GUARDIAN — Feb 6 — Once taken seriously by mental health experts,
love stopped being studied by psychologists and doctors in the 18th

likes of Freud,' Tallis said. People who are 'lovesick'
exhibit a wide variety of symptoms, including mania, depression and
obsessive compulsive disorder, which should be treated like any other
psychological condition. Evolutionary theorists hold that
'lovesickness' lasts only long enough for two people to produce one or
two children, after which it dies or turns to friendship, what
psychologists call 'companionate love'. FULL ARTICLE @ THE GUARDIAN UK

Sounds interesting… I never thought that there is such study as this one.
