Wait...isn’t BPD actually the abbreviation for “Borderline Personality Disorder” and not Bipolar Disorder? I ask this as a person with Bipolar Disorder.
Yeah I have also heard BPD as a reference to Borderline personality disorder
I am so glad I wasnt the only one to notice.
Youre correct BPD IS borderline. Not Bipolar.
Yeah thats right. I have bipolar type 2 & bpd and they have some big differences.
I think professionals are trying to change the name bpd to emd or em something - where it refers to emotional disorder rather than borderline personality disorder in the same way they did with manic depression becoming bipolar x
Yeah
They need to teach more of this stuff in school instead of the mitochondria
Definitely. That's why we're here. We're filling in that gap :)
No offence how would this be helpful
@@dexterjustice8749
Teaching kids about disorders.
In case they have one, or if they know someone with one.
@@Psych2go yeah teach us bout these things more THAN THOSE DAMN FACTS BOUT RELATIONSHIPS FROM TIME TO TIME!!!!!! Please...
Dexter Rainbrø Dash Gavin-Søn it can help the ones who have this disorder or other find help and help people they know
Bipolar disorder isn't called BPD ....
I love phych2go ...I really wish they didn't call it BPD to shorten the term considering Borderline Personality Disorder is different from a Bipolar Disorder... in psychology we learned that if you want to shorten the term Bipolar Disorder it's BD
because BPD is a totally different thing.
ikr that was bothering me so much
ChikoMontez Xsherijatauna omg thank you! I love this account to but it’s true!! BPD is so different to BP in small and major ways
king they had to point it out though. it’s not dramatic at all. and the mistake was made multiple times anyway, it’s not a little thing.
EXACTLY!! i couldn’t even watch the rest of the video cuz as a person with BPD and not bipolar it’s kinda rude to not look into the facts even that much cuz they’re different...
let me play on the worlds smallest violen

*And internet teaches you LIFE*
Yeah screw geometry

True
97% of the comments: ITS BD NOT BPD THATS FOR BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER!
Fatu Traore well an educational channel should be telling the right information
@@MTWtelevision2 well people make mistakes
@@shannan7701 still though you should do close research and make sure your facts are 100% correct if you're gonna do an educational disorder
NoƆɐdSɥɐɐ this was 9 months ago and still they did write a comment stating they were wrong
Yes, I feel super disturbed by this. I grew up under a mum who has BPD, it’s traumatic... and I end up getting bipolar disorder. They are two very different things
*_Everytime they said "BPD" I thought about Borderline personality disorder, and kept on getting confused about what was even being talked about here-_*
Cool
fuk u Nice prof pic.
Same here lol
Bpd & BD ware like twins. boderline and Bipolar 🤣
I’d like to see one about the effects of prolonged loneliness has on a person.
It's awful
One effect is severe depression. I was so lonely that i finally turned my back on everyone and started a new life. I'm glad i did. Now everyone who wouldn't give me the time of day wants to talk to me. There's something about not needing people that makes them want to be around u.
I thought that this comment was from rn because of these quarantine time😂
Kay Thepenguinbuddy lol. it’s still relevant even more so now
ruclips.net/video/n3Xv_g3g-mA/видео.html
This is another video that may add some perspective to the lonliness instinct and how it affects people.
bipolar isn't short mood swings though... it's episodes that are usually weeks or months long of mania and depression
only certain types (like rapid cycling) are that fast, and its usually still a few days of each episode
Finally someone.. Bipolar is not one minute you're high then another minute you're low then another minute you're okay.. which isn't included here
Abigail B yeah but I feel like they don't really say anything about the period of time just that they have mood swings
Abigail B yes but mood swing usually implies the short kind that lasts a few hours like hormonal teens get :)
usually with BD its specified that its long periods
bipolar 2 is literally characterized by rapid mood swings and having episodes of hypomania/psychosis more often and in shorter bursts
@@idkwhatthisisanymore7840 also doesn't help that they keep referring to it as bpd which actually does have rapid mood swings which makes the whole video super misleading n confusing
BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder. Not Bipolar Disorder. Kinda confusing.
