I don’t remember what year it was but I saw the news of a man who killed his wife after drinking coffee. He kept telling the police that every time he drank coffee he felt different. I worked with a person with bi-polar and it is very difficult many people quit their job and so did I. I never understood why she was never told not to come back to work. She lied a lot and manipulated many people and things. I never mistreated her in any way no matter what she did to me and others but I couldn’t continue to work there
@@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 Coffee includes caffeine which can affect your mania and worsen it negatively. It's best to regulate your intake of caffeine, or better not even take caffeine at all. And drinking is also detrimental.
@@micardorilos4030 GABA supplements, omega oils and vitamin D will also help. Stop consuming caffeine, cigarettes, artificial sugar and don’t drink alcohol more then once or twice a week. Strict meditation/prayer will also grow your prefrontal lobe which is small in bipolar people.
I was having so much suicidal thoughts 10 years ago as a teenage, also suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. I got diagnosed with bipolar, spent my whole life fighting bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
@Mickey Mouse Thanks for replying it's really hard to sit back in watch someone going through this I have had over 30 years into this person. He should know to go get help but doesn't want too.Today was a terrible day. He was drunk by 11:00 O' clock this morning. At least his out lived Google Medics stats. 1 day at a time. I am not telling you nothing you don't already know. When your in trouble reach your hand out. Never stop taking your medicine on your own. People do care. Stay safe!!!
I'm a veteran, alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
@@musicandpoetry_8 IDK about you, but I miss the days before being human was a mental illness. Ya know, when kids were allowed to be yard apes, and not told they had adhd, and if your parents trained you to be clean, it was a good thing, not ocd....ect...ect...
I’ve lived with bipolar 1 for about 40 years now. It took a lot of destruction in my life to finally accept the diagnosis and reach out for help. With the right meds and therapy, I’m in a much better place now. Of all the youtube videos I’ve watched on bipolar, Polar Warriors is the only channel that’s actually helped me.
Sory doctor im can't understand language english..but im still loving doctor..because help patient in emergency kes example icu...thanks you so much for everything doktor..we love u..😘😘😘🌹
Heyy Tina... I don't know who u are but I can surely tell that u are an extremely strong person to have been fighting against this for 10 years!!! Not everyone has this much strength... Sending u lots of love..❤❤..
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 16. But what I do realize now that I'm older, lots of my lashing out & personality changes were definitely caused by my family in how the way they treated me. Now that I'm older & have separated myself from the negativity I see how much happiness has came into my life, I love it. Most of the time you don't need to take medication, all you have to do is separate yourself from all the negative energy.
*Dr. Sportelli speaks so compassionately for the people & intelligently about the condition, it shows true dedication on his side of things; using simplified terms & examples to inform. I learned a lot*
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
1. Distractability - cannot sit still or finish any task 2. Imulsovity - doing things without thinking, rash thinking 3. Grandiosity - inflated sense of self 4. Flight of ideas - deas coming out one after the other very quickly 5. Agitation or activity level increase 6. Tending to not need sleep 7. Rapid and pressured speech
@@mab7175 I know more than one narcisist who was wrongly diagnosed with depression. Depression often come with narcism ore sociopathy since there is not much to live for, if you see the world and life as a game of chess.
I'm a psychiatrist, and I thank you SO much for using this platform to explain the difference between mood lability (so often seen with character pathology) and true bipolar disorder.
