Everyone has a manic/depressive cycle like in bipolar disorder (theirs is just more severe). You can manipulate it by messing with your sleep-- lack of sleep is one of the biggest triggers of a manic episode.

The mania triggered by this story should have been just as concerning as the depression.

I do this too but to scrape the bottom of the barrel on philosophy problems. It's basically like doing drugs.
