If any of you ever wanted to know what it's like to be bipolar, then watch this.
The first part is hypomania personified, well, perfectly. The second part shows foulest depression of the worst sort.
If we think of both conditions being tied closely to serotonin levels in the brain, then you can see that lots of serotonin = euphoria and not enough = depression.
The clip shows the effects of Ecstasy on "average" humans and granted this has some degree of romanticized gloss being that it's been pulled from a movie. Don't take this as anything scientific but do enjoy the brilliant witticisms. Oscar Wilde is a much better narrative companion than any random pedagogical stranger.
