I got diagnosed in rehab after being a daily drinker for about 4 years. It was a relief to finally have an answer to my excessive mood swings & why I kept self medicating. Been sober 6 months 🎉 I’m on medication specifically for bipolar & work with CBT. It’s been some of the toughest months of my 20s trying to find meds that work, a good routine, & therapy- but I’m trying
I'm bipolar and it sucks. The end of last year and beginning of this year I was manic and spent myself into oblivion. Now I'm in the depressive swing trying to clean up the mess I made. Hopefully I learned my lesson.
Do you sleep less during a manic episode also? I sleep like 4hrs if I'm lucky but I still feel tired and demotivated throughout the day despite feeling stimulated mentally.
please try hard not to think that you did anything wrong! you only make bad decisions and bad actions because you have bipolar. i feel so sad for you. life with bipolar is not fair. we begin to change our personalities and don’t know it! i hope you have the strength to go on and overcome the horrible feelings and thoughts of killing yourself!! manicmakes you physically sick, but depression is the worst. at least i think tnhat.
Hello Alkohallick, i hope that the cleaning up is already done. Meaning that you fixed it and everything is already better. in the 3 months ago. Else that it will be as soon as possible for You. and i wish You Good Happiness, Good Health,Good Luck and Good Prosperity and for those that are around you or close to You; Learning is also very important and also in that part i wish You the Best.
i have Bipolar , anxiety and ADHD mixed with sleep apnea . basically i live in a cloud of nothingness and thoughtlessness until meds , now im feeling great , but something is still off .
Just know that there are people who won't judge you for it and will do their best to supportive and will at least try and educate themselves more about the condition.
My husband is bipolar. Imagine mania like this. You have all the energy and motivation in the world but instead of cleaning up and organizing your space, you scatter everything everywhere and spend all your time deciding where you want a single pencil to go. I am really not trying to be funny for anyone thinking that, my husband is a property manager and has to deal with rent from 68 different tenants. If there’s an issue with anything, the more anxious he gets, the more random piles of money he makes until it’s a total mess. I support him through those moments the best I can and help organize it with him, usually ends up okay but I really feel for him because it’s not something he can really control. He’s done really well over the years with accepting help when it gets too much and I couldn’t be prouder really. He’s terrified of the depression side so he always steers to mania if he can. I don’t blame him there. I know depression and can’t imagine how tough bipolar depression can be, I imagine it’s worse than what I had. Being overwhelmed is one thing, being so down that you couldn’t care less about even getting out of bed is scarier to me. You could literally let your whole life just fall apart.
How can I get my husband to care about my mental health,recognize it's not me just wanting to be distant from him,I feel we're so far apart bc I keep my distance not even living a life bc I'm trapped inside my mind.
You are a true trophy wife ❤ not many people could navigate thru this kind of relationship with such kindness & wisdom. He is very fortunate to have you in his life
@@marknewton6984 yes because I was really closed to her. Almost like family, but I noticed a change in moods ,and how I felt she was forcing herself into keeping a certain mood I dunno hard to explain. I didn't understand. Until one day she told she was bipolar.
I got diagnosed with bipolar 18 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting bipolar. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
Thank you for this, I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and on meds for I think a year now, and before I was diagnosed with bipolar, I was diagnosed with depression (still am) but this really helped. I didn't really exactly know what it was, I knew about mania and depressive episodes, but I never really GOT it.
My mother had bipolar. But also schizophrenic (persecutary delusions) and a narcissist. In a maniac episode. It was like dealing with a rabbit dog. One wrong move or word and she was over you. Beating you in a pulp.
@Teufer2, sounds exactly like my mother, very physically abusive and today, now that I'm older, verbally abusive. So I just no longer have anything to do with her.
I feel you. I also have a relative with both and they’re a f nightmare. Suck the soul and joy out of me. But bc they’re family I feel that obligation that I have to feel sorry for their suffering while putting mine under the rug. It’s a nightmare. Hell. Living hell.
Who else likes the highs? 😁 because everything is funny and nothing bothers you, but you also get scared because you know the depression is going to happen at some point soon..😔
The last time I went into full manic was nearly 3 years ago I ran out of zyprexa & forgot to get more it was completely out of my system I was awake for almost 5 days without sleep but felt better once my meds kicked back in haven't had an episode since
@@laurabattle638 damn that's not good how are you managing this at the the moment I went through hell the last time I was in manic including spending lots of money on cds
I remember telling my Dr if I was manic all the time, I'd probably be a lot more successful in live. My depressive episodes are just so low. I won't leave my house for days, quit my jobs, and completely dissociate with video games for months. I'll get mini manic episodes before it shoots back up to full mania. Mania makes me make better art and a desire to share it. Depression makes me destroy my art. I'm in a constant cycle of building my self up just to destroy it. It's so tiring and I'm scared one day I'm just gonna end it. I don't want to die, I just want to feel somewhat normal and stable. I hate bouncing between two extremes with no in between.
Not only am I suffering from bipolar disorder, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia, and depression. I used to be very creative, but gradually lost interest in everything. Nowadays, I'm facing the darkest period of my life, waiting for the end, but nobody can understand me.
Literally all the mania symptoms he stated are what I have been experiencing the last year and a half. I just decided to look up what being bipolar is after my mom and little sister said I might have it. Watching this video made me feel better about myself, what I’m going through, and what I need to do to put myself on a right path, not just for myself but for family because I do have big dreams. I just put myself in dark place after messing up a lot with school and hopping from a couple different jobs. Also I don’t have many friends that I hang out with after graduating. Just my two boys and my family were at my side. Sometimes I just wanted to leave and not be around them anymore because I was just fed up with life atm, but in the moment I realized what I was thinking wasn’t going to make anything better and that those people do care
@@deandrejones3035 thats great that you know its not going to make things better. We sometime dont want to live for ourselves but we must think about our loved ones and we have to live for them. This is the only option for bipolar disorder patients.
I have Bipolar 1 disorder and I take a mood stabilizer and antidepressant. Taking a mood stabilizer that usually is a night time medication, has helped me take control and learn to cope with myself. Find the right medicine is my advice.
Having depression is not bipolar, its just being depressed. My mother is proper bipolar and its heart breaking ..ive grown up with my mother having a breakdowns and manic episodes. No falt of hers it was a chemical imbalance that needed stabilizing. I promised my mother ill always tell her and talk her through things. Ive been in foster care when she been taken from me . Frightening for us both . My heart goes out to to ppl with this , ....my advice is tell some one if you feel a shift think what might have set it off ,go to a trusted gp ask them to monitor your levels . Keep off alcohol and drugs .you need to have clarity. Never touch it. It can change its symptoms with age as well its characteristic. My mother had a very bad turn that worsened over time in her 60s she started hearing and seeing things ,having confused thoughts mixing up the past and present lose of time talking nonsense and paranoid cold not sleep would argue .than she go missing ..with no shoes on .i was heart broken .but she got better with treatment love and understanding.
Sounds more like schizoeffective bipolar disorder. I have it. But the depression is known as a manic depression which tends to onset delusions. Her shame is what leads to manic depressive state where all she knows is her worthlessness. To escape, we go into a catatonic state, or have full blown delusions. It's worse than normal bipolar... bipolar in itself is Not what you described. Get her diagnosed using the dsm5 Intel. Abilify!
My father is suffering from bipolar disorder, his first episode of mania is going on since 4 months, he won't take medicines and won't do medical tests. Is this curable?
@@davincisdemons3126 it's been really difficult living with him, I am 18 year old and I have a small brother and my mother in the family. He says lot of bad things about my mother despite she took care of him for so long. He doesn't want to accept that he has mental illness and he yells at us when we confront him with what he said, and we would not be in a good financial situation if we separate from him. I just don't know what to do.
Both mania and the depressive episodes are horrible for me. My mania, at it’s worst, has lasted weeks at a time with no sleep for over half of it. If I got lucky I could lay down and close my eyes for an hour. I have experienced significant trauma frequently throughout my life. Recently I stopped taking my medications. I just stopped. But thankfully I’m back on them. Lamotrigine and Duloxetine for the past couple years.
I actually haven't got in a bad mood in my career since I started using dmtcroop40 this month I don't experience pains,Bipolar,PTSD,depression,anxiety and other mental disorders. She gives the best diagnosis and psychedelic
I too take the same combination but I still suffer from depression and want to sleep all day and stay up all night.. They help with my irritability and mood swings but still trying to find a combo for my depression... The low days are horrible and zero energy or motivation... I prefer to be manic bc I feel like I have more energy and motivation but my ideas never happen bc the depression side kicks in longer... I had problem keeping a job and stress was unbearable... I am praying for relief from my depression soon .. I know I need medicine bc without it I am much worse .. It all started in my late 20s due to childhood trauma and mental health issues in my family.. Mine is genetic and environmental
There are a few songs and (I believe) a book written by the musician Emilie Autumn about her experience with having Bipolar Disorder and being in a psych ward. I would recommend that anybody who's interested in the subject checks it out. 👍 Edit: I believe that she has Type 1.
My sister and dad have bipolar. My sister has psychosis with hers. My dad has delusions. He would think we were talking about him or doing things we weren’t and he would beat that crap out of me. Still to this day my narcissistic mother who was very borderline and abusive stood by him. My sister never recovered from a drug she took that my other sister gave her. So she’s for ever in a psychotic state. She had a son and a very awful husband. I think she wanted to get away from him. But in return she lost herself and her son. Her son also had bipolar or severe depression. I don’t blame him I was there to protect him when he was a child from my abusive father and very neglectful mother. I was only 11 being the care take of him and my psychotic sister for three years. It took its toll I mentally broke down in school. I had to get away from my parents and so help me god I finally did even if it cost me my life. But I am older now 31 I have been through hell with abusive people and had to leave my world behind to find a better me and one that realizes I’m important I matter it’s time for me. This will pass you will have better days.
Hello Tatianna, when reading your comment, hopefully now or even before the 6 months ago. That those Better Days already started and if sometimes you have troublesome moments: that you can think about good moments, good experiences from what you like to do or with good people that you know and can do things like favorite sports, like events or special events about something you and them like. maybe siteseeing, citytrip, traveling with people you trust and like for there good characters. if you like cooking, maybe if you have time a new hobby, studying,.... Whatever it takes to minimize those troublesome moments and turn them in to Better Days. And the more Better Moments or Better Days you have will make it. Eventually easyer for You :the more You and Good People can Create those Better Moments. And will have happy, funny and positive emotions speaking about emotions 😀😃😄🙂😊that this symbols will happen as much as possible for You and Them who are close to you hopefully every single day; best of luck and positive times for You.
I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder up until I was 23 years old suffered overall with my emotions and comfortability In every aspect of my self was originally given a medication to treat my terrets disorder when younger which is what I was diagnosed as well as having ocd eventually after suffering immensely for years not knowing what to do after graduating high school and spending almost a year in a hospital and loaded up on Abilify on a much higher dosage administered I stoped it cold turkey and doing incredible in every possible way it’s sad that the health care system is so broken and barely anyone truly gets the help they need
I appreciate how easy this video is to understand; the diagrams make it even clearer. Depression can be challenging, but mindful tools backed by medical evidence can make a difference. I like to break my days into 1-90-second blocks to boost my mood when I'm feeling down. Thanks for sharing these helpful insights @rhesusmedicine
As an occupational therapist, we have to deal with patients of all sorts, most tricky being BPAD , and schzophrenia. Its just sad and terriying at the same time.
I wish I got the euphoric episodes. I was misdiagnosed as having anxiety, depression and ADHD for many years and the treatments are very different. I get agitation and dysphoric hypomania. Everything becomes extremely irritating. I am trying to spread the message after having my symptoms misread for so long that mania does not necessarily look like the media portrays it. I'll get periods where I cycle rapidly, or periods where it's a week or two of hypomania followed by a week or two of depression. Occasionally I'll have a balanced day. About once a year I might get a balanced month or two! 47 years of this shit
I’ve dealt with so much trauma in my life that it’s hard for me to think I haven’t just acclimated to depression. Until the manic episodes were brought up. The urge to say shit talk fast and not have control over it. I do it to my brother all the time, the last time was over him disagreeing with me over a video game opinion and I ended up almost knocking him unconscious. Thought it was the adderall but I wonder if I’ve been misdiagnosed. Got the adderall prescription from a primary care Dr. After a measly 10 question worksheet that’s basically just asked me if I was stressed out as an adult. This science seems so flimsy when it comes to mental health though.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had to deal with so much trauma throughout your life. There are two very clear factors that differentiate psychiatric and psychological treatment of patients with 'clinically diagnosed' bipolar disorder, which is medication induced suppression and psycho therapy. From a neuroscience and psychological perspective in relation to trauma responses and emotions/hormone factors, each individual is unique due to personal coping/self regulating mechanisms and life experiences. Unfortunately due to government regulations within the public health system, a lot of secularly trained psychiatrists fail to dig a little deeper into their patients personal psyche and unique history by asking broader questions. 'Seek and you shal find, ask and it will be given to you'. Matthew 7:7.
I use to think I was after several test I’m not. Sometimes life circumstances will cause you to fall into depression. It takes a whole lot to get me depressed.
I think he meant the lows by depression ..I have ever been totally depressed and it was a-different kind of pain for months ..this kind of depressiveness has short stints in certain hours of the day or weeks but it’s still a depressive state just not too too intense ..
First they thought it was a depressive episode .2nd time I was able to open up and I met the criteria and it fully develops in early adulthood..that gave me more clarity not to self blame a lot about transitioning from high school to uni and past trauma .
Years ago when my bipolar friend was on one his highs he told me he thought he could write a successful screenplay for a video game. He doesn't even work for a gaming company or in an industry where they write screenplays.
So? What if it was a great screenplay he doesn’t have to work for a gaming company or industry to make a successful screenplay or anything if it hits it hits it sounds like you just hating on his creative ideas 😁
My ex partner who is the mother of my son suffers with this.. she used to throw me out every argument would cry her eyes out if I even tried go to the shop had her own two older kids turned against me and they used to love me the longer it went on the worse it got. Ever since I left shes had men through the house parties till all hours fighting with neighbour's and even has been in a relationship with her first cousin. I'm so happy I left but I feel so bad that our son is left living in that hell I wish there was more I could do but shes gone nuts so I have to go through court for visitation rights. I hate bipolar disorder 😢😢
My doctors are still not sure wether I have bipolar disorder or not. I myself am convinced I do. From learning about for over 10 years now, it explains so much.
My mother is narcissistic and she is in her 70's now and has become very extreme, she has no tolerance for anything or anyone. The research ive done has involved borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder and she has made threats to take my kids away from me and was taking them away for weekends at a time. It was three days usually a public holiday was added to it and my dayghter would come back saying mean abusive things. I actually dreaded it but I was so flat out with trying to help our severely disabled son and keeping up with his needs and the house, my eldest daughter having a break always seemed like a good idea. The reason i think bipolar could have something to do with it, is because I couldn't keep up with her and she was always changing the goalposts as far as anything was concerned.
Mom had what I believe was undiagnosed bi polar abd untreated But I loved when she was manic she was in a good mood and cleaned and scrubbed everything and listened to music. I hated when she was depressed she would become incapacitated and couldn't get out of bed. In her case her severe depression went away when the source of the problem moved out of our home her family
What did you say to your job cuz I have a hard time explaining things and I need to let em know and what should I tell the person I date so they know I have mental problems
My husband is bipolar and I am at a loss as to what to do right now. We are about to lose everything because of his spending and missing work. He went off his meds because he said he wanted to be manic so he would have more energy. He chose to do this to us...I cannot believe anything he says. My stress level is through the roof and we have 3 kids still at home to take care of. I don't even want to look at him right now. We've been married almost 32 years and I always have to try and clean up the mess he makes. He does thr bad things a d we suffer the consequences 😔
My ex had regular violent outbursts followed by elation and literally punching the air. It was extremely unnerving to live with. He was also grandiose, narcissistic and lacked empathy or protection towards the family including the kids. If it was bipolar, I'm concerned about my kids and my grandkids after reading this. I always knew there was something not right but wasn't sure what. Thankfully I don't have to tolerate it now.
Please help me I love a man with this illness and it's very challenging he's up and we have a great time then if I say something he doesn't agree with he shifts its a mess...😢
@@mrbipolarmattyhoward6071 Thanks so much I'm doing my best to understand sometimes he stops talking to me for weeks...I handle it a lot better now since I'm understanding the illness a little better...but sometimes I forget. I really don't want to leave him but I care and he needs someone besides work...
My father and I both have bipolar, type 2 to be specific. He can be very explosive and we’ve always had financial issues as well as drug addictions in my family so it’s no wonder that at least one of his kids got it. I guess I won lmao.
@@jarrettlowery2802 you got this okay! Even if you don’t think you can make it through or the addiction threatens to take over agin, remember that you’re in control. You control your addiction and mental health, not the other way around…
Thank you for video. It was very informative. Also really helpful reading comments. My son has paranoid schizophrenia,depression. Now I believe bipolar after reading symptoms.
Insightful breakdown of bipolar disorder! The detailed overview and mention of treatment options provide a comprehensive understanding. Kudos to the author for shedding light on such a crucial topic.
How is it genetic just because family members have it? It could also be because you become the people who raise you in fact that is the more likely scenario. Blaming mental illness on genetics gives people an excuse to behave badly and also hinders people from recovering from trauma.
FYI approaching it like that even gives you more space and acceptance to work around it than thinking you can work it out normally ..it’s what has made a difference for me ..I thought it’s entirely a trauma disability and will power would save me it failed always .
For any parents reading the comments, this is your sign not to put your hands on your kids for any reason whether it be discipline or otherwise. Believe me, they and you will pay for it
I am not Bipolar but, I am technically still taking one of the two meds for Epilepsy as somewhat mood stabilizers since I can be triggered by stress which are one used to being Carbemazepine, and what is now still being Lamotrigine. Which while on very strong dosage I can be drowsy as all hell. Not able to focus and function well at times because of it. Rather at home or work and that drowsiness scares the crap out of me because I have to fight to stay awake while doing any activity of any kind and then while on both or either medication. If it rains the drowsiness gets even worst. At one point of my life I was on both and that turned out bad for me into my early adulthood.
Im on Mania time. It is bad....but when I get like this I pace around a lot with more than one single thought. Yeah I think someone wanted to sabatoge my job. Its bad because everything was very unprofessional. Talking about it now like this is helping me tho. How do ya know? I was not searching for this on here.
It's hard having this it but it makes me who I am I wouldn't be me without out it. I hope all of you stay strong and don't go off your meds unless you're very very sure and have a safety plan ready. God loves you and he's taken care of us don't be angry with him please because bipolar disorder is actually a blessing & never let someone gas light you we are just as normal as anyone else.
ive found that cannabis has been very helpful for managing my depressive episodes i can sorta process my feelings from an outside perspective without it ive also found that reminding myself constantly that my depressive episode will pass eventually also helps not as much as the weed but still very helpful
Hardest for me is dealing with my husband who is in denial about illness. I truly believe he suffers from this but he refuses to acknowledge it. Definitely he won't seek a diagnosis. It's so hard to deal with him.
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but a psychedelic is that times a thousand. See so again the point is not to achieve some blissful state or to see some cool colors or to travel to some new dimension you can do all those things. That's nice, that's fun. The point is the lessons the insights you get and the meta understanding of how this entire process works because as you're exploring all your different domains you're learning about your own mind. How the mind of God is generating reality and why it's generating it.
@@randellnelson1082 How do you know that death isn't the greatest thing that's ever gonna happen to you. When you actually die you dissolve into an ocean of infinite love. Death is equivalent to infinite love. Death is equivalent to infinite consciousness. Death is equivalent to God. Death is immortality. Death is paradise or heaven. So the biggest mindfuck of life is to discover that death is actually infinite love. Being and not-being, order and disorder, life and death, light and darkness, masculine and feminine, dry and wet, hot and cold, active and passive, life and death, for example, are mutually arising, interdependent, and complementary aspects of one and the same process. Life contains the seed of death; death the Fertile energizing seed of life.
lol. I seen my ex husband screwing a chick in my mind, like a vision. When he came home I told him what he was doing and where he was doing it, he thought the chick called me and confessed because I was so spot on. It was great.
@@jolenewells How do you comunicate so much beauty? It's Incredible. I just look at it and it brings me to tears. Because I'm looking at it and I'm looking at myself. Yeah you've never really seen porn until you've seen it on 5meo DMT. Until you recognize that it's you and that's basically what Infinity is. Sort of like I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you more, I love you more, I love you more. Who can love who more? And whoever can love who more is God. You see that long laundry list of stuff about you that you don't love. God loves all of it. I'm sorry for not loving more, that's the only thing you have to be sorry about. Thank you. Thank You For Love! And at this point you realize that that's it, that's the point. That's the only lesson in life. That's my only job. Is to love. Everything else is idiocy and then what you do is you say I love you. For the first time in your life you say I love you because you really understand what that phrase means and you fall in love with God. But as it throws it out there, it's gentle so he throws it out there but then you say oh I can't love it and then what God will say in return is, it's okay. I love that you are not capable of love. I love that. And when that hits you. That's what fills you with enough love to overcome your resistance to love even that next level thing that you could do. No it can't be love. Of course it's love! what else could it be! It's love! No oh my God this is impossible! Of course it's love how could it be anything else!? How could I be so stupid as to think it's anything else. And God is like of course it's love.
Bro same situation 😖 I am a teenager and my father also suffered this situation those days were terrible due to the this disorder my Father lost his job and he is now become very dishearted and lazy because of having bunch of medicines to get rid of bipolar.😥
I have everything a person can dream of. A wonderful spouse 2 beautiful healthy adult children. My body is healthy as well with no disease I'm aware of. Money Good job Fresh water Good food Safe And still no happiness... This is beyond frustrating and sad. There's days i want to never wake up. What's wrong with me please
The interesting thing about bipolar is it’s so often associated w women. I know a few men who exhibit these symptoms (I am mot diagnosing). I believe it’s something that’s probably over-diagnosed in women (not from my personal experience it from what I know of other women I’ve known over the years) & chronically under-diagnosed in men.
Lot of men don’t seek mental help because they think its “unmanly”. The gap is huge but its changing as a larger percentage of younger generations are seeking m help
@ yes, this is true. Many are quicker to diagnosis women but I’ve seen the behavior far more in men. It’s written off as male aggression, being “intense”, or “boys will be boys”, substance abuse / misuse, etc. Usually “mood disorders” historically are something that have been quick to be thrown at women - think “hysteria”.
Reading these comments is just blowing my mind,depression is not a cycle of regular things in life,it's not about one minute I'm fine and then the next minute I feel down it's a combo of things mental illness is real and it's nothing to play around with! Mental disorders stems from having a chemical imbalance that doesn't process things like a normal brain do, it's just as series as cancer or any other disease! And their not demons either that's why God talks about feeling alone,or lonely,sad when your in time of need and so on. I'm not ashamed to say I have Bipolar type 2 it runs in my family,I major depression disorder ptsd,and generalize anxiety disorder from different things that has happened in my life! Living with multiple mental illness's is not fun at all,taking different medicine and having to take them everyday is hard! so if you don't have a mental illness or know someone with one just keep your opinions to yourself
Bet you notice too, if you tell people you see a psychiatrist they think you are an ax murderer and start to distance themselves from you. I prefer to stay away from a lot of people. Sick of this crap.
Idkk. But on just about every antidepressant medication label, it warns that the person taking it could develop symptoms such as suicidal ideation/thoughts. I don't think antidepressants are merely a placebo. They definitely do something lol
bipolar مثل ان تتعرض للاذي ولا تجد وسيلة لدفعه فتسكت بعد المحاولة ولكن الاذى باقي باقي رغم كل شيء وفي كل مناسبة تخرج ريحه وينزف وكل شيء تسكت تبكي عندا ينفجر الوضع ثم تسكت ثم تبكي عندما ينفجر الوضع مثل جزء من لعبة الكترونية لا يتاثر اللاعب واللعبة لعبة حياتها ومماتها عادي لعبة..الشرح لبعض bipolar المتاخر بعد فوات الاوان. من الجيد ان هناك امراض فسية يستطيع الواحد مسح افعاله وظلمه للشخاص لسنوات فيها...مريح جدا خاصة بعد تقريبا عقد. لعبة العب وارمي او اصلح باي شيء المهم لعبة
I am almost 70, and I was just diagnosed as bipolar, last week. I went to this psychiatrist to find out if I am autistic. He said that I am mildly autistic and also bipolar. The autistic part of my diagnosis makes sense to me, but the bipolar part doesn't. He put me on bipolar medication. I am no psychiatrist, so part of me thinks I shouldn't be second guessing a professional, but if I do have symptoms of bipolar disorder that I might not recognize myself, they can't be severe, because I can't remember ever having any severe manic episodes. On occasion, I have been a little happier than usual with a feeling that something fantastic is about to happen, and it almost feels like a high or a rush, but these episodes don't really last all that long and nothing I anticipate ever comes to pass. So, I'm wondering whether it is the doctor who is mistaken, or me who is mistaken.
Growing up I didn’t understand bipolar because my dad has it when he will always have his mood swings it will confuse me but I understand now and my brother has it and I had friends that had it they moods will switch up so quickly
It is deeper than just mood swings, there's way more to this disorder I've been struggling with it for years and sometimes I just wanna give up. It is hard.
I was searching for a video like this because I think I might have it. It could completely be just one of the hysterical thoights I havr because of my anxiaty, but I've been feeling things lately which I don't think are normal. I'm a teen and I've been struggling with severe anxiaty my whole life, but lately I've been having mood changes very often. For example, yesterday morning I was so depressed my mom forced me to get out of bed and change out of my pijamas because she thought fir sure that if she didn't I.would stay in bed all day and eat nothing, and she's right. Later that afternoon I felt happy and energetic, hungry and talktaive. I even went dancing. Today I am once agaun depressed, I had to go home in the middle of the day because I wanted to cry and eat a lot. I went home and after I ate I felt happy and calm, and now I feel sad again. I don't know what this is because I did search a lot about bipolar disorder for the book I'm writing and I always see people say that the episodes take a few days, weeks or months, not hours. But I really related to what she said in the video and I think definitly something is not normal. I can't funcion in the daily life, because sometimes school is too boring and I have to get up from my seat and see the outside world, and sometimes I can't even get myself to school becausw I'm too depressed. If yoy read until here and you have it, could you please tell me if it sounds like it to you or something else? I don't want to worry my parents in case it's just in my head (it makes sense because I always convince myself of things and like I said I have hysterical thoughts, and plus I think I'm at the right age for that) but at the same time I need to find a way ti help myself because this is not ideal
I had depression for months until treated, then years later had mania for months until treatsd, I don't fit into any of the classifications. I use prescribed alprozolam/xanax when i have episodes.
I don’t enjoy that the medical field put a label on this and then prescribed pills to fix it. I find that all the damage and suffering I’ve endured has no doubt made me a better person, yea I can REALLY hate myself sometimes and am a irritated ass at flick of a switch but I also know that I’m just a little broken and the pain just comes in waves, I know that self-coping will pull me through, I’m just a unimaginably caring person, that is uncomfortable selfish
This doesn’t exactly fit the criteria of your question, but for myself the most informative and detailed source here on youtube is ‘Polar Warriors’. It’s supported by the International Bipolar Foundation. And Rob is just an amazing guy, with an incredible story.
Meds and lots of therapy to combat Bi Polar I disorder. Medicine is my first line of defense against this horrible disorder. If you take Valproic Acid try to switch to something less harmful to your liver. Ask your doctor first before making any changes to you med regimen.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
I'm bipolar and my ex was too and she literally did a b and e then bit and cut open a main artery in her arm .she got put in the psych ward and they gave her electro shock therapy and it was like being with a different person. I felt like they were frying her brain plus they had her on all types of psych meds too ,it was wild
Lost my relationship going to through this she said I didn’t seem like was the same I was always spaced out and shaking uncontrollably it sucks cause I thought i was finally “normal”
Quetiapine helped me alot, the ability to have reliable and routine sleep allowed me to be clearer in knowing when manic/depressive episodes are comming on. With good education and help from phycs, Im able to be self aware enouph to lessen the impacts these 2 opposing forces have on my life. Its never ending but ive found my stability in this routine.
Recently I have been feeling a big mood change, involving this. Sometimes I get very violent for days on end, then I get very sad for days then mad for days then very happy for days, or some days I’m very tired and I won’t get up for even months at a time, and I won’t drink or eat anything, there’s no reason why it’s happening, nothing happened, but one thing went wrong then I get very upset then the next day I just won’t get up, I’ll be basically a mess, and I won’t eat anything. And sometimes, I get very hyper and active like, my brain can’t stop, I get in these states where I’m very focused yet unfocused and sometimes I’m very very unfocused, I can’t look at one thing for 10 seconds, even if it’s the wall or just paper or something I enjoy, I’m not sure what’s wrong, I don’t wanna self diagnose myself cause that’s just horrible, but I don’t think that I can’t continue like this, I’ve gained all of this almost a year ago, and I’m exhausted. Sometimes, I go weeks with feeling okay, then I get very very happy then I just crash. I’m not sure what to do, and I’m not even sure if it’s bipolar disorder.
This sounds like some of the same things my guy goes through. It's very hurtful to a relationship especially when you love them. You say something he doesn't like or don't agree with him he shuts me out blocks my calls won't call for weeks....I try to hang in there with him because we are in our prime of life he tries to hang in there but...once I say what his mine can't handle he shuts down. It's really sad. 😢
My doctor said I might be bipolar but I don’t have manic episodes lasting 7 days. I get mood swings sure but never got he point of endangering myself except for promiscuity.
You should do research on the mania and hypo mania, to see if you are experiencing those symptoms. If the mood wing is just composed of depression (low) and anxiety and frustration (high). then it’s most likely just depression. i’ve had a psychiatrist tell me I had bipolar disorder due to my insomnia. That didn’t make sense because when i didn’t sleep i didn’t even want to do anything. when i was put on the olazapine, the medication sedated. Because this medication is used for bipolar disorder, she thought I had bipolar disorder. People who use meth also use olazapine to go to sleep, does that mean they have bipolar disorder? absolutely not. another psychiatrist was fixated on the previous psychiatrists notes on me and decided to put me on lithium. i stayed on it, however i didn’t notice an improvement in either my depression or insomnia, which my psychiatrist told me it would. when i wanted to get off the lithium, my psychiatrist at the time didn’t want to because my mood would fluctuate up and down, going from mania and depression. I was at 900 mg of lithium per day, and my psychiatrist said that if i were to decrease it i would suffer major mood swings. I stopped taking it entirely and didn’t have any mood swings at all. I didn’t see my psychiatrist later on and i kept on saying can i got off the lithium, even though i was already off. my psychiatrist said that i was doing well on it, even though i had stopped taking it 6 months prior. moral of the story is that some doctors are fixated towards specific things within your treatment and entirely neglect the other aspects. just keep this in mind because doctors can’t actually know what you feel like.
Bipolar is fckin horrible I think I’m getting to the end stages of a bipolar episode after being forced to be in a panic attack for over 2 weeks straight, still have a little anxiety for no reason certain things that I used to be like bleh whatever about now makes me anxious, it’s the most horrifying feeling in the whole universe. The worst part is the feeling in the back of brain…which makes me panic more…I still feel it a little bit but not nearly as much as the last few days….sleep is impossible, working is dreadful, hunger is nonexistent…and the fear that you are stuck like this only intensifies the panic. The first one I had was 2 years ago and it almost killed me had a gun to my head ready to make the fight or flight mode…the pure unadulterated extremely severe terror I felt end…I hope I’m not the only one. Those saying they get depressed….I would kill all living creatures just to be depressed instead of what it’s really like,
My grandpa & auntie have bipolar disorder. My grandpa takes medication tho and you really cant tell he even has it. But my aunt dosnt like taking her medication saying she doesn’t feel like herself when she does
Could a person have a form of bipolar that’s not so extreme? I go through thoughts of suicide for a few weeks to playing music and joking and just happy and I thought it was bipolar but my highs and lows aren’t as extreme as this video explains.
I think everyone has mood swings. Even more extreme swings can be normal if your a teenager for example. It only becomes a disorder when it prevents you from functioning in your daily life. Suicidal ideations are not normal and always need to be addressed.
I’m 12, and I think I have bipolar disorder. There’s some days where I feel like absolute shit and just stay in my home, watching the internet. There’s other days where I’m way more productive and happier.
That's pretty normal just human experience but still talk with a professional if you're concerned. I got diagnosed at 11 and even back then I had extreme mood cycles. One month I would be super talkative, make friends, play outside, talent shows, etc.. Then the next month or two would be full of crying, self harm, and trying to run away.
I have bi polar 1 bi polar 2 with manic episodes ptsd anxiety depression battery women syndrome and have been considered a danger to society for Spanish g out on this women who just caught me in the wrong moment.

