I wish psychology was a subject in schools just like math science etc.., it’s very important for people to know more about mental health issues
The Ink blot I believe mental illness falls more under psychiatry, not psychology
Rick Astley oh ok, thank you for correcting me 👍🏾
@@rickastley885 not true. psychologists also treat mental disorders with therapy. Psychiatrists are different because they can administer and prescribe drugs. Both are fields that study mental illness.
we think we have psych as a subject but in some schools, it's after the 11th year, in our case we have it from the 9th year, we guess?
Some schools actually do teach psychology... Some entire school boards give u a choice to learn it
My sister is bipolar. I once visited her apartment during one of her manic episodes. I walked in the door and there were hundreds of shopping bags full of stuff. She had gone out and maxed out all of her credit cards and then came home and didn't even look at any of the stuff she bought. She hadn't slept in days and was talking a mile a minute. That was when I finally realized how serious bipolar disorder is.
She needs to find a life partner to support her tbf
My bro committed suicide..he was diagnosed as bipolar 😓
@@5tyyu im sorry for your loss i hope he is in a better place now.
My friend commited suicide and he was bipolar for sure . In india there is no proper treatment and he was taking meds for depression....i also didn't knew about this i thought it was depression so i tried to help with all sort of depression releiving videos but when one of the famous actor sushant singh died i researched about this and told him but i suspected some of his symptoms mathcing with bipolar ...but doctors here had no idea finally on march 12 2021 he committed suicide. I saw him in a dream and was asking him that how he can be here when he is already dead ..he said it was all a joke ...i felt relieved. .but to wake up to reality it was disheartening.

The music combined with the visuals is actually terrifying.
Creepy af
Nah it seems cool
I'm not the only one thank god but I could be scared a bit because of watching this at nighttime...
Hehe the music made me uncomfortable
A Heracross i found it relaxing 😂😂
My aunt is 43, shes bipolar, she made some radical decision that left her on the streets with nothing to her name, my whole family went silent, not a peep from anyone, my mom, sister, and I took it upon ourselves to give her a second shot at life, as of now we found her a place to stay and good medication, its really important for them to know that they have someone, even if they’re not your blood, be there.
You and your family are amazing for doing that. I really hope she will find more balance and stabilization in life and everything will work out for you, I for sure know that she'll be grateful for life, and I bet she knows how lucky she is to have you.
Bless you my friend well done
Sorry to read that. But I'm glad this story had a happy ending that you and your sister helped your aunt 🙏🏿
Thank you for what you did for ur aunt. May God bless you and ur aunty feel happy and at peace always. ❤️
May I ask how did you know that she was bipolar i mean like what were the symptoms first?? I don't understand the diagnosis process
😅
The animation is pretty fucking good.
Fried Music
the secret machines
Fried Music I agree
Owen gent is a very briliant illustrator
Fried Music thank you
*I know left*
Moral of the story: The word "bipolar" is not just used as a *social media bio.*
Nor as a meme
That got me bro hahaha.
i certaintl'y would'nt display it as a badge
Lol
Well that's a pretty shallow and specific way to see this knowledge applied to your life
I love how animation ties so perfectly into what he's saying, abstract as it is. It really helps to make this complex topic more approachable, especially for a visual learner like myself. Heheh, pretty too.

ShePudding I especially loved the part where he moved on from the lack of neural pruning to the symptoms including hallucinations and paranoia, whilst showing that trippy optical illusion. Excellent animation. 👏
ShePudding worded so perfectly puddin'
i was medicated for years, i am now med free... 100% drug free... I don't smoke, and i'm financially stable with a stable living environment. it could have been so much easier than what i went through.
I am willing to offer my insight for anyone who wants to understand it better
I am a 16 year old girl with bipolar disorder. I’ve been dealing with this since I was 10, but wasn’t properly medicated until a year ago. Everyday I wake up praying that nothing triggers a depressive or manic episode. This video has definitely made me feel better about who I am and why I shouldn’t give up on myself. My parents are still trying to process that I have this disorder and really does try to help me out but sometimes ends up saying the wrong things which cause me to go into a depressive episode. Although it is hard, I hope to find a person that I can completely let down my guard with and tell them about my disorder. Every time I try to open up to one of my friends, I immediately get judged and they look at me as if I’m a psycho. It really hurts me deeply. I have been hospitalized for months at a time because of how bad my depressive/manic episodes were. I’ve missed just about a whole semester a school but thankfully caught up with the help of my wonderful and caring teachers. I now find myself graduating a year early and heading off to college to become a news reporter. Yes, it takes dedication to cope and find ways to deal with these difficult emotions, but in the long run, everything will be okay.
Same here, I'm mostly trying to prevent being soo depressed or crazy all the time and I can't even tell my bestfriend cause it'll seem soo weird.
can we talk?
i am with bi polar disorder..
not sure if you’ll see this but I’m 27 and I have OCD. I was diagnosed at a very young age as well. you are SO young, and i know it seems like life is impossible to get through right now, but your family and friends are learning about your disorder and how you operate right alongside you. bipolar or not, some people may leave, but the ones that matter will stay, and someday your life will finally feel like it’s in cruise control 😂 just hang in there bc it gets better - much better - and you’ll finally appreciate the perspectives that your experiences have given you.
Just be normal
I get you. I’m 15, so we’re two years apart but still pretty close. It’s hard and when I have a day where I don’t think about dying is already a big deal. Sending love❤
Kudos to the animator. This is brilliant.
musicalintentions bepolar its mean mental health
I know right!
What's kudos?
Kozak Ghost team it means great job
@@princesshuxian3559 www.dumpert.nl
This also goes for OCD too. I really don't like it when people describe themselves as OCD without knowing what they undergo through. It's not that simple...
Katrina Retuya omgg ikr this guy in my class would always say "oh I have bipolar/OCD and I can be normal" it was so cringey
im bipolar asf 😪
I have OCD but I’m not bipolar. It takes up hours of my day so it’s annoying to hear people say they have OCD. People seem to say that a lot.
It is rude how casually say I'm so ocd. My wife's ocd is crippling if she doesn't conform to it she will have a panic attack which if not stopped will hyperventilate and pass out.
I know right! I was on some video and someone commented “I’m so ocd with this” like what is that even supposed to mean?
It's amazing how a few simple shapes and hues can synergise to explain so much. The creative in me is buzzing. Kudos to the educator and the animator for this video!

