Do you ever feel (or now consider) that we might be just a hibernating animal subspecies of humans?
Mania being our money/freedom caching activity before we inexplicably and unconditionally start our hibernation. Since we are unaware we are actually hibernating animals, we feel great guilt and just want to (or feel like we have to) get on with it. We feel hibernation is coming, so we rush into overactivity, aided by nature to give us that extreme caching ability (which others don't understand or accept, so we fail). Just a side note: hibernation can happen during summer.

Do you equate hibernation with low grade depression?

 If it weren't for the destructive parts of mania, I'd agree with you. However, the hypersexuality and overspending really cause me to pause and say... uh.... maybe a subspecies, but not in a good way!

Nah. Animals that hibernate or estivate (the summer version) are consistent in time of year and general length of state. Also, the phenomenon (with those inextricably linked features) is universal within a given species. We don't really have that.
(  Personally, I WISH I could estivate(!) I hate hot weather!)

Innerzone, it's just an analogy. Evolution is messy. Call it what you want. Maybe only those with regular yearly patterns will survive, who knows?

 Whatever it's called, I'd opt for a guilt-free version.

As long as you don't eat (much; only healthy stuff you bought earlier) and certainly nothing containing lots of sugar, during hibernation. Innerzone, sorry to disappoint: measures had to be taken, you said so yourself.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