I got diagnosed in rehab after being a daily drinker for about 4 years. It was a relief to finally have an answer to my excessive mood swings & why I kept self medicating. Been sober 6 months 🎉 I’m on medication specifically for bipolar & work with CBT. It’s been some of the toughest months of my 20s trying to find meds that work, a good routine, & therapy- but I’m trying
Which meds are working for you?
I'm bipolar and it sucks. The end of last year and beginning of this year I was manic and spent myself into oblivion. Now I'm in the depressive swing trying to clean up the mess I made. Hopefully I learned my lesson.
Do you sleep less during a manic episode also? I sleep like 4hrs if I'm lucky but I still feel tired and demotivated throughout the day despite feeling stimulated mentally.
Nope. I can guarantee, you haven’t.
please try hard not to think that you did anything wrong! you only make bad decisions and bad actions because you have bipolar. i feel so sad for you. life with bipolar is not fair. we begin to change our personalities and don’t know it! i hope you have the strength to go on and overcome the horrible feelings and thoughts of killing yourself!! manicmakes you physically sick, but depression is the worst. at least i think tnhat.
Hello Alkohallick, i hope that the cleaning up is already done. Meaning that you fixed it and everything is already better. in the 3 months ago. Else that it will be as soon as possible for You. and i wish You Good Happiness, Good Health,Good Luck and Good Prosperity and for those that are around you or close to You; Learning is also very important and also in that part i wish You the Best.