Jeryll Lee if you are a little into liguistics, you should look up semiology! It's the science on how we understand signs around us (like logos, color codes etc) It's one of the most interesting things I've learned at uni so far!
"bipolar disorder is a medical condition, not a person's fault". that's so true. cause i have bipolar disorder and when i have manics episode i always think that every crazy thing i do is my fault and that im hurting my family and friends. so when i go from a manic episode to a depression episode i think a lot about what i did in the manic episode and its horrible because the guilt becomes sbigger.
idk if i explain myself, sorry for my english hahhsha
I had a friend with bipolar disorder. It shocked me just I had never seen something like the drastic change of state. I wish you all the best.
I've never seen so abstract images make so much sense
Likes and no comments
Easier than honors geometry
so much beautiful doesn't it
Always get attracted by abstract images as they have much meaning than you guess and pictures.
This is why Ted is so special .
Combining animation with khowledge to make learning easier.
I think the word bipolar is thrown around thoughtlessly too much, defining our sudden change in emotions
burningdonut agreed
Same with OCD as slang for being overly tidy or organized
Same with ocd and depression it’s tiring to hear people use these words inappropriately
Is there a link between bi polar and infj and infp types..i wonder..
Mike dvs is this just u asking it or have u read on about this before? Curious to know too
I have a girlfriend with bipolar disorder, and I use this video regularly along with others to educate myself on the medical condition, so that I can use the proper words and emotions to help her whenever she has manic episodes. Even though I myself have autism, and finding the right words to say is difficult, I believe educating myself on bipolar disorder may be the step in the right direction. Thank you so much for this video.
You have a good heart
Carefully, he’s a hero!
You’re a hero

could you give more recommendations if you find? on how to help and deal with it properly, i don't have any idea how it goes
I was diagnosed Bipolar 2 back in the year 2000, I am now 65. Medication and some talk therapy have helped me to do well. I have acquired many tools over the years to maintain good mental health. Thank you for this simple and informative video.
I hope you are doing well!

I think im bipolar because i have like all of these symptoms.
If I tell my friends about this, they would be like "yeah I definitely have that" :/
Then ask them to watch brain on fire movie
some of them may very well have it.
Im caretaking a sibling who is bipolar and Schizophrenic.. Called a Mixed Psychotic disorder. I sometimes wish God had given me death instead of this life .Everyday is a challenge and a fight for survival.. One thing No videos about BP explain is how much Fighting, Quarelling and hours of abuse these people do to their loved once when they are Hyper Manic .. My sister spent all her savings in months and lost her job. In the last 7 years she had had 1 Hyper Manic episode that lasted 1.5 years, 1 Mixed psychotic episode and prolonged depression and before that 3 episodes of actue psychosis and paranoia .. My father was also Bipolar and alcoholic he died and my mother is uneducted .. For Some people god decides to be a Tormentor than an Angel 🙂 Your friends have no idea how much people with Bipolar and their loved once suffer .. I have seen my father being drunk and tearing money apart in arrogance while fighting while my mother struggled to place 2 meals on the table ...

My youngest daughter was diagnosed when she was 23 after giving birth to her 1st child. She struggled along for 18mths, thinking to herself she was a bad mum, her little girl would be taken away, she was crying one minute then over excited the nxt.. She sought help from her GP who referred her for more in depth diagnosis. She's on meds to help balance her emotions out, but she still feels like she is fighting her own demons that only she knows about. But at least she got the help & we as a family support her all the way with so much to ease her anxiety..
WHY would you force another life into this world suffering from such a crippling and debilitating illness? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. Get help and better yet get sterilized.
Mental conditions are so misunderstood. We all need to educate ourselves.
Nadiya Nanoha i agree with you
true. some people even mistake sadness as depression, which is a very serious illness.
I agree it's like when someone calls a person autistic without knowing what it means
Kawaii Doughnut
I would say people think being sad for a time for a good reason is the same as being sad for years.
I'm so confused everyday
I'm still determined even thou I have mental disorder.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder four years ago. My family and close friends were extremely supportive (I am very lucky,) and I was hospitalized for a few months while they calibrated my medication. Now I have not had a manic or depressive episode in the last three years and am only taking small dosages of Abilify as treatment. I had to graduate very late from university and am still looking for a job, but I know I will get hired eventually and live as a fully functioning member of society. I hope anyone else with bipolar never give up and hang in there.
Great job!
@@AA123TD damn! 5 kids alone??? The father or fathers didn't want to help you?
Hi JWL. I wish you the best of luck and good fortune in life. You will find a good job, I'm sure. I have a very dear and very talented colleague, who is bipolar.
My family blacklisted me
Thank u
my mom has bipolar type 2. Im 13 so ive been trying to learn about it to help her. This helped me understand lot thank u
good luck :)
That's really awesome of you. My dad has bipolar and I know that when I was younger and didn't understand that, it was sometimes hard to understand the changes in mood he would experience. I also have bipolar disorder and I can say that both from my childhood with my dad and my own personal experience that sometimes bipolar disorder doesn't make any sense even to the person experiencing it and sometimes all you can do for your loved one is to keep being there for them, and to encourage them to keep up with their treatment plan. I hope you and your mom are doing well.
I live with BP II as well. It's admirable that you're researching the topic to help your mother. Just being there for her will make a world of difference. Be patient, don't take anything said or done during hypomania personally, and show love & support (which it sounds like you're doing already.) I wish you and your mom the best, Milo. Thanks for being an ally.
best thing to do is be there as much or as little as she needs on her bad days and on those days try and stay ahead on things that your mom would tell you to do this alone is a huge help and will bring her anxiousness down
I'm 41 years old and my 75 years old father is bipolar II. He was finally diagnosed when I was 12 years old.
I agree with what others had said here, but I'm going to add something that i hope no one takes personal:
There is going to be some moments when things get rough. Do not be afraid to step aside and protect yourself. Understanding them is important but if you are not ok it's going to be difficult to help them when they need it.
I wish you the best ❤️
I was diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar mania, and depression when I was 17. I'm 22 now, and never really understood it until I saw this video a couple years ago. I rewatch it sometimes and it helps being able to understand
This actually brought tears to my eyes. I feel so understood watching this.

