Answer:

If you mean the tub spigot leaks some water when you have pulled up the tab that enables your shower, this is normal. It is simply a flap that diverts the water and it is not meant to seal tightly.
Sounds like bipolar. There are some very benign mood stabilizers that can improve your emotional health. Ask a doc for one with as few side effects as possible. W/o meds, it wont get better and it might get worse.
I had a similar question recently about how gloves have changed since the 20's and unfortunately Billboxing didn't answer it. So I will read his great answer to your question sir.
It may well be brass. More often it is chrome covered brass. The pipes are large, but not as strong as they look, so be carefull. They are probably 1 1/4 diameter, since it is a bathroom. At some point they may go into either some galvanized iron pipes or some black iron pipes. The galvanized ones rust out sometimes. Don't be surprised it you see that. Don't bang things around too much either, some pipes may be weak. There are several fittings in that piping system, each with a nut on them. See if you can isolate which one is actually leaking, if any. If you find one, you can snug it up with a pipe wrench to see if that stops the leak. Don't put a lot of pressure on it, but go a little beyond snug. That might help, but probably not. It is free, easy, and fast to try it though. There is a rubber gasket inside the fitting. You will see a rather large nut that goes around the pipe that is part of the fitting. Remove that nut and probably one or two other similar nuts in the same area. That will give you access to the rubber washer. Take the washer or the pipe to a store and get a new washer. Put the washer on, put everything back together, tighten the nuts. To not put excessive pressure on the nuts, they will warp. Also the pipes are fairly strong, but won't hold up to unlimited pressure. Snug it up and then go just a bit farther. You should have to put some pressure on the wrench, but certainly don't do pull-ups (the exercise) on them. P.S. your description is fine. You specified that it was the pipe that goes from the tub drain to the main drain. That was important information. Not sure why the first two replys didn't see that fact.