It's often overlooked, but I think one of the worst symptoms of bipolar disorder is rejection sensitivity. I sometimes avoid forming relationships with new people, not because I dislike them, but because I'm worried they will be disappointed by how unreliable I am. If I meet someone while I'm hypomanic, I feel like it sets an expectation that I'm always energetic and positive. Then, once the high wears off, I feel like I lied to them and misrepresented myself. The depression creeps in and whispers, "You're an imposter and imposters don't deserve friends."
Oh wow- Never thought of it that way, that's an interesting way of looking at it-
Mainly thought of that with romances, been avoiding them like plague 'cuz I'm kinda scared
This..... Feels so relatable
Woah. No really, blew my mind right off. That is *exactly* what I do.
Dating is so hard with bipolar. You have to believe in yourself if you want to date successfully. And it’s hard when that self belief fluctuates so much with the different episodes.
Plus it’s hard to believe in yourself when you don’t even know who you are. It’s hard to know where you end and the bipolar begins.
And on top of that, there’s the stigma of having bipolar in the first place. Many people don’t want to date somebody with a mental illness.
And even if you do get into a relationship with somebody, either they meet you when you’re in mania and hate you when you’re depressed. Or they meet you when you’re in depression and hate you when you’re manic.
The best way is to date other people who also have a mental illness. Then there’s that deeper understanding of how their mind works. That’s a very intense and intimate experience.
BPD and Bipolar Disorder are two completly different disorders 👏👏
Bipolar, depression, and anxiety... Its hell. It really is.... I get bullied a lot by my family
Well well well...look who's contributing to stigma. I myself have been suffering from BD (yes, it is not BPD as already mentioned by others) for over 10 years and have looked into the disease intensively (in 10 years, I had time to do so...) so please allow me to break this video down a bit:
1: No, lifelong medication is not always necessary. There are cases (even though they remain rather rare) where the patient has been able to get off his/her meds and is stable. If there's nothing to throw you off the wagon (death of a close person, relocation etc) and especially if you have a stable life (reliable partner, finances are in order, people who support you) you can do without meds,
2: Even though you elaborate on the subject later on, mania is not just high energy and depression isn't just low energy. If it was, it would be sooooooo much easier,
5: Bipolar can be seen in MRI scans of the brain. It has been done in the past and they still do it to date; with improved MRI techniques, they have been able to see even more distinguishments between a healthy and a bipolar brain. Heck, even I had an MRI scan done on my brain once...,
7: Yeah with many more sub types: Rapid Cycling, Ultra Rapid Cycling, Ultra Ultradian Rapid Cycling and, my personal favorite *sarcasm overload*, mixed episodes. And BD Type 1 usually comes with hallucinations and in some rare cases, can even occur if you're suffering from BD Type 2,
8: Stressful situations...is that a new code word for “early childhood trauma”?! Someone who would get BD because of a stressful situation would have to be psychologically speaking very vulnerable. In this case my guess is that there must be some kind of predisposition,
9: We may be crazy but we're not entirely delusional. Rich and famous? Come on, give me a break! XD While you might spend money irrationally, put yourself in risky situations and so on, you don't start thinking that you're Robert Redford while you're just Mr. Average,
10: ...but many don't live life as fully as they used to and some are not able to work anymore or not fulltime at least. It's also about managing energy and strength. How much can you do, when will it be too much and will you have enough time to recharge your batteries in order not to provoke a new episode (even with medication)?
Overall: please do some proper research. It's not like we don't get judged enough already. Putting pretty much everyone in the same pot and making this disease seem like it's not that serious is like a slap in the face to sufferers (it is considered as being a very severe diagnosis). People who don't know might think that it's not such a big deal, maybe question people who cannot work anymore or who cannot take care of their children properly. You're just adding to the stigma when actually, you should help to reduce it. Now, I get that this certainly wasn't your intention, but do me a favor and don't make a video if you don't have all the facts. Or make a longer video with less of those little (and cute) drawings but more content. I guess that would represent a little less work (drawings)...? I don't know, but I'm disappointed in hearing those things. As I said, it's like a slap in the face and trust you me when I tell you that we get enough of those on a regular basis anyway.