I came here after my younger brother’s recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Thank you for helping me understand what he’s going through better!
Eliza Schuyler you’re a good sister for educating yourself and trying to understand his struggles; i don’t tell people that i have bipolar disorder in fear that they won’t understand and will invalidate what i go through so your brother is lucky to have a sibling like you:)
my best friend was recently diagnosed and it's been a rollercoaster so here I am learning about it so I can understand whats happening in her head a bit better
Hi Eliza, May God bless your brother
Don't try and tell him you know what's best for him, offer it more so as advice or consulship, and keep in mind his emotions are much more similar to pushing a rock up a hill you'll never be able to reach the top of, than they are similar to yours(assuming you don't have mental health issues correct me if I'm wrong) so his logic may not always make sense to you about why and how he feels that way. You're a good sister, wish I had siblings like you
As someone that has bipolar 2, I can tell you that I always look forward to the next time I get manic/hypomanic because it’s the only thing that brings me out of my depression.
Bu- wuh- huh?
HOW!?
it feels good in a manic episode
but only to you not to anyone thats close
because they know that you can cause anyone or yourself a lot of harm
@@AnkurSingh-bc3jd he means he's always depressed all the time. It's the only time he's not depressed.
@@loopymomy2532 if i am not wrong ur depression gets worse after the mania in bp2
@@AnkurSingh-bc3jd I can confirm this as my therapist, the expert in bipolar disorders in his office, told me when I said a pretty similar thing. I totally understand how you feel though, it can be rough. I’ve finally found a solid medication that works for me and because of that and some extra willpower, I’m able to hover around balance more often. Not always, but it’s better.
My sister has bipolar and she was diagnosed about 12 years ago when she was 18 I guess. Her doctor at the time didnt believe she could study further so told my mom to find some simple occupations for my sister, my sister recently finished her thesis and master on child development. Its sad how even doctors dont understand that bipolar doesnt mean someone's life is over. Due to her being ill since I was little, I never got to create a strong bond with her and I feel terrible about it everyday. I hope I can force myself to spend more time with her and create a strong bond, I hope its not too late. I want to be there for my only sister. Those who have bipolar disorder and those who live or closely deal with people who do, hang in there folks.
as someone with a bipolar loved one, this helps me relax about helping them. thanks
As a person with bipolar disorder, seeing friends/family actively involved in understanding and supporting those suffering from bipolar disorder means a lot. The only reason I'm here today is because of my family's unconditional and overwhelming love has kept me sane when I needed it most. Best wishes to both you and the person who is very fortunate to have such a caring friend.
CheezitsChrist thanks. We luckily live in a region that actually has good mental health care.
I'm sorry for what you're going through :(
I'm currently in love with a girl with bipolar
Tessa Cares don't worry though many make a joke of you and if this seems like pity talk, for me I just hope the best comes for you I just think you should believe
Same, im in love with a girl that has bipolar & man let me tell you, I'm so glad I watched this. If I didn't, I would broke off an engagement & just not get married & just live lonely rather that dealing with that. Now that i have watched and understand what to do, i change my mind...about everything.
Smh those people who put "Bipolar" in their Instagram bios without really knowing what it is and showing it off like its some award...
Finn Ross never saw someone do that
Zescio it happens a lot, more so on sites like Tumblr
Finn Ross Bipolar is like not knowing who you are or what to think and what you should think and how to think. It's hell in your mind you can't get rid of.
I do not think that bipolar people would confess to having this problem so easy and even write on their social media. They must be very brave.
Lol Tumblr is notorious for this. They do the same Borderline Personality Disorder.
Like..... nah, you don't. Sit down.
After years of therapy and different medications my psychiatrist and I found the right recipe so I can manage my condition. The key for me was when I discovered Stoicism and being exposed to Buddhist thought on trips to Thailand. The two keep me grounded and put life in a better perspective. I have gone over 4 years now without any depression and enjoy a slightly elevated mood which suits my creativity and personality. It’s all about acceptance. Love yourself. ❤️
You should maybe give meditation a try. Really helped me a lot
It's kinda of scary if you live in a family with a history of bipolar disorder like me. Every generation plays the waiting game to see how long it takes for the disorder to appear, or even if it will. You pray you got good genes from your other parent while you watch the impact the disorder has on the lives of your parents, grandparents, uncles,aunts, and cousins about your age.
I think I have this and I am going to the doctor finally to get diagnosed and if I do I would highly think about getting a vasectomy because I don't want any children of mine to suffer for what I go through, I can adopt in the future.
I know this sounds bad, but most professionals agree that bipolar people should not have children. They do not have the emotional stability that children need to thrive. However, if you’re bipolar and really want kids I suggest adopting instead. If you keep passing on your family’s bipolar genes it will just cause never ending suffering.
Seriously; if you are bipolar and want kids or aren't sure about it, read this. www.bphope.com/blog/i-am-bipolar-should-i-have-children/