Classified as an illness, changes your attitude towards life, irritable mood, symptoms of depression, distracted from the task at hand, trouble potentially, psychosis and agitation and sleep issues, pressured speech, mania means your bipolar, caused by medical issues or medicines, illicit drugs like cocaine, suicidal thoughts🚩✅
@@The4a.mhi. I'll answer you to your question. I'm bipolar 1 since almost 15y. I've been on depakine but I don't recommend it because most ppl gain weight, and I mean A LOT. The best is lithium but... You must take blood tests for it's level at least once a month ( I do it every 2, but I'm not I'll since yesterday so my doc appointment are also every 2 months because of that). Lithium is also bad for thyroid so you must also take pills for that and blood tests. Those pills are annoying because you must take them before eating and other pills 1h or 0,5h before. You can take them 4h after last meal also. On lithium you eat also other pills like mood stabilizers, antipsychotics ( if you have them), anti anxiety pills if needed etc. It's very, very important to take pills to shield liver and vitamins like vit. D, omega 3,6,9. Also check vit. D levels in your blood. What to do? Sleep is veeeery important. Take pills at the same time and go to sleep, wake up at the same time no matter what. DO NOT allow yourself to sleep all day long because depression will be worse and will last longer. Observe yourself: what causes mania and depression. There is good app for android called emoods made for ppl with bipolar. You can adjust it to your need for example when you have short mania and depression episodes and add to this app bookmark how you feel in the morning, evening and afternoon. It's very nice app, you can show results to doctor and it'll help your sis to understand this illness and herself better. If your sis gained some weight already she can drink before eating water with lemon or apple vinegar ( it'll stop a little bit hunger after all the medication). Routine is important. Hobby also helps. In depression the minute she realizes she have suicidal thoughts she must switch to doing something funny ( comedy movies, happy music etc.) Those things helps in general in depression. She cannot stay in bed for 16 hours but... She won't be able to do it on her own. She MUST go for walks, even short ones everyday especially when depressed. Exercises also helps because they will give her endorphins ( happy hormones) and chocolate. If she drinks coffee she also must take pills for it because coffees can make depression worse. The are also antidepression lamps but you must be aware of fake ones and they can be quite costly. The higher mania the lower depression ( there's price for it). In mania ideally if someone would check her because she can have stupid ideas like quit school and start another one. But she can also have great ideas but too much of them so it'll be good if someone will be there for her and help her not only have the idea but also make it and finish it because finishing is hart because of all of those ideas and trust me they can be plenty of them. Once in night I had more than 50. I didn't make them reality because there was too many of them. In mania use this energy to make ideas reality ( not those stupid ones), make order after the haos of depression etc. Your family MUST be aware that not only suicidal thoughts are dangerous but also mixed state when you have depression and mania at the same time because during this time you want to kill yourself and don't feel fear at all and many ppl don't kill themselves because of the fear of pain. In this time you don't have it so it's very, very dangerous. She cannot drink and take drugs ( things will go way worse with it). She also must avoid energy drinks because they can cause mania. Itll be nice if she will find doctor who has access to mental hospital near her because if something ambulance will take her close to home so family can bring her stuff. She must ask other patients about opinion about this doctor also. I hope I gave you all answers you wanted. Ahh. I forgot: therapy. Also smartwatch helps a lot because it tracks sleep and activity which is very important during depression. There are apps which exchange steps into money that you can donate to good cause - will help with motivation. Also what can't sleep because of mania or hipomania use music for sleep. Read before bed and other things which helps with sleep. In depression avoid internet because it almost LITERALLY sucks life out of ppl. Edit: ( again) - ppl with mental health problems have focus and memory problems so she needs to work on that too. There are mnemo techniques, books with excersizes and apps.
"Being upset doesn't mean you have bipolar disorder." No one should make a diagnose without a careful research. Psyciatrists in Argentina would say you are depressed when you just need money to eat and be treated like a human. You cannot judge somone after being one day with them. Mental health needs better awareness. Also, having insomnia doesn't mean you are bipolar. It means you are living with high levels of stress
Dr. Sportelli comes across as such a gentleman, his voice, appearance, dress and ability to describe the illness, much like a Mr. Rogers. This is a compliment. How many of us felt such a peace and hope when we visited Mr. Rogers as children. Especially those whose family life was less than stable or safe.
I'm 23 today and was diagnosed when I was 16 I have bipolar type 2. I tried to commit suicide when I was 17. I also have ocd and GAD sometimes it's still so hard and I really struggle sometimes but I have good medcines for my bipolar disorder I workout and eat good and sleep okey depending on how I feel but it's a lot better then it used to be. I have really good people around me that really cares about me so i feel safe. But damn. Bipolar disorder is ROUGH! I never thought I would live to see 20 but I'm 23 today and still here so i'm proud that i keep on fighting for myself.
