley Milgram Story"?
It's basically about how people feel uneasy about the results of experiments that show how many of us are pretty much the same in ways we don't want to admit—not because some outside force makes us similar, but through ways that are reflected in our choices.
It also shows why social science experiments matter and how authority, including that of psychiatrists, can cloud our judgement and wants to soothe us, hindering understanding and self-improvement.
Apart from all that, what it portrays, it's also just a very good film.

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.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