My best friend and I both do, and we're both bîsexual and OCD. LOL we do everything together, my number one advice is if they're in a state of depression do something rapid and something that draws their attention away, I'm a thrill seeker but idk about your friend, it's just what helps me. Good luck
FOBSESSED GURL Sounds like you met your BFF, I'd avoid a relationship(Like attack helicopter + attack helicopter sorta relationship) though, it would probably get really messy xD
Can you really call "friend" someone who isn't interested in understanding you (their supposed friend)?
hoda no entiendo pueden traducir al español.
I have bipolarism and I honestly feel depressed when I remember that my friend has to try and cheer me up. I've only got one friend left because of my violent behaviour, which makes me feel even worse. I remember crying, and then I started to laugh manically. I don't really wanna say the rest tho
Did anyone notice at around 2:55 the animator sneaked an illusion into the animation?
I didn't notice that. Thanks!
Xcyiterr VII ya
Yes
There were many illusions shown in the video like the geometric ones and also the perspective ones like the stairs that became a straight line
yea
Bipolar disorder is a medical condition , not a person's fault or their identity, I really felt that 🤧😭especially when people start treating you like an outcast, getting acceptance and empathy from family and friends does makes things much better.
😇
Tell that to Asian parents and they will smack the stupidity out of you. Bipolar doesn't exist in Asia. When I was a child, I suffered from lactose intolerance especially in the morning (Which I found out only when I was 30+ years old). Mom would prepare me drinks with milk each morning. the gastro pain would ensue when I got to school. It was really bad. Pain was awful. We didn't know the existence of lactose intolerance back then (1980s). I tried to pour the milk filled drinks into the basin in several occasion and was caught by either elder siblings and mom, I ended up getting punished, like getting canned or smacked until I cried. Cause telling parents I had stomach ache after consuming milk wasn't an option since other siblings had no such issue. it all depends on your luck where you are born.
@@ophyt2830 I'm sorry to hear that. At least you don't have to drink milk anymore..
@@ophyt2830 I'm so very sorry you had to go through that. That treatment is considered abuse of ignorance and can trigger mental and emotional disorders. Just think in the 1950s children were to be seen and not heard or else they got hit.
I'm so glad we are learning more about mental health💜
As someone with ocd I fully agree. Where I live if I ever tell about my ocd to my parents, they will tell me I am a mental person and instead of helping me, they will call me names about that and would be more concerned about the fact that I am insane rather than helping. Man Asia really sucks 😔
Another hardship of bipolar disorder: The tendency to self-medicate. It might be tough, but sobriety is one of the best mechanisms to keep the disorder under control.
I don't know if I have bipolar disorder but I am going through some problems like people not understanding me esp family and stuff.I always love psychology and I think that I am make my condition better by controlling my way of thinking it's helps a lottt but is very hard to do when no one supports u
you're so right. being depressed for months or what seems like years at a time, would make anybody use.
People often self medicate for years before getting any help. It’s very hard to be with your own thoughts as anything mind numbing can give you an instant relief. You have to be very strong and start taking care of yourself with right medication(if needed at least for the interval),exercise,diet and helpful tools to help you when times get tough. Good breathing techniques are very important. :)
@@Jacks_here 100%. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt
@@juensusan7476 very difficult. I can recommend going to support groups. There I found people that understand and be there for you during the tough times. Give a try :)
My mom was clinically diagnosed with bipolar and she was so hard to deal with. I had restless night because every night she's having the manic attack and she's screaming all over the house. It was bipolar 2 and she's very anxious everyday. Her bipolar was so extreme that it had even caused me depression. But I believed that she will be okay someday and through all of my hardships understanding her. Talking to her everyday so that she won't feel alone and lonely, she improved and I'm now happy to broadcast how happy I'am to see my mom being like a normal mom now. ❤
I’m glad you and your mom are better, but from experience I’d suggest you stay on top of your mental health also because I myself have a parent that has several diagnoses and I’m the only child so I grew up very fast because I had taken care of my mom at such a young age now I have Bipolar 2(more depressed than manic) which developed over the years. By all means continue to love and care for your mom but please take care of yourself also🦋🦋
Awww thanks so much for being such a nice daughter
Wow. I am bipolar. This was so positive. Thank you.
I live with BP II as well. Thanks for being there for your mom. You don't know how much that simple act helps when we're dealing with an episode. You're good people
Amazing daugther
I have a bipolar disorder but I will embrace it and survive.
I am so proud of you and i can imagine how challenging can be but you‘re such a strong person❤️
Thank you for shedding light on Bipolar Disorder. I have type 2 and it’s a costly thing to keep under control, and most people have no idea what it entails.
I am *managing* my symptoms, not “controlling” them. I don’t say that to bum anyone. I simply don’t want anyone to get an idilic idea about treatment.
Actually, managing the symptoms is the best way to the cure, even if it is really painful. That's because BD isn't a part of yourself that needs to be controlled, but a disease that needs to be treated day after day. Severe BD sometimes takes a really long time to get treated, but there are some particular treatments that are more efficient (as in every disorder). Don't ever stop working on yourself.
Helen Sarkisian thank you for saying that. I am bipolar.
Honestly that's for physical conditions too. Someone with heart disorders/damage will most likely not go back to 100% function.
But there are people out there with heart histories who are living wonderful lives due to their management.
Cure is nothing. Managing is everything.
Yah, Ppl act like the meds will kind of cure you, but it actually just makes easy to understand that you're not ok and you have a bit of strength to fight it, but thats it
I feel the exact same way!
The most depressing thing is: people around you are not aware of the fact you are ill. They thought you are just lack of sleep or just think too much. It's deadly especially when you don't have loved ones at all,you have to struggle alone till last breath.
Can you please do a video on Borderline personality disorder or personality disorders in general?
My step sister has BPD. It can be really hard to live with her.
Rockingpox227
why does she have it?
now now. lets try to be kind to each other. i am a former patient and I went rogue and rejected all medications. It took 30 institutions, so much wasted taxpayer money, and alot more. i discuss on my channel some of what i went through. there are many factors.
Her life story is probably the worst of anyone I've ever met.
well mine has been quite miserable too... i'm willing to say i've probably had it far harder than most in my age group... but i'm humble enough to realize... that when i say that, its only because i'm living through my perspective
Every part of this video is worthy as a phone wallpaper
The part "the family and friends acceptance" made me cry a lot,so many times I heard "you are dramatic" or "you are crazy,what's your problem?" And people getting away from me when they didn't know it must hurt my feelings,I put it on my mind and I tried to -- or I just fell on my bed and I didn't even get awake,crying and thinking about what I have and if the world really needs for my presence or even if it's better mine disappearing of the existence...I am drinking medicine,I'm trying to get better but the people are so incomprehensive,their judgement will never help me,but they do it because they wanna see my feelings burning just for fun...or even revenge on shits I did made 3 years before:/ and my mom is now,even being a person which has depression,she cannot comprehend what am I feeling and start making comparisons between me and others people.
I'm experiencing similar situation. And having a hard time trying to describe what I'm feeling...it's all senseless and sensitive at once... to be slighted off from the world in such a fragile state...HOWEVER PERSON ACTS IN THIS STATE SHOULDN'T BE CALLED CRAZY OR UNREASONABLE...it is the effect of a progressive cause which have far-seated roots.
Dont be friends you dont wanna be. Dont talk to people you dont want to. You clme to life once live it freely man.
me too, i m coming from a place where people see mental ilnesses as something unreal and taboo, people with that conditions are complete freaks to them, they dont want want to hear about it
The hardest part is explaining that those were not you and whatever you did and said were not within your control.
Remember one thing ur NOT useless and we want you! I hope you have a great life ahead
I was diagnosed with bipolar back when it was called manic-depressive disorder. Through the years, I've been on so many meds. When I was young, my manic episodes were ridiculous. Back then I would get married, get divorced, by a new car, buy a new house, go out drinking with people I barely knew, paint my whole house, stay up for days, start fights. I still have the racing thoughts and recklessness, but not as bad. The depression episodes weren't as bad as they are now. Now, I can't hardly dig my way out the hole. I know the signs and kind of head them off at the pass, so to speak. I look back on my life and there's so many regrets for some of the things that I've done. It seems like all of them were during one of my manic episodes. I can't imagine how my life would have turned out without the meds to take the edge off. Wow.
2:40 the transition from neural pathways to a Hermann grid is just flawless, it ties with the narration and creates cognitive disconnect without ever breaking the spell of the story being told. Ted ed animators are genuinely on a different level

