Research into the relationship between mania, sensation seeking, and substance abuse has shown that hypomanics and sensation seekers use substances frequently and often for the purpose of adjusting their moods. This essay develops an "economic" theory of addiction that attempts to account for those phenomena. The theory also supports the notion that sensation-seeking behavior and variants of manic behavior share many of the characteristics of the addictive behaviors. Implications for the treatment of addictive behaviors are discussed. Data from drug users in the military (Navy) are presented to support the theory, and suggestions for future research are outlined.
对躁狂症、寻求刺激和药物滥用之间关系的研究表明，轻躁狂者和寻求刺激者频繁使用药物，且常常是为了调节情绪。本文提出了一种成瘾的“经济学”理论，试图解释这些现象。该理论还支持这样一种观点，即寻求刺激行为和躁狂行为的变体具有许多成瘾行为的特征。文中讨论了对成瘾行为治疗的启示。展示了来自军队（海军）吸毒者的数据以支持该理论，并概述了对未来研究的建议。