My husband is bipolar. Imagine mania like this. You have all the energy and motivation in the world but instead of cleaning up and organizing your space, you scatter everything everywhere and spend all your time deciding where you want a single pencil to go.
I am really not trying to be funny for anyone thinking that, my husband is a property manager and has to deal with rent from 68 different tenants. If there’s an issue with anything, the more anxious he gets, the more random piles of money he makes until it’s a total mess. I support him through those moments the best I can and help organize it with him, usually ends up okay but I really feel for him because it’s not something he can really control. He’s done really well over the years with accepting help when it gets too much and I couldn’t be prouder really. He’s terrified of the depression side so he always steers to mania if he can. I don’t blame him there. I know depression and can’t imagine how tough bipolar depression can be, I imagine it’s worse than what I had. Being overwhelmed is one thing, being so down that you couldn’t care less about even getting out of bed is scarier to me. You could literally let your whole life just fall apart.
Thank you for being a source of light,love and support for him❤️
I know he appreciates you more than you know
I pray that it gets easier for you both
I wish i had the support and understanding you give your husband
I just know your husband is so grateful to have you ❤️❤️❤️ I’m bipolar and speaking for all bipolars, we all need that kind of support.
How can I get my husband to care about my mental health,recognize it's not me just wanting to be distant from him,I feel we're so far apart bc I keep my distance not even living a life bc I'm trapped inside my mind.
You are a true trophy wife ❤ not many people could navigate thru this kind of relationship with such kindness & wisdom. He is very fortunate to have you in his life