Thank you omg
Type 2 here, with college degrees and literally can't work. I'm on disability (which took me 4 years to get.) I hate it. I wish I could get a normal brain.
Thank you so much for clearing things up and stating more facts! my mom has bipolar disorder and when I saw this video I thought I was going to get a lot of information so I can learn more about the disorder but instead, I got very vague facts that were kind of obvious. Like yes, depression is low energy and manic is high energy ok what else? Thank you for giving more information on the subject. You should've just done the video yourself
@MissRadittsu, rock on, agree with you. But one thing I found so far: including myself (Atypical Bipolar 2) and the other 4 people in our support group with Bipolar 1 NO ONE HAD HALLUCINATIONS on a regular basis but did have infrequent times when they had Psychosis. What I understood from them is their moods would go into rapid cycling but they didn't see things or hear things that were not there. In my case I have Ultra Rapid Cycling but I have never seen or heard things that are not there. We do suffer a lot because of misinfo & stigma. That's why I get upset when people hear I have Bipolar they automatically assume I see and hear things that are not there because I just don't. A lady at church automatically assumes all people with Bipolar experience "Seasonal Affective Disorder" and I try to tell her people with Bipolar experience a wide range of things, and you can't assume cookie cutter experiences for everyone. I also wish people would stop referring to it as a "Mental Illness" when it is actually classified as a Mood Disorder.
@@meghanmonroe Hi friend! I have Atypical Bipolar 2 which my Psychiatrist tells me that basically am Bipolar 2 but do experience some symptoms only seen in Bipolar 1 like Ultra Rapid Cycling. So I just describe myself as having "Bipolar 2.5! Ha Ha! I know how you feel. I want a new brain too. I am an LPN and Licensed Cosmetologist but been on Disability since 2001.
I feel like I either am Bipolar or just a moody teen with severe mood swings cuz I just don’t know what I have, it varies in what’s going on in my life and it’s like one day I feel like I can do anything then a few days later I start to feel like crap.
Me too :(
believe me, people around you know it when it comes
I struggle with bipolar depression. I would LOVE if you’d make a video on that specific disorder. My doctor said this type of depression is a different type of “sadness.” I always knew that I had an underlying level of depression inside of me, no matter how Intensely. Some days I will experience a huge wave of severe depression. I have cried and cried and laid in bed for no reason I just knew that I was having another depressive episode. Like it makes me feel sadness on a whole other level. :/ okay thanks for reading if anyone did lol
Same
I'm what you call swagger how did you comment yesterday sksks
Thanks for opening up and sharing your experiences. You describe what a lot of people go through with that disorder. We will see what we can do with that topic. Stay tune!
@@Psych2go I hope you make it too
Psych2Go you’re amazing thank you so very much!
My mom is bipolar- but I never really understood it except for her mood is ALWAYS changing- its scary sometimes though I still love her... But I kinda understood it a bit more now. Thanks Physic!
Inactive Channel me too
Inactive Channel My sister’s boyfriend has bipolar disorder and it’s really scary. He’s often cheating on my sister and has crazy episodes of mania. He’d even often try to engage in sexual acts with me and now I feel uncomfortable seeing him. I don’t want to sound rude or offensive but he hasn’t made any effort to try and fix his disorder and I’m surprised my sister is still with him...
Jikook Fanatic goodness. Tell her to dump his toxic ass. Not everyone with bipolar disorder is a cheating dick. That’s his personality.
Me too but she takes her meds so her mood is just constant she almost never smiles, i was 9 years old the last time she had a maniac episode and was hospitalised
Moose I’ve told her many times before but she honestly refuses to even be away from him. Her boyfriend broke up with her yet she’s still out here being with him and having sex with him. I honestly don’t get it. I also get that not everyone with Bipolar disorder is like this. But I think in his case he just acts that way on free will also
You kept referring to bipolar as BPD but the acronym BPD stands for borderline personality disorder. the two are often misdiagnosed for each other because of the similar presentation of mood swings, but borderline personality disorder is more of a relationship disorder and usually has a bigger traumatic past but can be comorbid with bipolar. BPD or otherwise known as borderline personality disorder can also be psychotic and narcissistic!
