Did Freud ever say anything about manic depression?

Answer 1

It seems Freud never liked much parafrenics (the today's psychotics) and so I feel he wouldn't like psychosis manic depressive. I believe he suffer from a bipolar disorder, undoubtedly, but I'd keep in a good stand. I would see no prejudice over it at all, as in fact is the case for someone not born in the 19th century Vienne suffering from this disorder. What I learned from this is that it is partly true, (as insisted with him about parafrenics Jung) and partly an invention. But the disorder is enlistened in every psychiatrist's manual, so we should care for the power of their white coats.

Answer 2

Freud felt he had manic depression himself. He felt the only treatment for manic depression was hypnotherapy. In his clinical research Freud became convinced first of the sexual and then of the infantile origins of this neuroses. He decided manic depression was caused by an early childhood trauma and the sexual feelings you have for your mother.

Answer 3

Yeah he blamed the changes in moods as being based on a conflict over your sexual feelings for your mother.
