Cyclothymia, creativity and ethical
Experts of St Anne, Olie, Elonari, Spadone, Lépine recalled in an article in the Brain in September 2002 that the use of antidepressants in France seems one of the highest in Western countries. Increasing consumption is increasing year after year .... This sad record
puzzling and deserves reflection.
- It seems obvious that the proportion of dysthymic and cyclothymic temperaments is higher in France than in the USA for example. I refer you to the work of Jamison and Gartner hyperthymic and immigration in the world.
- It also seems that the French social model based on rigid double tradition of the monarchy (the caste system as described in the Logic of Iribarne of Honor) and the bloody Jacobins (Girondins "Anglo-Saxon" executed) leaves little tolerance, flexibility, dialogue and creativity.
- Unlike companies say third world or underdeveloped, French society remains relatively impervious to community life. The elderly are left alone in the summer heatwave and the public authorities are obliged to launch communication campaigns to attract the attention of "citizens" to isolated seniors. In Paris, one in two marriages ends in divorce. As rightly pointed out the journalist Eric Zemmour Sex in the First, the current era is now the scene of a battle of the sexes with the needs of a neo-liberal triumph coupled with a sterile undermining militant feminism the foundations of social harmony.
- The post-modern capitalism (a far cry from that of a regulated social-ethical and sustainable democracy: http://www.iledefrance.fr/lactualite/emploi/economie/le-guide-de-leconomie-solidaire- in-ile-de-France, is published /) dries out the feelings of individuals and makes them even more selfish and individualistic than ever.
dystopian In this context, it is not surprising that the frailer individuals are having difficulty adjusting fees and withdrew the medicine to overcome the lack of humanity and love.
It is clear that the balance and development of the individual is a mysterious mixture of the innate and the environment, but the latter as an area homeostatic (Goodness of fit) plays a crucial role and that bonding, friendship, love make man kind and sociable and that any withdrawal and in particular in a very modern virtuality through the Internet will do nothing to fix things.
Charles Ringma As noted in his book on Jacques Ellul ("Resistance" published by Footprint),
the first duty of the individual is to watch over the other.
Care Individual and collective concern:
If instead of the few (institutions), that was the number who practiced hospitality and carers, many of our institutions are no longer required
extend this philosophy to the whole society and we will probably decrease the consumption of anti-depressants.

Consumption of antidepressants: the French disease
I have this morning attended a conference International organized by the University of Paris V and Todd Lubart on the education of gifted children (http://www.icieconference.net/programe.php). The topic of my speech was, and artistic creativity Cyclothymia
in gifted adolescents: Evaluation and potential channelization.
I briefly recalled what I wrote in my book on this subject: - Creativity is an interaction between the individual, the domain (music, science, literature ...) and " field "(experts, professionals, public criticism).
- Creativity is a healthy defense (a concept Storr) against depression, anxiety or hostility
- Every intelligence allows creative sui generis (Gardner's concept of MI) and therefore the Wechsler tests are incomplete or outdated, especially in the arts. The Classic IQ must therefore be reexamined.
- Cyclothymia, from temperament to disorder, allows development of unusual creative ability of course if the symptoms are controlled and that the area is controlled (10 years of practice in general).
- Regarding the "capacity building" creative potential of children, I offer a free in the schedules (daydreaming and favor the elimination of anxiety), never losing sight of the sense of flow (flow), one highlighting the building of character and ego with the collateral damage, if any, must be borne by parents and teachers, resilience slowly and gradually taught the ability to feed intellectually and by experience during the child's "psychological moratorium" often related to the phase of dysthymic or cyclothymic bipolar child without educators seek to alter the temporary withdrawal of the child.
I actually few theories based on my reading the work of specialists who have studied creativity in the infancy of the most creative individuals of the twentieth century and XIX. Perseverance and resilience of these figures were of course outstanding but some gifted children (not all) naturally possess the resilience and strength of the ego (hypomania + dysthymia).
Think personalities and not to resume: Instead of formatting the minds of individuals out of the ordinary, why not encourage them to think for themselves, and develop their own coping strategies. Psychoanalysts have understood this and psychiatrists will realize one day ....
Finally, creativity is revealed little by little, and naturally in the individual "suffering" and that his defense is the most complex and most beneficial for him and his entourage.
The issue is not to educate or Spartan unusual for gifted children and cyclothymic but to marry their rhythms and desire to learn instead of imposing rigid methods and a consistent view of society as made public educational system in general.