@@marknewton6984 yes because I was really closed to her. Almost like family, but I noticed a change in moods ,and how I felt she was forcing herself into keeping a certain mood I dunno hard to explain. I didn't understand. Until one day she told she was bipolar.
As someone with bipolar you can manage your moods and the way u respond even though it's incredibly difficult 😂
I got diagnosed with bipolar 18 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting bipolar. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction?
Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
Thank you for this, I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and on meds for I think a year now, and before I was diagnosed with bipolar, I was diagnosed with depression (still am) but this really helped. I didn't really exactly know what it was, I knew about mania and depressive episodes, but I never really GOT it.
My mother had bipolar. But also schizophrenic (persecutary delusions) and a narcissist.
In a maniac episode. It was like dealing with a rabbit dog. One wrong move or word and she was over you. Beating you in a pulp.
@@Willy_Wanka.
@@Willy_Wankayea I sometimes think I should stay single
@Teufer2, sounds exactly like my mother, very physically abusive and today, now that I'm older, verbally abusive. So I just no longer have anything to do with her.
That's seriously horrible. Are you able to be estranged from her at this point? No guilt if you do.
I feel you. I also have a relative with both and they’re a f nightmare. Suck the soul and joy out of me. But bc they’re family I feel that obligation that I have to feel sorry for their suffering while putting mine under the rug. It’s a nightmare. Hell. Living hell.
Who else likes the highs? 😁 because everything is funny and nothing bothers you, but you also get scared because you know the depression is going to happen at some point soon..😔
The last time I went into full manic was nearly 3 years ago I ran out of zyprexa & forgot to get more it was completely out of my system I was awake for almost 5 days without sleep but felt better once my meds kicked back in haven't had an episode since
@@zyprexamedssucks32 I'm not sleeping right now 😒
@@laurabattle638 damn that's not good how are you managing this at the the moment I went through hell the last time I was in manic including spending lots of money on cds
I remember telling my Dr if I was manic all the time, I'd probably be a lot more successful in live. My depressive episodes are just so low. I won't leave my house for days, quit my jobs, and completely dissociate with video games for months. I'll get mini manic episodes before it shoots back up to full mania. Mania makes me make better art and a desire to share it. Depression makes me destroy my art. I'm in a constant cycle of building my self up just to destroy it. It's so tiring and I'm scared one day I'm just gonna end it. I don't want to die, I just want to feel somewhat normal and stable. I hate bouncing between two extremes with no in between.

