Introduction: The manic-melancholic experience is marked by suffering, loss of freedom and constraint in their way-of-being in the world. It is common attitudes of estrangement, isolation not only the person living that experience, as the beings around him. Objectives: To find a rapprochement between mania and melancholy, considering some similarities in the experience of existential as spatiality, temporality, corporeality and tuning. Methods: We conducted a literature review about the manic-melancholic experience, based on the assumptions of the phenomenological approach: Existential. Results: We noticed in both experiments a non-split time, not a realization of future possibilities, not a relationship with things in the world and a loss of projection of embodiment in mundo.Conclusão: mania and melancholia are understood not as a disease, but as a way of being in the world where freedom of choice of being is limited.
