    Never heard of this woman, but now I love her. Great speech, really well spoken and inspiring. Let's all take her advice.

    Is it weird that I've never considered being depressed as being "crazy"?
    I mean what she described is what I've had to deal with since I was in high school. I don't see myself as crazy.

      Mania (or, as it is now called, "manic episodes") is one of two diagnoses that often qualify someone for the insanity defense. (The other is schizophrenia.) Depression rarely results in a verdict of "not guilty by reason of insanity," except in rare cases where the depression is so severe that the person is really not aware of reality.
      So, depression really doesn't count as "crazy." It's the "mania" part of bipolar that counts as crazy.

      She is wrong, that is not crazy. Having emotional issues is not the same as being schizophrenic or SMI. That is what crazy is. A crazy person is someone who is not in touch with reality. Not being able to control your feelings very well is not the same as being crazy.

    Well, depends on how and why you are going crazy.

    This is everything I feel described perfectly from another person. I never thought I'd hear it. I've dealt with depression since I was 11, and haven't been able to find a doctor that is able to understand or help me yet due to living in a rural area. I did the rotating table of pills for many years, but I never got relief from them. I hope someone can give me the intelligence and passion required to help. Around here though, being a doctor is a paying job like any other, where the main goal is to slowly take my money over many years without any real progress.

    I'll tell you my crazy. The way I used to be.
    Depression like you're dead.
    You wish you didn't live inside your head.
    Spiral of repeating thoughts. Being overcome by fears from all your crazy thoughts.
    Emotional breakdowns because you're so overwhelmed.
    Having to get up every day and you could hardly do your school or chores.
    You're brain cannot focus.
    It's a muddy pool.
    But thankfully I really do think god helped me get out of it. I've also been eating better which has seemed to help. People don't believe me when I say I literally had a demon talking out of my mouth. Like I'm crazy and I didn't know what was going on. But trust me, crazy people still know what they're doing. They're just confused. They still know what's going on in reality for the most part.

    I dont want anyone to have to take pills everyday sometimes multiple times a day i think there is something natural in nature for everyproblem and if you cant fix it with mother nature it might not exactly need fixing but a perspective difference

      While it is true many things can be fixed through nature, not everything. Natural is natural, it's imperfect, what we can do with machines is amazing! We can help people better than what mother nature can offer.

    you are not crazy. do never accept the reality you are self proclaimed crazy. someone tells me manic depressive i think they try too hard to be mrntally not healthy. doesnt mean they arent mentally not healthy. its just when you want to be psychotic sounds a little psychotic. pardon the pun. i actually suffer from psychosis and pwoplw around me drive me nuts agreeing all the damn time.

    Woman: "Nice people can't be crazy"
    Me: hold my beer 😎
    Tbh in my opinion ur personality doesn't rly matter like u can become crazy or not if the person choose the difficult way and kept hiding pain which was caused by some reasons in life and trying to help ppl like a therapy when they need 1 would just make them lose their sanity slowly no matter how determined they r cuz of the 2 much stress on the human's brain and 2 much pain on the human's heart it would cause it to be destroyed mentally and would start affecting from the personality then starts showing within their acts which feels like they r a whole complete diff person
    Edit: My spelling ;-;

      I definitely agree anybody can be driven crazy but I think it's specifically with nice people because of how accommodating and forgiving they are you just get tired of dealing with everybody's disrespect and being treated like a punching bag

    This is terrible, mainly because she doesn't understand crazy she understands mental illness and is using the term inappropriately to get attention to what she talks about. Kind of disgusts me when people do that. When people say crazy. They don't mean what she says. They mean some kind of severe psychosis.