Bipolar happens mostly to intellectuals..it is high maintenance..
Not only am I suffering from bipolar disorder, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia, and depression. I used to be very creative, but gradually lost interest in everything. Nowadays, I'm facing the darkest period of my life, waiting for the end, but nobody can understand me.

Literally all the mania symptoms he stated are what I have been experiencing the last year and a half. I just decided to look up what being bipolar is after my mom and little sister said I might have it. Watching this video made me feel better about myself, what I’m going through, and what I need to do to put myself on a right path, not just for myself but for family because I do have big dreams. I just put myself in dark place after messing up a lot with school and hopping from a couple different jobs. Also I don’t have many friends that I hang out with after graduating. Just my two boys and my family were at my side. Sometimes I just wanted to leave and not be around them anymore because I was just fed up with life atm, but in the moment I realized what I was thinking wasn’t going to make anything better and that those people do care
I have a brother who has bipolar and there are times were he'd hurt us I still love him 'tho
@@deandrejones3035 thats great that you know its not going to make things better. We sometime dont want to live for ourselves but we must think about our loved ones and we have to live for them. This is the only option for bipolar disorder patients.
I have Bipolar 1 disorder and I take a mood stabilizer and antidepressant. Taking a mood stabilizer that usually is a night time medication, has helped me take control and learn to cope with myself. Find the right medicine is my advice.
If I may ask, is that you were not aware of your disease earlier and didn't feel the need to take medicine?
Hi I've just started to take a mood stabiliser how soon do they start to work ??
@@michaelaredfearn7082within a week or so I would say. They take affect quicker than antidepressants

Thank you for simplifying a very challenging as well as demanding concept. The images and the drawings on the whiteboard play a huge role.
Having depression is not bipolar, its just being depressed.
My mother is proper bipolar and its heart breaking ..ive grown up with my mother having a breakdowns and manic episodes.
No falt of hers it was a chemical imbalance that needed stabilizing.
I promised my mother ill always tell her and talk her through things.
Ive been in foster care when she been taken from me .
Frightening for us both .
My heart goes out to to ppl with this , ....my advice is tell some one if you feel a shift think what might have set it off ,go to a trusted gp ask them to monitor your levels .
Keep off alcohol and drugs .you need to have clarity. Never touch it.
It can change its symptoms with age as well its characteristic.
My mother had a very bad turn that worsened over time in her 60s she started hearing and seeing things ,having confused thoughts mixing up the past and present lose of time talking nonsense and paranoid cold not sleep would argue .than she go missing ..with no shoes on .i was heart broken .but she got better with treatment love and understanding.
Sounds more like schizoeffective bipolar disorder. I have it. But the depression is known as a manic depression which tends to onset delusions. Her shame is what leads to manic depressive state where all she knows is her worthlessness. To escape, we go into a catatonic state, or have full blown delusions.
It's worse than normal bipolar... bipolar in itself is Not what you described. Get her diagnosed using the dsm5 Intel.

Both mania and the depressive episodes are horrible for me. My mania, at it’s worst, has lasted weeks at a time with no sleep for over half of it. If I got lucky I could lay down and close my eyes for an hour. I have experienced significant trauma frequently throughout my life. Recently I stopped taking my medications. I just stopped.