Stop spreading misinformation, BPD is a personality disorder on its own, don't say "Oh it's narcissistic and psychotic too!!" because it's very triggering to have my disorder compared to NPD when I've been traumatized by people with NPD. Bipolar is a mood disorder. BPD is a CLUSTER B personality disorder, not a "relationship disorder". I actually have it and I'm tired of people spouting random bullshit. Not everyone with BPD has psychosis either, I do have psychosis myself but don't be confusing.
Canis Majoris I have to agree. I am not diagnosed with BPD but I have a lot of the signs present but I don’t have such an opportunity to be diagnosed. I am confirmed to have Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder tho. Anyway I have spent most of my free time reading and studying mental illnesses as it’s a passion of mine (it’s why I want to pursue a Psychiatrist career) and it really hurts me to see how people often make fun of, glorify, or confuse mental disorders. Bipolar Disorder and BPD, although similar are two different things
@N S NO! They are trying to tell people about their health and lifestyle!
U will know there is REAL bpd. When they easily get ANGRY!
@Summer Carnations ?
Have you guys been enjoying the videos we've been releasing lately? What topics would you like us to cover that we haven't yet? Generally, we try to aim for listicle based topics to help present the content as concisely as possible so that we do not overwhelm.
Could you talk about ptsd ( post traumatic stress disorder)
Can you maybe do a video on how to find/know if a friend is trustworthy enough to tell them your biggest secret and vent to them about it. Or how to not pull away and avoid someone once you tell them something personal.
BPD and Bipolar Disorder are two different mental illnesses. They get confused a lot but what are you guys even doing. 🤔
Delete this video because you're increasing stigma by saying bipolar and BPD are the same thing. This is so frustrating, I actually have BPD and was almost misdiagnosed with bipolar, so??
I'm bipolar, im really insecure.. I could be really happy and then have a mood swing and be really upset, it scares my mom and the rest of my family, but this video really helped.. thank you for all these videos you do, keep on going, you're amazing ❤️
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY COMMENT AND WORKING ON IT! I want to understand my friend a lot better
Mad about "BPD" its like they dont even know what borderline is
Right? And how hard was it to google this information? Like did they really not do any additional research before putting this out?
My dad had bipolar. It was super hard to be around him. He would fight with my stepmom all the time. They fought every time I came to their house, and it really sucked. One time I had to hide in the bathroom because I didn't want to deal with my dad, my stepdad actually had to come and get me because I couldn't handle it. About 5 months ago I had enough, it had been about a month after the whole bathroom thing and ever since then I was trying to find a way to get out of there. What pushed me over the edge was that my dad screamed at my stepmom, WHILE SHE WAS HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK! So I decided that it wasn't safe anymore over there, and I left. I packed all the stuff I would want, and left. Now, before you say "bUt YoU sHoUlD hAvE bEeN mOrE uNdErStAnDiNg" well, I had been dealing with it for 5 years at that point, and it was really taking a toll on my mental state. I was 13 (I'm gonna be 14 in a few days) and he wasn't even there for most of my life. There's a lot more details on what happened in between all of that, but I'm much happier now and going to a therapist. So, ye, that's my story with a bipolar father.
I'm glad you got out and feeling better. I grew up with a bipolar single mom, I didn't got away, I was too scared to leave. That stuff really messed me up. And now, as an adult, I still struggle. I dont think I'll ever be able to forgive her tbh, and i don't want to either, she have never expressed any remorse for ruining my childhood and the person that I became.
It took my brother 5 years and 3 psychiatrists to get a bipolar diagnosis. He was on all these meds that never worked and was constantly on the verge of a psychotic episode. Now he's on the right meds and he's happy, stable, and is going to medical school. Always get a second opinion, trust me it will help.
I have bipolar disorder, maybe I was already in my teens. I was diagnosed at 20 and I am 26. This is really helpful!
