Take, for example, Anders Breivik: he killed a lot of people in Norway, likely a sociopath, but also schizophrenic. His affect could, and was, though maybe not using those very words, described as very flat, but actually it has an extreme intensity.

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.