I too take the same combination but I still suffer from depression and want to sleep all day and stay up all night.. They help with my irritability and mood swings but still trying to find a combo for my depression... The low days are horrible and zero energy or motivation... I prefer to be manic bc I feel like I have more energy and motivation but my ideas never happen bc the depression side kicks in longer... I had problem keeping a job and stress was unbearable... I am praying for relief from my depression soon .. I know I need medicine bc without it I am much worse .. It all started in my late 20s due to childhood trauma and mental health issues in my family.. Mine is genetic and environmental
Lamotrigine saves my life I also take Lexapro for mood stabilizers
Bipolar is common in actors and musicians where they appear to be able to time and control their moods to aid their work.
There was a two-year period after I got disabled in the military where I couldn't drive because the second I do I was going to mania and break down
I'm bipolar 1 we are just more inclined to be creative. That's why we're more likely to be musicians, actors, and artists.
There are a few songs and (I believe) a book written by the musician Emilie Autumn about her experience with having Bipolar Disorder and being in a psych ward. I would recommend that anybody who's interested in the subject checks it out. 👍 Edit: I believe that she has Type 1.
My sister and dad have bipolar. My sister has psychosis with hers. My dad has delusions. He would think we were talking about him or doing things we weren’t and he would beat that crap out of me. Still to this day my narcissistic mother who was very borderline and abusive stood by him. My sister never recovered from a drug she took that my other sister gave her. So she’s for ever in a psychotic state. She had a son and a very awful husband. I think she wanted to get away from him. But in return she lost herself and her son. Her son also had bipolar or severe depression. I don’t blame him I was there to protect him when he was a child from my abusive father and very neglectful mother. I was only 11 being the care take of him and my psychotic sister for three years. It took its toll I mentally broke down in school. I had to get away from my parents and so help me god I finally did even if it cost me my life. But I am older now 31 I have been through hell with abusive people and had to leave my world behind to find a better me and one that realizes I’m important I matter it’s time for me. This will pass you will have better days.

Hello Tatianna, when reading your comment, hopefully now or even before the 6 months ago. That those Better Days already started and if sometimes you have troublesome moments: that you can think about good moments, good experiences from what you like to do or with good people that you know and can do things like favorite sports, like events or special events about something you and them like. maybe siteseeing, citytrip, traveling with people you trust and like for there good characters. if you like cooking, maybe if you have time a new hobby, studying,.... Whatever it takes to minimize those troublesome moments and turn them in to Better Days. And the more Better Moments or Better Days you have will make it. Eventually easyer for You :the more You and Good People can Create those Better Moments. And will have happy, funny and positive emotions speaking about emotions 😀😃😄🙂😊that this symbols will happen as much as possible for You and Them who are close to you hopefully every single day; best of luck and positive times for You.
I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder up until I was 23 years old suffered overall with my emotions and comfortability In every aspect of my self was originally given a medication to treat my terrets disorder when younger which is what I was diagnosed as well as having ocd eventually after suffering immensely for years not knowing what to do after graduating high school and spending almost a year in a hospital and loaded up on Abilify on a much higher dosage administered I stoped it cold turkey and doing incredible in every possible way it’s sad that the health care system is so broken and barely anyone truly gets the help they need
I appreciate how easy this video is to understand; the diagrams make it even clearer. Depression can be challenging, but mindful tools backed by medical evidence can make a difference. I like to break my days into 1-90-second blocks to boost my mood when I'm feeling down. Thanks for sharing these helpful insights @rhesusmedicine
As an occupational therapist, we have to deal with patients of all sorts, most tricky being BPAD , and schzophrenia. Its just sad and terriying at the same time.
BPAD? I guess that's a typo
I wish I got the euphoric episodes. I was misdiagnosed as having anxiety, depression and ADHD for many years and the treatments are very different.
I get agitation and dysphoric hypomania. Everything becomes extremely irritating. I am trying to spread the message after having my symptoms misread for so long that mania does not necessarily look like the media portrays it.
I'll get periods where I cycle rapidly, or periods where it's a week or two of hypomania followed by a week or two of depression. Occasionally I'll have a balanced day. About once a year I might get a balanced month or two! 47 years of this shit
I’ve dealt with so much trauma in my life that it’s hard for me to think I haven’t just acclimated to depression. Until the manic episodes were brought up. The urge to say shit talk fast and not have control over it. I do it to my brother all the time, the last time was over him disagreeing with me over a video game opinion and I ended up almost knocking him unconscious. Thought it was the adderall but I wonder if I’ve been misdiagnosed. Got the adderall prescription from a primary care Dr. After a measly 10 question worksheet that’s basically just asked me if I was stressed out as an adult. This science seems so flimsy when it comes to mental health though.
@James Becketts this is foul😂 dude recommending shrooms to someone saying they had a manic episode😂😂
It's the Adderall dear
I'm sorry to hear that you have had to deal with so much trauma throughout your life. There are two very clear factors that differentiate psychiatric and psychological treatment of patients with 'clinically diagnosed' bipolar disorder, which is medication induced suppression and psycho therapy. From a neuroscience and psychological perspective in relation to trauma responses and emotions/hormone factors, each individual is unique due to personal coping/self regulating mechanisms and life experiences. Unfortunately due to government regulations within the public health system, a lot of secularly trained psychiatrists fail to dig a little deeper into their patients personal psyche and unique history by asking broader questions.

I think he meant the lows by depression ..I have ever been totally depressed and it was a-different kind of pain for months ..this kind of depressiveness has short stints in certain hours of the day or weeks but it’s still a depressive state just not too too intense ..
It’s always better to go to a pyschiatrist ..it opened a door for me for self awareness..though it has taken long to reach here .
First they thought it was a depressive episode .2nd time I was able to open up and I met the criteria and it fully develops in early adulthood..that gave me more clarity not to self blame a lot about transitioning from high school to uni and past trauma .
Great for you ❤if you fully recovered..from the episodes
Years ago when my bipolar friend was on one his highs he told me he thought he could write a successful screenplay for a video game. He doesn't even work for a gaming company or in an industry where they write screenplays.
😮😅
So? What if it was a great screenplay he doesn’t have to work for a gaming company or industry to make a successful screenplay or anything if it hits it hits it sounds like you just hating on his creative ideas 😁
@@golit4143 Actually, you do have to have ties to the gaming industry to write for them. It's not like being a book author.

My ex partner who is the mother of my son suffers with this.. she used to throw me out every argument would cry her eyes out if I even tried go to the shop had her own two older kids turned against me and they used to love me the longer it went on the worse it got. Ever since I left shes had men through the house parties till all hours fighting with neighbour's and even has been in a relationship with her first cousin. I'm so happy I left but I feel so bad that our son is left living in that hell I wish there was more I could do but shes gone nuts so I have to go through court for visitation rights. I hate bipolar disorder 😢😢
Me too.
My doctors are still not sure wether I have bipolar disorder or not. I myself am convinced I do.
From learning about for over 10 years now, it explains so much.
My mother is narcissistic and she is in her 70's now and has become very extreme, she has no tolerance for anything or anyone. The research ive done has involved borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder and she has made threats to take my kids away from me and was taking them away for weekends at a time. It was three days usually a public holiday was added to it and my dayghter would come back saying mean abusive things. I actually dreaded it but I was so flat out with trying to help our severely disabled son and keeping up with his needs and the house, my eldest daughter having a break always seemed like a good idea. The reason i think bipolar could have something to do with it, is because I couldn't keep up with her and she was always changing the goalposts as far as anything was concerned.
Mom had what I believe was undiagnosed bi polar abd untreated
But I loved when she was manic she was in a good mood and cleaned and scrubbed everything and listened to music. I hated when she was depressed she would become incapacitated and couldn't get out of bed. In her case her severe depression went away when the source of the problem moved out of our home her family
This help me explain this to my job once I was diagnosed with severe bipolar 1
What did you say to your job cuz I have a hard time explaining things and I need to let em know and what should I tell the person I date so they know I have mental problems
I use to ride the short bus
My husband is bipolar and I am at a loss as to what to do right now. We are about to lose everything because of his spending and missing work. He went off his meds because he said he wanted to be manic so he would have more energy. He chose to do this to us...I cannot believe anything he says. My stress level is through the roof and we have 3 kids still at home to take care of. I don't even want to look at him right now. We've been married almost 32 years and I always have to try and clean up the mess he makes. He does thr bad things a d we suffer the consequences 😔
My ex had regular violent outbursts followed by elation and literally punching the air. It was extremely unnerving to live with. He was also grandiose, narcissistic and lacked empathy or protection towards the family including the kids. If it was bipolar, I'm concerned about my kids and my grandkids after reading this. I always knew there was something not right but wasn't sure what. Thankfully I don't have to tolerate it now.