@@magdalenafredriksson6134 Try taking a GABA supplement. I also have type 2 and it has helped me a lot. Take one with only GABA in it not one that has other things mixed in with it I think pure GABA works best.
Girl I am the same! I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 when I was 16 and now I am 23. I also have ocd, GAD and eating disorder. I am taking three medications and I am doing much better than before. It’s tough but I am glad I made it through with the help of my support people and medications
@@helenwang8719 Hi wow we have a lot in common I want to say that i’m really happy for you that the medications you are taking is helping and that you have made it through and that you have people around you for support that’s so important I wish you well and for you to continue feeling better. It’s a lot to deal with but you seem to have a safe net with good people around you and good medc good luck with everything❤️
Bipolar 2 here, and it’s so exhausting. The depressive periods are the worst vs the mania. But going to enough counseling and understanding what your warning signs are of your mania AND depression about to spike can make huge differences for yourself and the people around you
So honestly I’m happy that I’ve found this discussion seriously. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I and I’ve been so in denial as of the doctors misdiagnosed me. As I listened to Dr. Sportelli go over the examples I couldn’t help but see myself doing similar things.
This video has helped me raise the awareness of my bipolar disorder, thanks for sharing! It's difficult to talk about social issues sometimes. I'm not comfortable when people have different opinions on those issues.
All of my life I've struggled with depression and anxiety. I also experience episodes of mania. I've always known that there was something going on with my mental health, but I never had the courage to reach out for help. Once I did, I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and everything made sense. I was actually relieved to know that I was right all along, but also, I felt ashamed because the stigma attached to mental health disorders. Working with my BHC has helped a lot. She helps me walk through the process of managing Bipolar disorder. She also is very open and understanding to my emotions of transitioning into this state of mind that accepts that I do have Bipolar Disorder. That, more than anything, helped me feel comfortable enough to continue reaching out for help. I can't stress enough, if you know there is something off with your mental health, find the courage within you to reach out for help. It may be hard and scary to do so, but it is a necessary step towards progress. I heard a lot of people make fun of Bipolar Disorder, and that needs to stop. Don't be ashamed of having a mental health disordered, instead, take the necessary steps toward managing them, and teach people who have narrow minds about the topic along the way.
I have injuries from a Cadillac Escalade smacking into me. cracked my head open. long boring ugly story short. Im still injured. Thats what happens when you're on medical. Can't just pick up the phone and all "your family doctor"! So... don't believe those ins. commercials about getting 1.8 million. You get what you're given, based on the people who ran u over. I'm F'd for life and yes I got 43k. whoopee fucking ding! I want my life back. DOES INJURY and depression because of what I said above mean I can dip into bi-polar.? I smoke weed and help people alot - as its in my nature, I saw a doctor yesterday - waster of time I saw spine doc today.. useless time of 5 hrs,

My mother is Bipolar, she recently broke into my home by breaking the window saying that I don't love her even though I'm the only one that is there for her. I am glad I understand this more now because I really don't want to judge her because I know something is wrong. I just moved away because she is very dangerous when she doesn't take her medicine.
Take GABA supplements, omega oils and eat a healthy diet. Try and not consume too much caffeine or artificial sugars. No nicotine especially cigarettes. Ice cold water on the nerves that run behind your ears and down your neck will stop a manic episode. I can give you more info with stuff I’ve done to give me way more stability. I’ve done a lot of studying and I live without the use of Meds and am doing much better all around.
@@Nancy-ow9wy Yes I was very briefly on them but wasn’t consistent over the two month period I took them. The one I took worked very well but I was kind of afraid of potential side effects like it slowing me down in running or losing my hair. I have type 2 bipolar and I knew that a lot of my depression stemmed from a physical injury that I had for many years but was able to fix once I saved up the money. Brain structure even down to a cellular level is different in bipolar people. I think it can be managed with the right knowledge and many young people with the illness can avoid life changing mistakes if the stigma wasn’t there and people without the illness were also educated about it.
