This paper describes a patient with an almost 48-hour manic-depressive cycle but with a daily shift of the switching time, the latter having itself a cycle of five days. The mood change always occurred gradually and during the day, never at night. Between manic and depressive phases there was a difference in the frequency of the EEG alpha rhythm. The patient showed a good response to lithium treatment.
