Evolution teaches us that distress (sadness, pain) can be adaptive while joy and elation (hypomania) can be maladaptive. Context is important in determining the functional/adaptive status of negative or positive emotions @Derektracy1 @RealAdamHunt @henrypoconnell @gurjotbrarmd

@lennycornwall @WesselyS @joannamoncrieff @RCPsychEPSIG Yes, there is an important evolutionary angle to this discussion related to the nature of depression and what implications that may have on how it’s treated.

@RealAdamHunt Yes. This puzzle can ONLY be resolved through an evolutionary framework. All other approaches are merely descriptive and not truly explanatory.

@RealAdamHunt My Sexual Competition Hypothesis for anorexia and bulimia nervosa is a good example of an evolutionary hypothesis that clarifies the functional system that malfunctions as a result of mismatch
