A psychological thriller dealing with the dual persona a young man possesses and attempts to conceal throughout his ongoing sessions with his therapist.

SYNOPSIS:

Recent graduate Dr. Steve Livingston, a new arrival into a prominent Chicago psychotherapist firm, has undertaken a new patient named Tommy, who has a troubled past. The new doctor is determined to understand and evaluate his unpredictable and violent behavior. But throughout his examination, the doctor is experiencing problems of his own at home. Although recently engaged to his beautiful fiancée, Lydia, Steve still has sexual tendencies towards women who appear unexpectedly in his life. Meanwhile, his patient Tommy's condition is getting worse—much more so than the doctor realizes. And a dangerous game is about to begin.

A distinctive feature in this film is the racial tension between the doctor (an African American) and his patient (a Caucasian). And how their controversial relationship develops and affects one another, both inside and outside of therapy.

Finally, predating a current national health debate, Dual Mania will hopefully shed light on any number of exceedingly questionable practices in the field of psychiatry, which emphasizes drug treatment as a final solution to mental disorders.
