Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Love vs Falling: It's a bit cynical, but some would say they might be indistinguishable. And, especially if you limit it to mild hypomania - falling in love might be the winner in an intensity competition. Really, there is something a bit crazy about how we feel at that time (i've been helpless in its' grip). A difference could be that some mbph folk could be a bit irritable, not delightful. Loving's different.
