Answers:
A classic example is when a Bi-Polar person is depressed so they go shopping to cheer themselves up. While in the store they have a manic episode and spend too much. The purchase pushes the mania even higher, and a false sense of happiness occurs because the person has 'bought happiness'. When the bills arrive and the reality of not being able to pay sets in the person ends up in an even lower state of depression. Of course, the cure for the depression is to go out and spend too much again......