I went almost 6 months in mania. I bought 2 new cars, married with 2 kids and I moved out , switched jobs twice, slept maybe 2 hours per night, and the list goes on…. I got onto mood stabilizers and it was a light switch that turned my manic phase off. I liked being in mania but my life around me was a constant train wreck. My life is mostly back to normal with my family and friends support.
Getting evaluated & diagnosed is everything…getting on the right med’s & staying on them changes everything… don’t wait to ask for help that’s available🙏
He’s very easy on the eyes 👀 and very good at explaining this disorder and the way he is presenting the information is so easy to completely understand and he has such a great voice for teaching !!
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one
@@patriaciasmith3499 I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across dr.sporess, a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
I have bipolar 1. I started at 20 yrs old & am now 65. In my 40's, I actually thought I was much more beautiful than all the super models. I am 5'2" & had given birth to 3 children :/ Because of the tings I did during that full blown mania that hurt my family so bad, is when I crashed, I did DIE by suicide because of the guilt. I was in a coma. It is hell, & there is no cure, BUT I keep working on this, "ONE DAY AT A TIME."
I have lived with BP for 24 ish years. It has been a roller coaster. This Covid and working form home has reeked havoc on my mind and soul to say the least. Glad I cam across this video tho. Thank you
I dated a man first time in my life being bipolar! I could never figure him out, he tired my brain and my emotions! So I started pulling back, not showing much emotion one way or the other when he was around and finally he left town, but I wasted a lot of years. Love bombing which u call grandiose, look at me I’m the greatest guy on earth! I was lucky, he left me a dear Jane letter taped to my door left town and have not heard one peep from him in 9 months. I feel sorry for people who have bipolar, and I feel sorry for the people who get caught up In Their drama. Tu so much for explaining, it was a very good! God bless everyone out there.
As someone w Bipolar I, it is near impossible to sustain a "normal" life. I've ruined my life over a dozen times during manic episodes. I take my meds every day but there are certain triggers that set me off. I've tried so hard to stay stable (meds, therapy, treatment) but it's terrifying that I can go into a manic episode and not really know it until I come out of it. It's so heavy. And then there comes the depression...
God bless you sister hope god starting healing you from your pain and sister i do not now you but rember that some part of world there is person who payer for you begin strong sister
I have bi polar 1 am married have a child and have been working for 25 years I have had several hospital admissions but over all able to pick myself up love the highs at the moment steady have my depressing days
Bipolar 2 here. Good on you for keeping consistent with the meds and treatment. If you aren't already exercising, become addicted to exercise. It has helped me so much. Start journaling. What are the mania triggers? Do they happen randomly or is there some correlation you can find? Could be eating unhealthy for a week gets you into an episode the next week (random example). When I have a manic episode, try to take advantage of the small "benefits"! Clean the house, go on a walk, and get together those clothes you've been meaning to donate to goodwill. Embrace the suck! All jokes aside, I hope you are doing well, I feel your pain, and just keep chugging along. Lost many friends, jobs, addiction issues, etc... myself but now use it as motivation to say Fu*k you to this illness by living a better life. Need to stop watching so much youtube though haha. Edit. Eat healthily and get quality sleep. Invest in your health. You got this 👍
I get hypomanic. My mother is full blown bipolar & my daughter is bipolar. I spent so much energy not acknowledging my issues because of the stigma but encouraged my daughter to get professional help. I’ve screwed up a lot of things & lost touch with reality - that’s scary. Damn
Normal People -the majority - supported the Holocaust and chased witches. They are proofen to be racist and they ignore the homeless and the sick on the street. They kill this whole planet because all they are interested in is money and power and themselves. Since when it is desirable to be normal like that and is it a good thing to be good with money when capitalism is a force of universal destruction?
Once I got diagnosed as Bipolar 2 by a psychiatrist and another one diagnosed me as having ADHD. Psychiatrists are totally subjective when it comes to diagnosing.
