Other movies about manic depression?
Anyone knows?
Try Jessica Lange in Frances(1982), then the Tommy Lee Jones starrer - Fobb(1994) and finally Kirk Douglas in Lust For Life(1956)..i hope this answers your question.

I think you mean Cobb not Fobb
Check out Six Feet Unders! It's a a tv show, but Jeremy Sisto is one of the main characters (kinda) and he plays a bipolar character. He is great and does a very realistic and touching portrayal as a bipolar person with some psychotic touches.

I can't remember if it's manic-depressive behavior or bi-polar but Kevin Kline in "Sophie's Choice".
It is easier to critique than create
Kevin Kline plays a paranoid schizophrenic in Sophie's Choice.
Michael Clayton is very good on manic depression and how it effects the people around them.