I thought “BPD” stood for borderline personality disorder. I could be wrong tho
it does, i think they just mixed it up i guess
Nope your instinct is correct.
No, BPD is for borderline, they just fucked it up and need to delete the damn video.
Canis Majoris Look I understand that they messed up on that part but it doesn’t mean they have to delete the video over it
Your right and... your profile killed me xD
As someone who was diagnosed with MDD last month (at the time of writing this), thank you for calling more attention to this topic! :D And even though I am bipolar, I still don't know a lot about it and I'm eager to educate myself. Thank you so much! 💖💖
As someone with Bipolar Type 1, the "invincibility" you feel during mania is so real. You feel like you are untouchable. When I leave that manic state, the worse part is realizing how much money I blew on things left and right with no care.
As someone with bipolar disorder, thank you so much for bringing attention to it and explaining it for those who don’t understand it
Kid: *has Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Bipolar disorder, etc...*
Media: It's the games.
I feel this so hard and it always makes me want to scream
Well that's definitely one possibility that's being looked into. There is still so much talk about dopamine overload and possibly some serotonin and other neurotransmitters involved. Social media seems to be the bigger culprit though at the moment although they do tend to go hand-in-hand anymore. I think screen time in general has a lot to do with it.
Or it is that phone..........
I am autistic and I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder 3 years ago
@@softsunlightnaiad I hope your doing OK. My daughter is Autistic and I'm Bipolar. Take care of yourself, when I say I understand what your going through, believe me when I say this I really do understand. X
I appreciate this, since this is literally what my dad is going through... And sadly will go through for the rest of his existence. War really does change everything.
So happy for this channel the community is growing more and ive been here for a long time ♥️
Tysm for this video! I've been doing a lot of research on bipolar because my mom and one of my close friends both have it and I want to understand and sympathize them more
There’s something about me that is a magnet for Bipolar men. 75% of guys I’ve dated have it, including my current BF. Luckily most of them take care of themselves and medicate properly. I’ve had to help through a few episodes when meds were missed. Best piece of advice I can give is as soon as they share their disorder with you, ask them what you should do for them in those moments. Everyone is different but as long as you have a basic idea of what to do (leave them be/cuddle and soothe, etc) it makes it easier for both of you :)
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice :) What could someone do to help if their partner is going through an episode?
i got diagnosed with bipolar about a month ago and honestly, its put so much into perspective.
to be specific, i have bipolar ii. when hypomanic, i become really aggressive and easily agitated. im also much more likely to have panic attacks. during depressive episodes i get horrible intrusive thoughts, with vivid imagery in my mind of said intrusive thought.
im on medication (lamotrigine) now and i feel normal for once. seeing a video like this makes me hapoy because it dismisses harmful stereotypes about BD
thank you for making a video about bipolar disorder. it's very important that people are educated about the disorder because it impacts many
Thank you for your feedback :) Do you have any of your own personal experience with bipolar disorder?
I was diagnosed with SAD when I was in highschool, alongside clinical depression. I recently noticed a trend, where I’ll have a depressive episode that lasts about 1-3 months and is immediately followed by at least a month or two months of general happiness and excellent self esteem. It’s a cycle, and that’s what makes my physician think that I might have Bipolar. I have to wait to see a psychiatrist to get a formal diagnosis, but watching this video has helped me to better understand what Bipolar disorder is, and what the chances are that I might have it. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, my mom suffers from bipolar and whenever i tell someone that they always say some really wrong and stupid stuff that make me wanna slap them
Thank you for this video 🙏 I commented in one of your videos telling you guys to make a video about the bipolar disorder. Maybe its just me maybe its just a coincidence nonetheless thank you so much for this
Thank you very much.. May peace be upon us all and may we have a healty body, soul, and mind
I was mis-diagnosed with depression. Then when was put on anti-depressants, I crashed.
Threatening suicide on social media, put in hospital then diagnosed bipolar 2. Now diagnosed bipolar 1. It’s been a rough ride, but once you find the right doctors, right people, things do start to improve.