YES. If there is a ever a critter whose judgemental subjectivity I'd never want to be on the other side of again, (after only one horror experience) it would be a psychiatrists. Ignorant pill pushers for whatever pharma gang is in charge of them. Try and find a psychologist or therapist who you like and who likes you.
Because Mental illness is not real, it's fake, pharmaceutical companies and the government created mental illness to sell drugs and control the population
There are always comic.bid disorders. For research purposes and for more detailed studies on these subjects such labels are essential. Then don't call diabetes as diabetes , just call " High blood sugar." Remember ICD 10 or whatever number now. Labels are essential like one's own name.
I've got Bipolar 1. Was diagnosed at the beginning of this year, but suspecting for years. I'm currently in a manic state (luckily medicated and managed), and I have been in this state since around the end of May. Over a month of little sleep and constantly changing schedules, grandiose or wild ideas for careers or life plans/lifestyles, getting hyper-focused and obsessed with a bunch of things and doing research on them as if it were my full-time job, and extreme moods like you wouldn't believe. This video is spot on.
It's sad that this isn't extremely common knowledge by now. Bipolar isn't a difficult illness to understand and yet casually drop the word mania in convo and people look at you like they're a new born baby deer. It takes all of 10 minutes of reading or watching a video to put two and two together and figure out what its about, people just want it out of sight and out of mind like they do with the homeless. It's going to be a long road for society to come to terms with mental illnesses while not blatantly discriminating and stigmatizing. I was diagnosed in 99 and can honestly tell you in many ways the psych field and general public have gone backward since then.
I agree. And it’s becoming more common for people to throw around the term ‘bipolar’ in an insulting fashion. I hear it used in my workplace - for stupid things.. like if someone changes their mind they’re ‘being bipolar’ - it’s irks me no end.
You explained that really well doc. I have been diagnosed with bipolar I in my younger years, but now I’m more bipolar II because of more depressive episodes.
This is so damn relatable. I confused being a maniac with the symptoms of falling in love dor the first time. I didn’t feel the need to sleep, felt like a superhuman, wouldn’t sit even once in the entire day. I felt sooo much so that I wanted to talk to some Doctor for being so high and so happy. At times, I wont be able to read even a single paragraph from any book.
Thank you so much for this educational video! The distinction between 1 and 2 is SO IMPORTANT, simply because the treatment method and approach will be completely different. Kudos!
Thank you so much for this, my dad is JUST like this and it was such an eye opener. As a young child and even now, he would promise all these things to me but would never fulfill them. He would create these businesses too (i think like three or four) to the point where he would put so much money into a “business” that when he gives up, he would fall into the depression stage and wouldn’t provide for my brother and I. He would also (and still does) tell me that God spoke to him. For instance, once he was dating this one girl from a different country and when he went to meet her in person for the first time, he proposed to her (they only knew each other for two months) on a mountain (according to him) and claimed that God spoke to him in that moment. They never ended up getting married which is what i expected though. I love my dad of course but i just wanted to share my personal experiences and thank Medcircle for making this video.
I’m just like your dad. I have a 7 year old daughter. I hope that she understands like you do. We love you but there’s a lot of things we can’t help doing.
I love this channel. Thank you so much for the variety of content and the professionals who make it so easy to understand for those not in the field 🙏💜🙏
You can really sense the intense love and interest he has for his profession. He's young enough still that he hasn't gotten jaded from all the craziness he witnessed in his job. My hat's off to this doc! He absolutely seems to LOVE what he does!!😎😎
i’m very sorry for those who are dealing with mental health problems. i am also suffering from PTSD and panic disorder for many years. i can feel their pain. may Allah bless them. 💜
I just learned that my aunt had bipolar disorder and no one had ever told me about it. I think she would be embarrassed to talk about it. I had noticed a few times where she was just in a hard place, and now I see where this disorder may have affected her. I never knew or suspected that she had bipolar disorder, but now I feel better that I know more about it.

