Abstract

Objective: Many with a bipolar disorder embark on a quest, most commonly during elevated mood states, and sometimes driven by a prescient delusion. This essay draws a parallel with a prominent literary plot - the Quest.

Method: Reference to the literary plot is made and an exemplar provided, being based on the personal stories of several patients.

Results: Parallels between the literary model and the current vignette are emphasized.

Conclusion: Manic prescience can sometimes be more than a delusion. The Quest is both a literary plot and at times may underlie manic behaviours and even illustrate its symbolic value.
