Abstract: Deals with the adult life of a civil engineer, diagnosed with manic-depression in 1968 at the age of 34 years. The paper covers the effect on his career, the breakdown of his marriage and hospitalization as an involuntary patient, which marked a very low point in his life, but by no means the end. Now, aged 69 years and still on medication, he has moved into calmer waters and is enjoying a full and happy life in new and unexpected ways.
