Just Another Manic Moment: A Novel
When Lindsay and Jake fell in love, it was
magnetic and powerful. Jake declared that the “chemistry of love” pulled them
together, that they were split-aparts, two halves of one, lucky to have found
each other. Lindsay agreed, ecstatic that she had found her soulmate. When they
exchanged wedding vows, they meant every word. … “for better, for worse, for
richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till
death…”
Then Jake was diagnosed with clinical
depression, a major depressive disorder that stole the joy from his life.
Later, periods of rage and mania changed his personality, testing his
relationship with Lindsay. A phase of manic euphoria and frenzied spending
forced Lindsay to take drastic measures.
