Forwarded from Symptoms

Self-help books and therapies promote the ideas of self-esteem, heightened self-confidence and well-being. Nothing is impossible, they tell us, we must follow our dreams. And if the cardinal symptom of mania was once defined as the compulsive quest to connect with other human beings, today this is almost an obligation: if you're not on Facebook or Twitter, there must be something wrong with you. What were once the clinical signs of manic-depressive psychosis have now become the goals of therapies and lifestyle coaching.