One very important fact one of my psychiatrist mentioned to me; when people are misdiagnosed with depression and put on antidepressants, the medications are lethal. In my case, I was suffering from being bipolar, not depression.
Many thanks, great video 💕🌈🌦
While I found out that I can live without depression and insomina when I put a lot of effort in my nutrion and daily rituals, i fully agree that for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder there is nothing but medication and the right theraphist that can keep one functioning with these disorders. I met those people. And i deeply respect how they manage their daily life.
i couldn’t watch the whole video because they keep referring to bipolar as bpd and it really irked me.. bpd is borderline personality.
This channel is just one of the best on RUclips
Your videos are very helpful, thank you very much for creating such content
Please either remake this video or just take it down. Using the “BPD” acronym incorrectly is spreading misinformation and also makes your channel seem like an unreliable, uneducated source for psych info.
Well, they didn't know, in fact, they might use "BPD" for "BiPolar Disorder" or something. They could keep this video up if they want.
It's just very confusing as someone who has BPD (borderline) trying to learn more about a close friend who is bipolar, so the terminology has thrown me off this video lol couldnt watch it.
Thank you for this video. I was hoping you'd touch on my disorder. I'm taking two types of medication, one for my mania and one for my depression. Mania was actually my worst problem before and was the first thing I was medicated for. I would black out and enter a sort of wild rage. Sometimes I found myself in places I had no memory of going to. I only recently started getting medicated for my depression which manifested it'self as anxiety.
I was just looking to see if you had a video on Bipolar Disorder yesterday! What a coincidence that you would upload a video about that!
I hate people with bipolar disorder. I met a new co-worker a year ago. He is sometimes too hyper, too confident, too talkative, but sometimes too depress and made the others unhappy.
He is never a team player and caused trouble to our team.
I hope I will never meet another bipolar person.
This is ruining my life, and knowing that it's not curable, it destroys me :c
Hang in there. Check out DBSA.ORG. This stands for Depression and Bipolar Alliance. This site will help you a lot. Good luck!
@@kathleenmorrison8450 you just have to deploy more patience. And it'll be alright😀😀😀

Thank you so much for sharing the truth about this disorder
My father suffers from bipolar and this video helped me understand a little more than I already know and I want to say thank you
So i did notice one thing. It isnt really mentioned that bipolar is more about the length of the mood swings vs just having them.
Bpd is borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder isn't widely called that.
i went to counseling for anxiety and depression and after a year and a half my counselor re-diagnosed me with bipolar disorder and adhd - another big reason counseling is so important!!
My cousin has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder this year (not abbreviated bpd btw, that’s borderline personality disorder). She’s 14, but has shown symptoms since she was 4/5 years old. She has social interaction problems and is homeschooled. She acknowledges how hard it is for her parents because when she gets super depressed, she’ll lay in bed all day, and then get up and walk around at night, either screaming at people or crying. But when everything’s “normal”, she will want to go everywhere and do activities that are usually art related with people. She’s very smart, but school is extremely difficult for her. My aunt is desperately afraid of her daughters behavior, and she doesn’t try to help her, she just throws doctors at her. My grandma has done more than her parents ever have. They’re afraid and hopeless, and don’t try. I feel so much sympathy because she’s such a creative and clever person. They favor her little brother, and focus on his schoolwork a lot more than hers. This is all happening in Russia, where treatment for mental diseases is not as openly discussed nor accepted as in America 😬
*Sometimes we can have bipolar symptoms when we experience psychological REBIRTH*
Don't be hasty to get diagnosed, your body might try to tell you something.
Listen always to your inner voice as a first step.
*I see you everywhere dude* _like no joke, your everywhere_ -it’s kinda annoying-
Psychological rebirth? I swear, you’re always making up new terms to sound edgy and philosophical.
I’m definitely going to see a doctor after this. All the red herrings, I’ve been so clueless.😔
did u end up going?
@@boic3341 nah sis, rona🥲but soon!!