I have learned a lot from this, I didn't know exactly what pibolar disease was until I watched this video. This is one of the greatest videos I have watched.
Diagnosed BP2 in my late teens. Have tried countless meds, treatments..ect for 30 years with very little relief. You just come to a point where you live with it Side note...every med I tried put me right into mania. Out of control behavior and thoughts with ZERO thought or care of the consequences. Completely opposite of my normal personality.
Yes. Same age, same crazy pill pushing. Same narrowly missed horrific consequences of crazy behaviour I'd never have done otherwise. Some very dangerous drugs around, legally! You just live and endure it, stay out of trouble. Every day starts with the battle.
Thanks a million for the explanation of this mental disorder! My 51 years old daughter is suffering from this disease for the past 11 years, almost every year she has to go back to the psychiatric wing at the hospital because she quits taking her meds and every year the hospital has to adjust her meds! This is all so frustrating because of her poor choice of decision but I still don’t know what to do to avoid her return to the hospital 😢
I wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar disorder until I was 63. I lived and worked my life without knowing why I had manic and depressive symptoms. I went through two marriages unsuccessfully, I was dismissed from EVERY JOB I had. I hoarded a whole house full faced eviction Shunned by family and friends including church I now have meds to help even me out. My retirement, lonely. However, I spent most of my life alone, now I cannot go without meds
my impulsive actions, delusions of grandeur & mania were caused by my drug & alcohol consumption. i quit drinking & substances and no longer have those symptoms or mood swings. i kinda miss the manic phases because i felt like my life had purpose and i could accomplish anything, but i dont miss the depressed days that seemed to far outnumber the manic days.
His description of bipolar 1 is a 100% accurate representation of mania. My manic episodes historically have lasted for 3-6 months. It’s so exhilarating & I feel like I am capable of unlimited potential. Yes I have believed I need to save the world. I start new businesses & I take on simultaneous projects that I have no track record in completing. Then the mania ends. The magical neuro-chemical superpowers have depleted. The absolute terror now becomes realised that the original inspiration & motivation has actually been mostly delusional & grandiosity. It’s a living nightmare every time to experience the embarrassment & public humiliation that I create when having an episode. But the reality for me has been probably 20% mania versus 80% depression. Haunted by the destruction of a life in chaos. It’s a loneliness I wouldn’t wish on anyone. A vacuum & a void I can’t even describe. The depressive aspect of bipolarity is hard to survive. Thank you for the clarity in this video. I have stories to tell that can blow peoples minds with respect to my experiences in mania. Beautiful & magical, certainly not all bad or all delusional. But the most honest assessment is that this illness has devastated my life in every area possible over time. Medications are very effective for some people, but not for everyone, including myself. Sending my love to anyone else that suffers with bipolar disorder & also to the families & loved ones that have to carry the burden of a baffling reality they will never fully understand….❤️
Would like to know more about bipolar, one of my friends was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and I'd like to try to understand him and know how to treat him better
My prayers for those people experiencing bipolarity. I am glad we´ve raised awareness about this disorder which I faced for 12 years. I almost jumped off a bridge one time, but didn´t think I was going to die. I learned to watch my sleep and stress, and my diet. I simplified my life and became very appreciative of what the Lord gave me. My journal helped me to keep track of my feelings, thoughts, and emotions. There are more things we can do to improve our mental health. It´s not easy, but is possible to overcome it and lead a healthy life. My last episode was in 1999 and sometimes I miss my manic episodes. I only was 20 years old when I thought I could be the president of my country or do so many things. God bless all the psychiatrist and psychologists!
@@thenutritionalhealer7233 There are awareness campaigns for cancer, autism, and diabetes, so I hope we continue doing one for bipolarity. Knowledge is power!
A gorgeous prince charming who's a doctor with such soothing voice and genius! Hmmmm great deal!🤓♥️ Edit : Best part is he'll be helpful and patient with extreme mood swings!
