“…The reported changes in the experience of the self by the subject matched Moskalewicz and Schwartzs' (2018) description of the manic self [17]. They showed how manic temporality and the manic self were intertwined.…”

A B S T R A C TIntroduction: Bipolar disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and hypomania and is often associated with functional impairment even between mood episodes. A substantial proportion of patients experience inter-episode mood swings, making bipolar disorder a complex psychiatric disorder to manage. Patients' perspectives can enhance clinical practice and research. The present study aimed to explore the impact of the bipolar disorder experience from a patient's perspective to facilitate better understanding in clinical practice and future research. Method:We conducted a single case study with a key informant living with bipolar disorder (type I) for more than 20 years. The key informant constructed a chart of his mood disorder experiences. Subsequently, he commented on the chart and these comments were noted down by his therapist. Results:We present a chart of lived experience perception by a person living with bipolar disorder. The main axis was reality perception and it was related with mood, identity, and functioning. The comments on the chart provided a detailed and accurate description of a lived experience of functioning of bipolar disorder and its impact on a person's life.Discussion: Globally, the experiences described by the key informant are consistent with previous literature.The principal finding was the meaning of the subjective experiences of reality perception, their relation with mood change, and impact on the person's life. The perception of reality seems to be a key factor in the experience of bipolar mood swings. Not only did the disorder affect the self and the functioning, but at its extreme, reality "either did not matter or did not exist." This feeling enhanced the sense of being disconnected from the world and the surroundings and led to the experience of extreme loneliness. Conclusion:The description in this study cannot be generalized, since it was conducted with only one subject. However, it provided a better insight into the detailed real-life experience that can be useful for clinicians treating persons living with bipolar disorder. Such descriptions obtained from a qualitative procedure can also be combined with quantitative data in patients' assessments and research. This study suggests that the experience of "disconnection" should be investigated further.

“…Duration perception research confers unique opportunities to theories of consciousness to test other aspects of experience besides the timing of object awareness. The rate of temporal flow is subjectively reportable and consistencies are found in optimal and suboptimal conditions such as: 1) high flow states during peak experiences (Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi, 2002, 2014 or mania (Bschor et al, 2004;Mezey & Knight, 1965;Moskalewicz & Schwartz, 2018); and 2) low flow states when bored (Zakay, 2014) or depressed (Thönes & Oberfeld, 2015). Further to this, given that Bayesian PEM is a quantitative and empirically verifiable theory, there is also opportunity to test for differences in Bayesian inference as a corollary of duration perception and conscious experience.…”

Duration perception is not the same as perception duration. Time is an object of perception in its own right and is qualitatively different to exteroceptive or interoceptive perception of concrete objects or sensations originating within the self. In reviewing evidence for and against the experienced moment, White (2017, Psychol. Bull., 143, 735–756) proposed a model of global integration of information dense envelopes of integration. This is a valuable addition to the literature because it supposes that, like Tononi’s (2004, BMC Neurosci., 5, 42) Integrated Information Theory, consciousness is an integral step above perception of objects or the self. Consciousness includes the perception of abstract contents such as time, space, and magnitude, as well as post-perceptual contents drawn from memory. The present review takes this logic a step further and sketches a potential neurobiological pathway through the salience, default mode, and central executive networks that culminates in a candidate model of how duration perception and consciousness arises. Global integration is viewed as a process of Bayesian Prediction Error Minimisation according to a model put forward by Hohwy, Paton and Palmer (2016, Phenomenol. Cogn. Sci., 15, 315–335) called ‘distrusting the present’. The proposed model also expresses global integration as an intermediate stage between perception and memory that spans an approximate one second duration, an analogue of Wittmann’s (2011, Front. Integr. Neurosci., 5, 66) experienced moment.

“…At the opposite extreme, the experience of time is accelerated in situations where cognitive processing is optimal and perceived delays are minimal (i.e., the opposite of boredom) in what is commonly called a 'flow state' (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975). Similarly, people in a manic state of hyperarousal also tend to experience time as accelerated (Bschor et al, 2004;Mezey & Knight, 1965;Moskalewicz & Schwartz, 2018). Many studies and theoretical models have demonstrated that arousal is a key accelerant of time experience (Gil & Droit-Volet, 2012), but attention to time is also a critical factor (Burle & Casini, 2001;Glicksohn, 2001).…”

Time judgement and time experience are distinct elements of time perception. It is known that time experience tends to be slow, or dilated, when depressed, but there is less certainty or clarity concerning how depression affects time judgement. Here, we use a Bayesian Prediction Error Minimisation (PEM) framework called 'distrusting the present' as an explanatory and predictive model of both aspects of time perception. An interval production task was designed to probe and modulate the relationship between time perception and depression. Results showed that hopelessness, a symptom of severe depression, was associated with the ordering of interval lengths, reduced overall error, and dilated time experience. We propose that 'distrusting the future' is accompanied by 'trusting the present', leading to the experiences of time dilation when depressed or hopeless. Evidence was also found to support a relative difference model of how hopelessness dilates, and arousal accelerates, the rate of experienced time.
