The Daily Novel

They seem like two different people. Not as different as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. That comes under the psychological category of split personality, which has quite different symtoms. Not schizophrenc, which is again quite different from manic depression or split personality (although frequently Jekyll and Hyde types are referred to in everyday language as schizophrenics).

Nevertheless the contrast between the person when in manic flow and the person when depressed is huge. Which is one reason why manic depressives are not the easiest types to live with. It is not only a contrast between gloom and elation. It is a contrast between intense intropection and a love of fun and partying.

Enough said I think. One of my shortest blogs ever.