I have this and its really hard to describe to someone what it feels like, feeling good all day you talk to people you seem real happy then suddenly the all time low where I shut things down and feel like I shouldn't belong. Long feelings of negativity. You can fake a voice but you cant fake a face.
As a major in psychology it gave me a big smile when he said that each person receives its own treatment, as I strongly believe that each person has its way to be treated and not to be resumed to pills.
I loved that video and I address my big support to every person struggling with bipolar disorder.
Disappointingly typical. Typical definition of psychosis, typical emphasis on dopamine hypothesis, typical electro conclusive therapy review, typical de-emphasis on social & environmental causes, typical emphasis on ‘careful treatment’ that minimizes treatment induced harm: I’m disappointed, I thought TED talks were supposed to be open-minded, cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary, with deep questions and nuanced answers. This is a mass-produced status quo only relevant for mass consumption.
sorry to bother you but is your profile picture are Saruhiko?

I have been diagnosed as bp1 months ago and this info is spot on. Makes a grown man cry. Now I notice my 15yo son has the traits😢
2019 was the year I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, it was a moment of clarity for me as I finally understood why I was the way I was in my high school years ranging from manic to angry outbursts left and right but after learning about it that year, I've done what I could to improve upon it. Sure there's quirks here and there but I've managed to take some medication to get my life in order
perks would only be not getting tired or atleast feel like it, worst for bipolar to first trigger in high school sadly it did for me too back at 2017, the mood swings are like very tens of minutes and worst is that i easily get irritated, also horrible was that i lost my sense of time
i think getting mental support from ones family helps the most, i did crazy things back then... as far as messaging strangers within our neighborhood even asking for a fight and such...
Same here. When being diagnosed and learned of the effects I suddenly realised why I did such f*cked up things that I did when I was younger, all the pieces fell into place. It's still mostly difficult to be functional but when you are conscious about the imbalances in your brain it's much easier to control them and not act on them so much as before. I feel the video did not actually give justice to all the possible effects of manic episodes.
The younger someone is, the more difficult it is to diagnose.
People might think that you're just a strange kid or struggling with going through puberty.
It is a relief to find that it's an illness and it's treatable (to an extent)
I'm glad you've got a grip on it somewhat.
I've still got a long way to go.
How do you get diagnosed?
This video's animation needs an award or something like that. Such a brilliant and creative approach to this abstract conception.

I didn't notice it until you told so
Got bipolar 2, diagnosed around 2000. Now on carbamazepine and olanzapine, no alcohol or caffeine, regular exercise and meditation. Held down this job for over a decade now, well paid for the first time in my life. All is good. 😁
The visual at 3:00 is perfect. It’s a classic illusion but the way it makes your eyes dart around the screen lets you feel an albeit very small version of the symptoms being talked about letting you relate to it a deeper level. Incredible