I’ve been suffering with bipolar type 1 for ten years, and it’s a gift and a curse at the same time. I’ve had so many great experiences linked to it, but for the past few years (after I started treatment) my life became a lot less eventful. I don’t know how people manage to live a “full” life with the illness, but even on medication for me that sounds quite impossible to achieve.
Was very helpful thank you 🥺
My life changed after I started treatment. I grieve for the years I struggled through before I sought medical assistance. It's a lonely place to be in. Anyone watching this with bipolar it good to hear that you are not alone.
Can you do an episode of Multiple Personality Disorder or DID?
If they already have can someone let me know?
They have one on DID

I have bipolar disorder, and this really did help me. Thank you so much 😊 I really needed this. I love you guys ❤️❤️ you help me a lot❤️
When I was at grade 9 I thought I was an introvert because im so quite since I had no friends but grade 10 and I had friends and discovered I was an ambivert but now Im not sure if i just have bipolar please help
When I had a major trigger event at age 28, I saw a psychiatrist, and I was able to get my BD diagnosis and trace it back to age 13-14. I'd suffered for a long time not having any clue that I could get help.

What is reality distortion psychosis? Is it BPD Psychosis?
I was diagnosed with high functioning autism and bipolar 1 with psychotic features alongside comorbidities with superiority complex, god complex,, messiah complex, anxiety, paranoia, erotamania level, delusions of grandeur ,narcissism, conduct disorder, agoraphobia when I was 14 this teaches a lot ❤
My dad has BD type 2 and it's REALLY hard sometimes to talk to him when he has a manic episode
sameee
Yes they used the wrong abbreviation. Congrats on noticing, keep watching the video.
Exactly
People aren't pointing it out just to be smart. It is a real issue.
It's not just an "abbreviation". Bipolar and BPD are already very confused for each other and this video increases that stigma and spreads other misinformation as well, such as saying there's more than two types of bipolar and that the mania or hypomania is similar to BPD and ADHD mood swings?? Not correct.
it's actually really shitty that they did this cuz now people are gonna think they're THE SAME THING. as someone with both, this is a real issue for me.
My close friend with BD is always in a good mood (doesn't seem to suffer from lows) but she is an "over-talker" and interrupts constantly. Trying to have a "normal" conversation with her is exhausting for me. We have had numerous chats about this, and she promises to try harder. However this "over-talking" seems to be pathological. She does everything a rude, arrogant or self-centred person does, but without being any of those things. I've had to learn to accept it.
this is the most essential video i have ever seen since i have bipolar disorder
BPD is the acronym for 'Borderline Personality Disorder', NOT Bipolar disorder. Please correct this, Psych2go!
you need to remove or remake this video without the abbreviation 'bpd'... it makes your channel look unreliable and ill-researched. I loved this channel so much but now I'm questioning the information on this channel because this is such a big mistake. that you are leaving this up even after so many fans have pointed this mistake out means you are aware of the problem, yet you're ok with continuing to spread misinformation.
100% agree I legit lost all respect for this video as soon as they said bipolar is called bpd... like did they not open google once to fact check that one? It’s not like it’s hidden information.. no wonder they just think mania is “high energy” like.......
Awesome video!
I remember having my first mental evaluation at age 12. At first it showed up as depression, but now, at age 16, I just had my most recent evaluation and it has come back positive for bipolar type 1. Misdiagnosis is very common, and also normal for those who have bipolar. I know this first hand.

Cue the onslaught of people claiming to have Bipolar Disorder without having a diagnosis to get attention on the internet.
And cue the onslaught of people not seeking professional help or support of any kind in fear of being associated with the attention seekers. Fuck, it's a sad cycle.
I have been struggling with most or all of these symptoms, and wondering whether or not I should be worried. I'm not here for attention. Also, it runs in my family
@@ciera5235 It's much better to get a diagnosis. My psychiatrist told me years ago: You can take meds, and no one will know you have bipolar disorder. Or you can NOT take meds, and everyone will know. My meds haven't cured me, but they make life a lot easier and balanced. Also, I get therapy regularly, which really helps as well. We've explored my triggers and what I can do and what we can do together.
On the other hand, you may not have bipolar disorder, and a doctor can help you figure out what else could be going on that is making you feel this way.
