 Science News: Flip side of 'winter depression.'
"Winter depression" does indeed show another face in the spring and summer, responds psychiatrist Norman E. Rosenthal in the same issue, but the seasonal swings can often be diagnosed as a type of manic depression.
While such persons generally slow down, experience depressed feelings, oversleep and overeat in the fall and winter, they become agitated, impulsive and violent and even suffer short bouts of psychosis in the spring and summer.
Although the patients' behavior mimics a form of manic depression, say Mueller and Davies, their symptoms, which also include migraine headaches and minor neurological problems, encompass a separate disorder.

 Maprotiline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maprotiline causes a strong initial sedation (first 2 to 3 weeks of therapy) and is therefore indicated to treat agitated patients ot those with suicidal risks.
Withdrawal symptoms frequently seen when treatment with Maprotiline is stopped abruptly (agitation, anxiety, insomnia, sometimes activation of mania or rebound depression) are not indicative of addiction and can be avoided by reducing the daily dose of Maprotiline gradually by approximately 25% each week.
N.B. The use of Maprotiline in the treatment of Enuresia in pediatric patients has so far not been systemetically explored and its use can therefore not be recommended.
