- "I'm much more creative than I ever was when I was manic, or before bipolar, to the point where I can honestly say, if I was offered a cure, I wouldn't take it, because I do consider it that much of a gift." Filmmaker Paul Dalio, director of Touched with Fire, explains how Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison helped him get through the darkest days of his struggle with Bipolar disorder -- and how he's more creative now than ever before.

Was on Bipolar medication for 30 years .decided to stop taking when at age 50 because many times the Doctors were concerned of my liver breaking down the medication .I decided to go off lithium myself without Doctors advice slowly over 3 months. I'm now 3 years without lithium, and feel much better.Prior to going off lithium I learned of the triggers that made me manic or depressed and worked on ways to reduce those imoacts in my life. I dont allow myself to get stressed,at times I do but have trained myself to relax and defuse the stressful feelings that in the past even on lithium at that time was differcult to control.Every body has stress but one must work thru this and acknowledge what triggers that stress and what can desolve that stress which can be very harmful to bipolar sufferers.
David Broughton diagnosed like a week ago and there's no possible way I will poison my body with drugs. Ever. Like you I know what triggers me. I just try to avoid it at all cost. I just have to remind myself that I'm okay!
Very interesting David! I was just diagnosed this year. Could you give us an update?
There is no “after” and “ before” bipolar. It’s lifelong
he meant the bipolar disorder diagnosis but yeah you are right
This was perfect for me to see at this moment…
i would take a cure for this in a second...fuck bipolar disorder
Do you still feel this way, anything changed ?
I've seen my friends get married, buy houses, and have kids. I have thoughts of killing myself almost every month and I can't even take care of myself. I agree. Fuck bipolar disorder.
More creative or more productive? I can flail around all day Robin Williams like but I need meds to reign me in and write it down.
It also reminds me of "And The Battle Begun..." by RX Bandits.
I haven’t been able to fight for my future yet and I’m going on 6 years in my diagnosis now
How're you doing now Paul?
@@lospolos13 still the same as a year ago
What meds are these?
Lithium most likely
@@franky2347 lithium sucks 😞
Lithium, Seroquel, Depakin..
Lithium helps, I need lithium. I just don't like having to do blood work. I hate needles.
Doesn't Seroquel make one sleepy?
@@thorisomolefe2276 yes seroqurl will knock u out
Since starting lithium I feel no creativity and unable to peruse certain things requiring creative thinking.
Hes a former cast member og 90210.
He looks like his pops
All he makes films about is bipolar? He wouldn't take a cure?
He's got crazy dry mouth though
+Phoenix Zappa hahaha! I was thinking that. Do the meds make you gurn?!
+chris Bryson Some meds do dry your mouth. Meds are not fun.
I know :p I was misdiagnosed for 3 years and given all different antidepressants. Really fucked me up. Should be on mood stabilisers but I don't trust any of the drugs now.
Sometimes its required. Its about finding the right med or right other care. Im day um...6 into new med and I do not feel well at all. I trust my doctor thou and we actually talk about my body rather than previous docs talking at me.
My problem is, I trust the doctors for the most part but I don't trust the companies who make the meds. At the end of the day they just want business and profit. Doctors aren't chemists, they're doctors...
Reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.
Most underrated comment of all time. Truly. Out of any video.