A good professional is so much better than worrying - hugs!
Great video 👍🏾
Hey thank you for this video 😍
Bipolar is not BPD, and you mispronounced caveat.
It's really important to the mental health community that you don't confuse the general public.
Please change this.
Is it possible to have both bipolar disorder and depression?
Thats called Bipolar 1.
Yes it is. That's exactly what I have. ( And a lot more lol) if you feel like you do, just talk to your doctor, they can help you, mine really helped me. 😊❤️
No, you have either bipolar or depression
If u have depression and get manic then its bipolar
My sister is bipolar. At the time when she wasn't diagnosed and didn't take her medication, I used to stress out because of her unpredictability. Nowadays though, the mood swings are less "severe" and certainly we can communicate better💓
What helps you communicate better?
@@Psych2go distance is a number one factor and going with the flow, being calm. If it's not possible, then we just give each other space and after a few days we're perfectly fine talking things out.
I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 'unknown' by blood test, and what you just said really hit the nail on the head. After I had therapy, I was so relieved to get myself off medications, since I was given old fashioned ones for skitsophrenia. To be honest, they weren't helping me and I never had any massive highs or delve to the depths lows. Personally, I feel I was 'put in a box' because even when I was young, going through therapy and etc, there has never been a category for me. Besides if I do have BPD, it has never interfered with my daily life and I don't have the symptoms that would be affiliated with it.
Can you please make a video about Borderline Personality Disorder!!
Love your vids ❤️
They did.
Yep! We have one here: ruclips.net/video/3Dt9xJGPQBk/видео.html Thanks for the support! :)
@@Psych2go Just as an advice I think you should delete this video, fix it and upload it when all the terms are correct. I love Psych2Go but this time you made a mistake 😔😔
@@Psych2go i am bipolar, and it made me so angry youre talking about BPD in this video which is totally a different thing.
while i really love this channel and will advocate for it’s usually high reliability, this video is kind of misinformed. firstly, the abbreviation for bipolar disorder is BD while BPD stands for borderline personality disorder, which is a completely different type of disorder with extremely different roots. secondly, the mood swings really can’t be accurately compared to those of ADHD or BPD. in both ADHD and BPD, the mood swings are usually frequent and happen throughout the day. on the other hand, bipolar disorder consists of episodes that last a number of days or even weeks or longer, depending on the type of bipolar disorder a sufferer has. one of the criterion for a diagnosis of bipolar 1 is that manic episodes last at least a week, and for bipolar 2 it’s that hypomanic episodes last at least four days. while rapid cycling is a thing, it is not what defines BD and is not in the diagnosis criteria. I’m not sure what exactly the criteria is for cyclothymia so i won’t pretend to know, but the point is that comparing the mood swings of bipolar disorder and ADHD just isn’t accurate, and getting BD and BPD mixed up is also highly inaccurate. i wish they’d done a little more research for this video so they could clear up those common misconceptions.
Having Bipolar 1 it's kinda hard that you'll gonna have a very long time having depressive mood
Man… this fits me to a T. I daydream about my old job and role play in my head as if I were still there. It’s like I revisit the time I went down hill got arrested and lost my job because of it and I’m still there and still in a great leader position putting out fires and still have all my old friends. Then when I come back to reality I get super depressed.
BPD is short for borderline personality disorder, don't call bipolar disorder BPD, just say bipolar because that's confusing and I don't want to be told I'm bipolar whenever I talk about my BPD to people.
Yeah I dont think a lot of people know the difference 😒 thanks for pointing that out
When you guys are describing the disorder can you not say “the sufferer” or “suffers from” it puts unnecessary emphasis on the pain they already feel and further stigmatizes and alienates them
I was diagnosis bipolar 2 about 3 years ago. Glad I finally got properly diagnosed. I hid a lot of my more intense symptoms but it got to a point where I couldn't wear that mask anymore. It took over.
Thank you so much dor this video♡
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching :)
Why are there comments from four days ago wtf
Ikr I'm so confused
Oh no they're time travellers!!!