Bipolar one seems very horrible. The gap between the highs and the lows is huge. I don't know how people survive it.
great explanation
Insightful breakdown of bipolar disorder! The detailed overview and mention of treatment options provide a comprehensive understanding. Kudos to the author for shedding light on such a crucial topic.
I had suffered from Bipolar Disorder while iam 13 coz of situation and I am taking perfect treatment from good psychiatry
I wish i could just be fucking normal
Normal is empty and bland.
How is it genetic just because family members have it? It could also be because you become the people who raise you in fact that is the more likely scenario. Blaming mental illness on genetics gives people an excuse to behave badly and also hinders people from recovering from trauma.
Disabilities are valid excuses what are you talking about
Eh. Not really. Mood changes like this aren’t really a learned behavior.
@@daisymaygames💯💯
FYI approaching it like that even gives you more space and acceptance to work around it than thinking you can work it out normally ..it’s what has made a difference for me ..I thought it’s entirely a trauma disability and will power would save me it failed always .
For any parents reading the comments, this is your sign not to put your hands on your kids for any reason whether it be discipline or otherwise. Believe me, they and you will pay for it
Thank you for a lecture.
I am not Bipolar but, I am technically still taking one of the two meds for Epilepsy as somewhat mood stabilizers since I can be triggered by stress which are one used to being Carbemazepine, and what is now still being Lamotrigine. Which while on very strong dosage I can be drowsy as all hell. Not able to focus and function well at times because of it. Rather at home or work and that drowsiness scares the crap out of me because I have to fight to stay awake while doing any activity of any kind and then while on both or either medication. If it rains the drowsiness gets even worst. At one point of my life I was on both and that turned out bad for me into my early adulthood.
I got it all just not diagnosed yet
Im on Mania time. It is bad....but when I get like this I pace around a lot with more than one single thought. Yeah I think someone wanted to sabatoge my job. Its bad because everything was very unprofessional. Talking about it now like this is helping me tho. How do ya know? I was not searching for this on here.
It's hard having this it but it makes me who I am I wouldn't be me without out it. I hope all of you stay strong and don't go off your meds unless you're very very sure and have a safety plan ready. God loves you and he's taken care of us don't be angry with him please because bipolar disorder is actually a blessing & never let someone gas light you we are just as normal as anyone else.
ive found that cannabis has been very helpful for managing my depressive episodes i can sorta process my feelings from an outside perspective without it ive also found that reminding myself constantly that my depressive episode will pass eventually also helps not as much as the weed but still very helpful
Hardest for me is dealing with my husband who is in denial about illness. I truly believe he suffers from this but he refuses to acknowledge it. Definitely he won't seek a diagnosis. It's so hard to deal with him.
I believe i might have this even though i was just diagnosed with depression
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but a psychedelic is that times a thousand. See so again the point is not to achieve some blissful state or to see some cool colors or to travel to some new dimension you can do all those things. That's nice, that's fun. The point is the lessons the insights you get and the meta understanding of how this entire process works because as you're exploring all your different domains you're learning about your own mind. How the mind of God is generating reality and why it's generating it.
I think you’re onto something my guy
@@randellnelson1082 How do you know that death isn't the greatest thing that's ever gonna happen to you. When you actually die you dissolve into an ocean of infinite love. Death is equivalent to infinite love. Death is equivalent to infinite consciousness. Death is equivalent to God. Death is immortality. Death is paradise or heaven. So the biggest mindfuck of life is to discover that death is actually infinite love. Being and not-being, order and disorder, life and death, light and darkness, masculine and feminine, dry and wet, hot and cold, active and passive, life and death, for example, are mutually arising, interdependent, and complementary aspects of one and the same process. Life contains the seed of death; death the Fertile energizing seed of life.
lol. I seen my ex husband screwing a chick in my mind, like a vision. When he came home I told him what he was doing and where he was doing it, he thought the chick called me and confessed because I was so spot on. It was great.
@@jolenewells How do you comunicate so much beauty? It's Incredible. I just look at it and it brings me to tears. Because I'm looking at it and I'm looking at myself. Yeah you've never really seen porn until you've seen it on 5meo DMT. Until you recognize that it's you and that's basically what Infinity is. Sort of like I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you more, I love you more, I love you more. Who can love who more? And whoever can love who more is God. You see that long laundry list of stuff about you that you don't love. God loves all of it. I'm sorry for not loving more, that's the only thing you have to be sorry about. Thank you. Thank You For Love! And at this point you realize that that's it, that's the point. That's the only lesson in life. That's my only job. Is to love. Everything else is idiocy and then what you do is you say I love you. For the first time in your life you say I love you because you really understand what that phrase means and you fall in love with God. But as it throws it out there, it's gentle so he throws it out there but then you say oh I can't love it and then what God will say in return is, it's okay. I love that you are not capable of love. I love that. And when that hits you. That's what fills you with enough love to overcome your resistance to love even that next level thing that you could do. No it can't be love. Of course it's love! what else could it be! It's love! No oh my God this is impossible! Of course it's love how could it be anything else!? How could I be so stupid as to think it's anything else. And God is like of course it's love.

The interesting thing about bipolar is it’s so often associated w women. I know a few men who exhibit these symptoms (I am mot diagnosing). I believe it’s something that’s probably over-diagnosed in women (not from my personal experience it from what I know of other women I’ve known over the years) & chronically under-diagnosed in men.
Lot of men don’t seek mental help because they think its “unmanly”. The gap is huge but its changing as a larger percentage of younger generations are seeking m help
@ yes, this is true. Many are quicker to diagnosis women but I’ve seen the behavior far more in men. It’s written off as male aggression, being “intense”, or “boys will be boys”, substance abuse / misuse, etc. Usually “mood disorders” historically are something that have been quick to be thrown at women - think “hysteria”.
Very well explained!
Reading these comments is just blowing my mind,depression is not a cycle of regular things in life,it's not about one minute I'm fine and then the next minute I feel down it's a combo of things mental illness is real and it's nothing to play around with! Mental disorders stems from having a chemical imbalance that doesn't process things like a normal brain do, it's just as series as cancer or any other disease! And their not demons either that's why God talks about feeling alone,or lonely,sad when your in time of need and so on. I'm not ashamed to say I have Bipolar type 2 it runs in my family,I major depression disorder ptsd,and generalize anxiety disorder from different things that has happened in my life! Living with multiple mental illness's is not fun at all,taking different medicine and having to take them everyday is hard! so if you don't have a mental illness or know someone with one just keep your opinions to yourself
❤❤
Bet you notice too, if you tell people you see a psychiatrist they think you are an ax murderer and start to distance themselves from you. I prefer to stay away from a lot of people. Sick of this crap.
If anti-depressants are no better than placebo, they how can they trigger mania?
Idkk.
But on just about every antidepressant medication label, it warns that the person taking it could develop symptoms such as suicidal ideation/thoughts. I don't think antidepressants are merely a placebo. They definitely do something lol
You are effectively saying how can stimulants cause stimulation
Very clear well done
Very good and very helpful