Intervention on creativity artistic and cyclothymia in Paris
Continuation and end of the excerpts given masterpiece of French pioneer of cyclothymia, including Peter Kahn thesis was published a century ago! Not only Peter Kahn (Gaston and his master Deny) had recovered and enriched the work of Hecker and Kahlbaum but also brought the concept of "cyclothymic constitution" if fair and consistent with the modern concept "akiskalien" temperaments.
The existence of this work also demonstrates involution of French medicine from the 20s in the field of bipolarity and its spectrum as well as French doctors and Falret Baillarger were the discoverers of the "double madness shape and circular "in 1854. Then we saw the disappearance of the term and its rediscovery in France by Dr. Elie Hantouche almost a century later ...
The concept of incorporation or cyclothymic personality are far more eloquent than bipolarity in my opinion. Especially as the mixed state is so often present in cyclothymia (Read what Kahn described in the following excerpts!). It's actually a tripolarity: Dysthymia or depression, and hyperthymic mixed state.
The Cyclothymia is a depression and a hyperthymic whose fragility and strength lie in the paradoxical nature and disabling. As we said before: there is no free intervals but extreme sensitivity almost always sickly and hyperreactivity. Cyclothymic each differs from each other because the mixing of fluids in contact with an environment is kept clean at all.
Letter from a patient to Dr. Gaston Deny:
" Since I'm here, should I be considered a patient who still has his reason or patient who does more?.
"But is it the fault of my own will, or rather, as you said yourself, Mr. Doctor, my constitution?
"Myself, if I had the choice, I would have chosen a more quiet nature and less sensitive, and now maybe I would struggle not between madness and reason (...) ".
"Nobody here, except you, Sir, I do believe ill, much less those outside, even my husband (...)".
"For me it's terrible anguish of a brain that feels sink. Under these conditions, how to live among my people, while I myself need a guide and consolation? ".
Evolution:
As we have seen, cyclothymia has therefore modifications of the circular Mood:
a) depression, expansion, depression, expansion.
b) depression, mixed state, depression, mixed state.
c) expansion, mixed state, expansion, mixed state, etc., etc. ...
"Intervals Free does not seem to exist in cyclothymia and mood swings never cease (...). These are waves breaking in turn, undulating surface of disturbed mood (...). We realize that the cyclical nevertheless exists but that the large waves that appear from place to place, are losing sight of the much smaller waves that separate them.
"The Cyclothymic but is undecided whether it using words or guidance, it will come to that - only him was impossible. "
Case of a patient who" told with dignity as if she was going every two months for it to Charenton rest in the truth and not because she was mad. "
" There is a clear predominance of cyclothymia in women (Twenty women, five men).
"Cyclothymia, in the manifestations of the intellectual sphere n not offer the same clinical appearance as it grows from a weak or otherwise in a man of great intelligence "(...)" In the period of excitement, intelligence and even exalted may happen to contain the genius ".
" We can not write about Schumann everything we want, and we refer to well-known life of this genius Cyclothymic to the very interesting communication ... "
" Musset, we have seen, was also a manic dipsomaniac both great and gifted natures (...) In this way, the imbalance of mood far from hampering the inspiration seem almost to promote soaring.

I end on the excerpts of the thesis:
"In commerce, industry, business, the cyclothymic is bold, both leading to several companies. In cons is often inconsistent, making several projects without any finish. (...). The ruling is amended by the unflappable optimism of these patients, who are also inconsistent, wasteful ...(...) In depression there was a lack of inadequate attention by Pulse. In the excitement there are too many elements that seek attention in a given time, and it can not fix. There lack of intensity. "Letter from a patient to Dr. Gaston Deny:
