Manic, I think the symptoms overlap. The negative symptoms of schitzophrenia (I think w/schitzophrenia these are generally seen in addition to the positive delusion-type symptoms) can include:
problems with motivation
social withdrawal
flat feeling (anhedonia)
diminished affective responsiveness, speech, and movement
trouble making or keeping friends
irritability
insomnia
trouble w/concentration
etc.
Sounds like depression. Problem is these symptoms are not helped (and can be made worse) by increasing Serotonin, which seems to be the focus for most anti-depressant treatments.
I think it just goes to show we really don't know how the brain works.
Frustrating, but it might help (ever so slightly) to see people actually working on it.
