enthusiasm
n. 1. (psychiatry) the manic side of a severe and dangerous bipolar (manic-depressive)
disorder. Treating this condition is often complicated by the patient’s failure to manifest the depressive side of the condition. In such a
case, the psychiatrist must take matters into his own hands, bringing the
patient under his benevolent control and treating him with powerful
mind-altering drugs as soon as possible. Otherwise the depressive
side may never be flushed into the light, leaving the poor patient
with the delusion that he is happy.