Bipolar II, for those who are wondering, aren’t “less severe”, it’s a common misconception.
Bipolar II, although it’s hypomania(less severe) instead of mania(more severe), it has longer periods of depression that makes up for it.
But then again, I’m no medical professional so just ignore me if you want.
No, you're right. I have bipolar 1 disorder, but I've met people with bipolar 2 disorder whose lives were just as interfered with by their mental health as mine is. Both can be debilitating and are very stressful.
That's a really really good point. Thank you for sharing.
yes you’re right . I have bipolar II and I just have long depressive episodes
. :)
I have bipolar 2 disorder & you're right.
Maybe it can be simplified like so, mania's hurdle is more on the people around and hypomania's hurdle is more on the struggle with oneself. The people around you are important for your inner self and your inner self is important for the people around you.
I'm bipolar and proud of it. I take my medication as prescribed and I manage it well. I've held a steady job. I'll admit my hardest weakness is the dark thoughts but I'm a workaholic until I shower and go to sleep. I keep busy as much as possible so I'm not alone with my thoughts.
I am proud too. You got to be proud of what you are, especially when you are somebody special. Being bipolar is hard but it is maybee a richness and it means maybee something in this crazy world

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 14. Typically people go undiagnosed for several years after they have their first experience with bipolar and some people even get the wrong diagnosis. It is common to have your first episode during puberty, however some people don't have an episode until they are in their early 20's.
I have been through several episodes and went to psychiactric care multiple times because of manic episodes running out of hand. The hardest part of my life has been growing up in my teen years with explosive manic episodes every few years in between. Several friendships were lost during those years simply because teens don't understand eachother that well and you come off as a scary person when manic. I'm 24 now and been through different medication - luckily I have found something that seems to balance my life. Without that it would be such a miserable experience. I hope this message reaches other people who might go through the same experience as me. Just know that if you fight long enough, you will find a way to cope with your disorder. You can always make new friends and I have been fortunate enough to find people who understand what I am dealing with and know that life can be tough sometimes. If you have the courage, share your experience with people you trust... They will likely understand and it won't be hard to explain yourself when life is tough on you. I hope we can break this stigma as a lot of people are fighting mental demons. Be brave and don't give up.
Truly amazing keep it up we the people support you!
Wanted to say I was the same age when I was diagnosed. Reading about someone who went through a similar experience at the same age in an odd way made me feel a bit less alone.
@@ravengreenwold3258 Hope you are doing better
@@runeboii I'm doing a lot better. Luckily some parts got easier to deal with a bit as I was older and could try a few different medicines with less worries about sideeffects (I'm 27 now and thriving)
Thank you for sharing. I relate to a lot of this
I was diagnosed with bipolar depression last month. I tried fixing myself with meditation, yoga, and supplements. Until I realized I couldn’t live like this anymore and I was tired of always feeling tired. When I got the diagnoses I couldn’t stop crying. I never really talked about my mental health with my family because I didn’t think anyone would believe me. I had built such a mask up for myself that some family didn’t believe it when I said it because I was highly functional. But people don’t know that your good days are exhausting. Your manic days make you feel unstoppable and your depression makes you feel hopeless. I am so grateful I reached out for help because I know it’s not my fault and I can feel better.
Hey 👋🏽

I'm glad you reached out too. I was diagnosed a number of years ago now and getting that help was the difference between day and night. People who really care about you will be supportive. I wish you all the best 😸
This video could NOT have come at a better point in my life! I was diagnosed with bipolar about 5 years ago (16 yrs old). Over time, I have figured out how to manage through the mix of various medications and recognizing my symptoms and knowing what helps me through episodes. I still have them, but I'm relatively well balanced.
However, my new boyfriends parents were pretty concerned when they found out I was bipolar, and I didn't know a good way to explain it to them or show what it REALLY means. This video is absolutely fantastic, sums up my experience almost to a T, and has incredibly calming but insightful visuals to match.
Thank you so much for this, it really means the world to finally have a resource that has all the facts without making it sound horrifying.
You need to build a toolbox of coping mechanisms. If you really don't want medication, you need to start to be aware of your moods. Even a 10% shift in mood can mean that you are about to go the other way (either up or down) and you can prepare for that. When I am really depressed, I take L-Tyrosine (1g in the morning or 2g if it's really bad) and that really helps me to get through the day by increasing dopamine levels naturally. The downside of L-Tyrosine is that if you eat meat or eggs or dairy with it, it can decrease in efficacy, so bad news if you eat meat but I recommend going vegetarian anyway. You can also use 5HTP, which is a natural way to increase serotonin.
It's important that you eat healthy (less meat and dairy, less sugar and junk food, more fruit and veg and wholegrains) and exercise.
It's also important to have good mental strategies in place. There's a book called The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane which (even though it's about charisma) has some great mental strategies to help you. Being aware of how you are feeling is good, so you can step back and think "Even though my mood is telling me to do this, is it really a good idea?" When you are on the up, try to channel the energy into something productive, i.e. a hobby that you enjoy or a project that you're doing. Have a good support network of friends and family also.
It is very possible to self-manage this (and medications make you dependent on them, plus they have side effects. I have bipolar 2 and I'm dependent on Seroquel now, I hate it).
What I would also say is that being bipolar is like having your own personal internal weather. Either the sun is shining (and you're up) or it's raining (and you're down). Remember that just because it might be raining now doesn't mean that it will rain forever. The rain has to stop eventually.
You also have to be very determined. When you have bipolar or any mental issue, life becomes an endurance race. You don't get days off. You need to be constantly fighting it. But it will make you a stronger and healthier person. It might be the case that most of your days will be bad (down) days, but this just means that you appreciate the good (up) days much more. The bottom line is that you must believe deep down that if you keep going on this endurance race, you will win something great somewhere further down the line. You must keep going, no matter what. It's hard to live with but it's entirely possible.
What I find helps as well is a book called Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant. It's a very short book but I find that if I do what's in that book (say to myself "I love myself and I'm not going to allow myself to feel this terrible"), I feel much better. It might sound stupid and unbelievable but it works. You can have more control over yourself than you think. I have also been reading The Saboteur Within by Matt Hudson and that's really helping me too.
Good luck and I'm sure you'll find more strategies along the way.
I'm glad that you're well-balanced :)
+Nia Thompson Hey I don't know what kind of help you're seeking for but I'm here for you :)
I don't mean to be intrusive or scary, but if you are using lithium I really recommend having your thyroid functions checked regularly. In a small percentage of users it can cause (temporary) thyroid problems. In my country it is mandatory that Lithium users have their thyroid functions checked regularly, but sometimes it goed wrong. A person very close to me got temporary thyroid problems due to it and it was a very scary time for them and all their loved ones. I don't wish the same to you.
Medications ARE needed.
I have bipolar 2 and this was an excellent presentation. My own psychological care provider has difficulty expressing to me what it does. Please keep up the good work. I was undiagnosed for 30 years and with antipsychotic and antiseizuure medications, my life is so much better.
Здравствуйте. Вы имели страх приема лекарств?
Living with someone with bipolar disorder can be challenging enough. One can only imagine how rough it can be for the one suffering from it.
My girlfriend was diagnosed with bipolar disorder some 5 years ago, and she's responding well to her medication.
Hate It my mother It and has ruined the early years of my life
I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and have learnt to live with the condition pretty effectively. Managing sleep, exercise and personal relationships carefully are key for me!
The seriousness can vary a lot between people. You're lucky you are able to manage it.
I thought it was my identity and personality, until I started taking medication
I was surprised that that wasn't me, I thought my ups and downs was because of how I think.. I was blown away!! Now I KNOW IT WASN'T MY FAULT!! what a relief
What medication are you taking? Does it recquire a psychiatrist to get a medication?
@@jeinyyy8466 probably if the person was diagnosed with BAD, then they must have been prescribed a mood stabliser like lithium . and yes you need a apsychiatrist consultation to get it
both my brother and father have bipolar disorder. This has helped a lot in understanding them as people and also processing the whole thing in general. Thanks : )
just to add to this brilliant video, lithium is actually old type of meds to treat bipolar and as mentioned, mood stabilizers are much more commonly prescribed. Also what's different with depression is that the elation/manic phase is more dangerous as it can involve psychotic events such as delusions and hearing voices.
annabelle7123 ok so im sure im bipolar but im very scared about the thing u said in the end..do bipolar ppl hear voices? ive heard faint whispering close to my ears when nobody was there about 3 days ago..im rly scared im so scared
gigglyberry69 If you feel like you are bipolar, you should go seek help, because even if you don’t end up having bipolar disorder you still sound like you need help. If your not old enough to make an appointment with a psychiatrist or therapist, tell your parents what you’re feeling and if it’s making you scared etc. If your parents don’t believe you for whatever reason, talk to a counsellor or teacher at school. Therapy and psychiatrists can be expensive, but depending on where you live you can maybe go to a doctor? Google what’s in your area first, hope this helps!
I've got derealization/depersonalization disorder so i can't get any such disorder like mania , bpd or schizophernia since i got no feelings because of dr/dpd
I hate when my parents call me bipolar, first of all you put me in bad moods, and second of all, ARE YOU A PSYCHIATRIST?!? No so please stop calling me bipolar the mood swings I have are nothing compared to what people with ACTUAL bipolar disorders experience.
I just got recently diagnosed with Bipolar II. At first, I was in disbelief. But upon contemplation, I realized that I do have brief moments of impulsivity, irritability, and irrationality. It sucks because you get misunderstood all the time. Along with being more depressive than hypomanic, I am greatly suicidal as well. I just wish we'd find the right medications and receive the right approach of psychotherapy for me. I have the same wish for all of you who suffer from mental illness(es). I believe we truly deserve a better shot in life.
I have bipolar 2 as well. Watch out your sleeping pattern. Bipolar depression makes me fatigue and irritable. Of course, suicidal if it is not managed well. The whole symptoms just go up 10x if I dont sleep from 8pm til 530am. Im no longer medicated to preserve liver functions. But bipolar is progressive, so might have to resume one day.
Well lithium es the Best option. And it takes a long time for me 2 years to feel the full positivo effects on me so if they give you but it seams not working just wait a lot and you'll see. Sertraline is a good antidepressant and quetiapine in low dosis is good for anxiety. Ask your doctor.
@@pambutterflyhigh Recently I had three months of depression and one night, as if by divine intervention, it disappeared. Can this be considered bipolar disorder?
@@nikdi8280 sounds like major depressive disorder which use to be called Bipolar. So looks very similar.
@@nikdi8280 that pattern should be repetitive in time, if you continue oscilating between depression and normality could be bipolar 2 disorder or if your oscilations change between depression and exaltation would be bipolar 1 disorder but only in patterns during long piriods of time. If it happended just 1 time maybe you were suffering a common low mood piriod, that's normal, if you have doubts maybe consulting a psiquitrist would help to clarify.

@@lilnate23 it isn't. Comorbidity is actually common with Bipolar. I also suffer BPD along with mine. Most severe psychiatric disorders are often coupled with one or more.
My uncle was schizophrenic & he believed God spoke to him. Threw himself in a lake during the winter & everything because he says God told him to. Once he got better though, he turned that religious hallucination into something useful & went to college to study religion. Died in his sleep last year, but up until his death he took his meds, he was stable & productive & possibly one of the smartest people I ever underestimated in my life. Shout out to your Uncle, to him it made sense to do that.
Boga Sixtyeight my uncle is the same sadly he has been in and out of jail for the past 6 years even after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder

I do have bipolar disorder (It runs in my Dad side HEAVILY and so my parents and psychiatrist weren’t surprised) and one thing I’ve noticed is that learning about it your own disorders REALLY helps, for example, one of the hardest thing for me was seeing when I was either in a manic, mixed, or depressive episode, because if anyone know one key factor in officially diagnosing which Bipolar it is, is the duration and severity of the episodes. I at first confused a lot of my depressive episodes with my mixed ones, but learning that 1. Restlessness is not just a manic symptom, 2. You can have bits of manic in an overall depressive episode (For some reason my enthusiasm and energy levels switch at 9:30pm depending on which episode I’m in) and many more. Doing this really helped when telling my psychiatrist when my episodes had happened and how long they were. NEVER diagnose yourself and assume disorders, that is the psychiatrist job, but do learn about your disorder, either through and OFFICIAL site or your psychiatrist, as doing so helps not only you, but the psychiatrist combat this problem. (PS don’t assume you know more than the psychiatrist though, bipolar is a very elusive disorder so don’t make decisions that go against your psychiatrist cause you “saw something on the internet”
any chance something is triggering you at 9:30pm? like blood sugar levels changing, social interaction, or some part of your routine? cause that part stands out as a bit odd to be just from bipolar disorder.
@@lithiumkid i cant speak for op but sometimes my mood swings also start at night. i have bipolar II and once the sun sets its either a crying episode or i get manic and stay up till the next day.
i’m haven’t been diagnosed as bipolar but i have suspicions i may be. i was diagnosed with adhd at a young age and deal with some pretty bad depressive episodes, but as i learn more about what bpd is, i think my “adhd” might just be manic episodes… i think it’s so interesting that you mention you switch right at 9:30 because i will always tell people that 4pm and later are my “gloomy hours”. glad to know i’m not the only one…
When I'm depressed, it's hardest at night too. Many times I spent crying all night, but it will stop when the dawn comes up.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and never really experienced what mania is like until I was put on an antidepressant (Lexapro) that caused me to go into what is called a "mixed state," an extremely strong combination of mania and depression at the same time. To this day, it's the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. I was all over the place and couldn't sleep, I was so agitated and delirious, and I kept having scary thoughts about hurting myself. I almost lost my job and I estimated I had 1-2 days left before I ended up in impatient treatment at a hospital. Fortunately I got off the medication in time and I slept for a week, after that my mixed state was gone
I prefer the term "agitated mania," personally. But I agree with your assessment that a mixed state is THE WORST. In my experience, it has served as the most destructive of my bipolar extremes.

I have bipolar disorder type 2, which made my childhood so difficult. I was constantly diagnosed with major depressive disorder, but it never fully covered the moments when I was productive and felt good. I was asked all the time about why I “was just fine last week,” but now I was all of a sudden struggling. It’s incredibly lonely to be surrounded by people who don’t understand you and are frustrated with you. I didn’t actually realize and get the diagnosis until the summer of 2020. Everything started to click with all the time I had alone. I knew my birth mom had bipolar disorder, but I never attributed it to my behavior. It was hard to grapple with and understand that all the stigmas around being bipolar were incorrect. Many people don’t realize that bipolar disorder is classified as a disability. Help is available for jobs and school.
After years of not finding the right medicines to help me with feeling… okay. I got diagnosed with bipolar type two, it’s nice to see a video that explains type two well.

Frame by frame.
My dad is bipolar. He fits perfectly in the first category. The problem is that when they are in their "high moods" they tend to do crazy things like spending money they don't have, which causes them to fall into depression. Well at least that happens to my dad a lot! He hates medicine (he has only taken it for one month years ago) because it affects how he feels and thinks when he is in the high mood.
I have bipolar 2 and bpd. I was in an unhealthy relationship, used and manipulated, cheated on. Being pushed to hurt myself, ECT. I eventually broke and when I did, I lost everyone and everything. I went on a rampage for months and months before getting sent to jail. I'm now on probation and facing homelessness. I once had a decent life, some money. All I will say is that if you know someone suffering from mental illness, and you can't quite understand what is happening to them, the least you can do is not break them more. GL.
I loved the art style in this video! That being said, I'm glad there's videos like this explaining mental conditions. Glad to know that things are getting better for those in need of help!
Some of the qualities that my uncle, who was diagnosed associative disorder with schizophrenic episodes, possessed and seems to be the norm in most people that I've met that were suffering from the same or similar mental issues, was that he was an extremely talented guitar player having taught himself in his teenage years. Also could play the piano . As well as being one of the most intelligent people I've ever been around. Really too smart for his own good. Just couldn't deal with his illness enough to see how far he could go with it. So so sad .
Oh my god. I don't miss a beat on your description of type one. I was always wondered what was wrong with me. Sometimes it's so bad I am like a husk of a person living in my memories then snap my teacher calls my name and I'm back. Also I mix my sentences sometimes start at the middle then say the the beginning at the end. My thoughts race constantly and I can't speak my mouth can't keep up. I have terrible mood swings I push people away because I'm trying to think of what they are thinking about me. I am all over the place. I can't say enough but I am literally in tears rn this video has changed my life
Aidan, I'm not a doc by any means but I'm diagnosed with both bipolar and BPD, and what you're describing sounds a lot more like BPD. They are similar disorders, but BPD is different in how the moods are triggered. See a doc and get help, it's worth it!
@@kleinemaus6094 maybe I looked into that too but one of the things for BPD is not trusting people but I tend to put to much trust onto peoplle but at the same time i have trained myself to do this because I was having a hard time holding onto people in relationships without it. Otherwise it seems spot on
@@kleinemaus6094 no I looked into it more I definitely can cross out BPD thanks tho I learned something new
@@MadMan_123 with BPD, it can be a spectrum thing, you don't have to hit on all the symptoms, it's a minimum of five out of nine diagnostic criteria. :) I would still talk to a doc and get a formal dx, no matter what it is :)
@@kleinemaus6094 yea I hit less than 5
As someone with diagnosed Bipolar Disorder, I can say that this is an amazing video! Thank you for explaining things so well to people who doesn't know what it is really like.
Hey Júlia,
how do you treat yourself? Do you take medication?
I have this one from many years..But can't tell my family or anyone.
The depression is so much...Ending life seems so much comfortable.
Hope no one gets it..Stay healthy and happy🙏
There are mixed episodes too with manic symptoms that go along with depression. I should know as i have experienced this very often. Hope everyone has a great day ❤