I am almost 70, and I was just diagnosed as bipolar, last week. I went to this psychiatrist to find out if I am autistic. He said that I am mildly autistic and also bipolar. The autistic part of my diagnosis makes sense to me, but the bipolar part doesn't. He put me on bipolar medication. I am no psychiatrist, so part of me thinks I shouldn't be second guessing a professional, but if I do have symptoms of bipolar disorder that I might not recognize myself, they can't be severe, because I can't remember ever having any severe manic episodes. On occasion, I have been a little happier than usual with a feeling that something fantastic is about to happen, and it almost feels like a high or a rush, but these episodes don't really last all that long and nothing I anticipate ever comes to pass. So, I'm wondering whether it is the doctor who is mistaken, or me who is mistaken.
Growing up I didn’t understand bipolar because my dad has it when he will always have his mood swings it will confuse me but I understand now and my brother has it and I had friends that had it they moods will switch up so quickly
It is deeper than just mood swings, there's way more to this disorder I've been struggling with it for years and sometimes I just wanna give up. It is hard.
I was searching for a video like this because I think I might have it. It could completely be just one of the hysterical thoights I havr because of my anxiaty, but I've been feeling things lately which I don't think are normal.
I'm a teen and I've been struggling with severe anxiaty my whole life, but lately I've been having mood changes very often. For example, yesterday morning I was so depressed my mom forced me to get out of bed and change out of my pijamas because she thought fir sure that if she didn't I.would stay in bed all day and eat nothing, and she's right. Later that afternoon I felt happy and energetic, hungry and talktaive. I even went dancing. Today I am once agaun depressed, I had to go home in the middle of the day because I wanted to cry and eat a lot. I went home and after I ate I felt happy and calm, and now I feel sad again.
I don't know what this is because I did search a lot about bipolar disorder for the book I'm writing and I always see people say that the episodes take a few days, weeks or months, not hours. But I really related to what she said in the video and I think definitly something is not normal. I can't funcion in the daily life, because sometimes school is too boring and I have to get up from my seat and see the outside world, and sometimes I can't even get myself to school becausw I'm too depressed.
If yoy read until here and you have it, could you please tell me if it sounds like it to you or something else? I don't want to worry my parents in case it's just in my head (it makes sense because I always convince myself of things and like I said I have hysterical thoughts, and plus I think I'm at the right age for that) but at the same time I need to find a way ti help myself because this is not ideal
I had depression for months until treated, then years later had mania for months until treatsd, I don't fit into any of the classifications.
I use prescribed alprozolam/xanax when i have episodes.
I don’t enjoy that the medical field put a label on this and then prescribed pills to fix it. I find that all the damage and suffering I’ve endured has no doubt made me a better person, yea I can REALLY hate myself sometimes and am a irritated ass at flick of a switch but I also know that I’m just a little broken and the pain just comes in waves, I know that self-coping will pull me through, I’m just a unimaginably caring person, that is uncomfortable selfish
Love this video, was just wondering if there are any sources/references for the facts?
I think "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition", would help you :)
This doesn’t exactly fit the criteria of your question, but for myself the most informative and detailed source here on youtube is ‘Polar Warriors’. It’s supported by the International Bipolar Foundation. And Rob is just an amazing guy, with an incredible story.
@@davidtiamzon7150 thanks 🙏
Meds and lots of therapy to combat Bi Polar I disorder. Medicine is my first line of defense against this horrible disorder. If you take Valproic Acid try to switch to something less harmful to your liver. Ask your doctor first before making any changes to you med regimen.
I have manic depression it's a living nightmare
Ive found out that once i stop drinking and dry all the way out completely, all this goes away.
Celery juice first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. In 2 weeks you will feel amazing .
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
They heal certain aspects of the disorders true 💯
They healed me from the extreme pains in the head and emotional repressions ..
I'm bipolar and my ex was too and she literally did a b and e then bit and cut open a main artery in her arm .she got put in the psych ward and they gave her electro shock therapy and it was like being with a different person. I felt like they were frying her brain plus they had her on all types of psych meds too ,it was wild
Lost my relationship going to through this she said I didn’t seem like was the same I was always spaced out and shaking uncontrollably it sucks cause I thought i was finally “normal”

How in the world did your marriage work?
Quetiapine helped me alot, the ability to have reliable and routine sleep allowed me to be clearer in knowing when manic/depressive episodes are comming on. With good education and help from phycs, Im able to be self aware enouph to lessen the impacts these 2 opposing forces have on my life. Its never ending but ive found my stability in this routine.
Everyone has highs and lows. I wonder if some diagnosis are incorrect. There may be people misdiagnosed with bipolar
Recently I have been feeling a big mood change, involving this. Sometimes I get very violent for days on end, then I get very sad for days then mad for days then very happy for days, or some days I’m very tired and I won’t get up for even months at a time, and I won’t drink or eat anything, there’s no reason why it’s happening, nothing happened, but one thing went wrong then I get very upset then the next day I just won’t get up, I’ll be basically a mess, and I won’t eat anything. And sometimes, I get very hyper and active like, my brain can’t stop, I get in these states where I’m very focused yet unfocused and sometimes I’m very very unfocused, I can’t look at one thing for 10 seconds, even if it’s the wall or just paper or something I enjoy, I’m not sure what’s wrong, I don’t wanna self diagnose myself cause that’s just horrible, but I don’t think that I can’t continue like this, I’ve gained all of this almost a year ago, and I’m exhausted. Sometimes, I go weeks with feeling okay, then I get very very happy then I just crash. I’m not sure what to do, and I’m not even sure if it’s bipolar disorder.
This sounds like some of the same things my guy goes through. It's very hurtful to a relationship especially when you love them. You say something he doesn't like or don't agree with him he shuts me out blocks my calls won't call for weeks....I try to hang in there with him because we are in our prime of life he tries to hang in there but...once I say what his mine can't handle he shuts down. It's really sad. 😢
My doctor said I might be bipolar but I don’t have manic episodes lasting 7 days. I get mood swings sure but never got he point of endangering myself except for promiscuity.
Bpd?
it may be cyclothymia, i myself have manic epizodes, that lasts around 3-5 days and got diagnosed with cyclothymia and bpd
You should do research on the mania and hypo mania, to see if you are experiencing those symptoms. If the mood wing is just composed of depression (low) and anxiety and frustration (high). then it’s most likely just depression.
i’ve had a psychiatrist tell me I had bipolar disorder due to my insomnia. That didn’t make sense because when i didn’t sleep i didn’t even want to do anything. when i was put on the olazapine, the medication sedated. Because this medication is used for bipolar disorder, she thought I had bipolar disorder. People who use meth also use olazapine to go to sleep, does that mean they have bipolar disorder? absolutely not.
another psychiatrist was fixated on the previous psychiatrists notes on me and decided to put me on lithium. i stayed on it, however i didn’t notice an improvement in either my depression or insomnia, which my psychiatrist told me it would. when i wanted to get off the lithium, my psychiatrist at the time didn’t want to because my mood would fluctuate up and down, going from mania and depression. I was at 900 mg of lithium per day, and my psychiatrist said that if i were to decrease it i would suffer major mood swings. I stopped taking it entirely and didn’t have any mood swings at all. I didn’t see my psychiatrist later on and i kept on saying can i got off the lithium, even though i was already off. my psychiatrist said that i was doing well on it, even though i had stopped taking it 6 months prior.
moral of the story is that some doctors are fixated towards specific things within your treatment and entirely neglect the other aspects. just keep this in mind because doctors can’t actually know what you feel like.
Thank you 🙏 So informative
Bipolar is fckin horrible I think I’m getting to the end stages of a bipolar episode after being forced to be in a panic attack for over 2 weeks straight, still have a little anxiety for no reason certain things that I used to be like bleh whatever about now makes me anxious, it’s the most horrifying feeling in the whole universe. The worst part is the feeling in the back of brain…which makes me panic more…I still feel it a little bit but not nearly as much as the last few days….sleep is impossible, working is dreadful, hunger is nonexistent…and the fear that you are stuck like this only intensifies the panic. The first one I had was 2 years ago and it almost killed me had a gun to my head ready to make the fight or flight mode…the pure unadulterated extremely severe terror I felt end…I hope I’m not the only one. Those saying they get depressed….I would kill all living creatures just to be depressed instead of what it’s really like,
My grandpa & auntie have bipolar disorder.
My grandpa takes medication tho and you really cant tell he even has it. But my aunt dosnt like taking her medication saying she doesn’t feel like herself when she does
I'm Bipolar and he knows it!😊
Could a person have a form of bipolar that’s not so extreme? I go through thoughts of suicide for a few weeks to playing music and joking and just happy and I thought it was bipolar but my highs and lows aren’t as extreme as this video explains.
I think everyone has mood swings. Even more extreme swings can be normal if your a teenager for example. It only becomes a disorder when it prevents you from functioning in your daily life.
Suicidal ideations are not normal and always need to be addressed.
if you need so, please go ask for help to a licensed psychologist. if it's affecting your daily life and burdening you, ask for help.

I don't think it's biplor disorder.
That is a normal human experience dw
That's pretty normal just human experience but still talk with a professional if you're concerned. I got diagnosed at 11 and even back then I had extreme mood cycles. One month I would be super talkative, make friends, play outside, talent shows, etc.. Then the next month or two would be full of crying, self harm, and trying to run away.