Thank you very much, just found out my ex has bipolar disorder, it broke me I can’t believe it! I’m sorry for everything! Praying for god’s blessings for you all
I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder since I was 19 due to difficult childhood and constant bullying in school and since I’m 20 now I’ve been taking medicine for it
Thanks for sharing! I've been diagnosed with bipolar II, but it doesn't last "less than 4 days", as you told it after, there are moments lasting like a month or even more, mostly in depressive state. It's such an awfull thing (hard game sometimes to socialize, loosing friends, family sometimes...), I'm out of medication, my personal choice, and in fact medication was dampening all emotions and sucks out a lot of creativity, and the mind doesn't think as clear as we migh think while on it, loosing yourself slowly but surely. I'm feeling better now, without antipsychotics &Co. But that's just for me, sorry, I just wanted to point out the duration criteria.. All good people!
It is different for each person. He is correct in a lot of things. But there are so many different roads each persons mind takes. No one person is the same as the other. Depends on a lot of variables. Tbe beginning home life you had. Whether it is genetic in your family. Whether you had some sort of accident or brain damage. So many variables cone in to play. But first and formost, this is nothing to joke about. It is very, very, hard to live with. We need to show much more compassion. These people have a very hard life to get through. They need care and love and understanding. I know, I have bipolar II. With depression. Very rough. A constant struggle to make it through each day. With my wonderful meds my life has bern so much better for the last 40 years. Mine is a milder form, but I know people that nothing seems to help. So please show kindness and compassion. And stop joking or mislabeling people, it is not funny. Especially with the way society looks at this illness. This sickness cannot be helped. No one asks for this.You cannot just turn it on and off. God Bless.
@Rudy Campos wow, that seems like it would be utterly exhausting. I have a few questions if you don't mind and if I'm not being too intrusive? Did you know you were in a manic state during those 6 months for any or all of it, or do you rely on people letting you know how you are behaving? And what is it like when you come out of mania? Is it like a light switch and you are aware it's over all of a sudden or is it more gradual and unnoticeable? And are there triggers that can pull you in and out of mania?
I wasn't diagnosed properly until I was 50. two divorces, 15+ work places, every relationship I ever had ruined. Sold every house I owned on a whim. I really don't like it when people say they are so "creative" when manic. I left my profession as a RN and became a hypnotherapist. That episode lasted 8 months and I was on medication. Even with family telling me I wasn't thinking straight I did it anyway. I feel age more than anything has taught me to question everything I think.
Please address alcoholism in regards to bipolarism. I’m sober 43 continuous years Amanda hearing people new in sobriety are too often saying they are bipolar.
This was so helpful. My friend has this and I'm trying to understand it more. He rarely smiles and he overexerts himself trying to help everyone who comes in his path. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you.
Describing my husband. Suddenly his behaviors make sense. He described going days without sleep in elementary school! He had no idea this wasn't normal until I told him. He also thinks he is operating at his best during that time so he likes to kick it up a notch by drinking a pot of espresso strength coffee and using a can of dip per day. It is exhausting and brings me to the verge of divorce when he gets really bad.
Mental health isn't always about how we, ourselves feel. It's more often how we make others feel. If empathy is practiced, then it's not unreasonable to assure you're being your best self for one another. I'd break the ice and see a doctor, drag him along after you've established your situation.
@@gammalight1312 normally I would agree with you but we are talking about his acting like a child with access to the bank account. Like buying tires too big for his truck and cutting out the wheel wells so that when you are riding in it, you can see the pavement at your feet. Then getting hundreds of dollars in fines when he insists on driving it. And then painting it with turquoise house paint. He refuses to accept that there is anything wrong with him and absolutely will not go see a Dr.
Mybe some one is a little bit speedy now and think of sex moore then they should, take your meds just sayin hehe...i tend to do that when i'm getting hypo and skipped my medicin for sometime
So many things have been handed down in generations that were once not taught, or ignored. And still at some locals are, that when you go to obtain help, thy tell you, “you don’t need it”. And you are stunned and numbed.
That extensive high/euphoria and then the crash afterwards is like a binge alcoholic/addict and then the depressive crash/withdrawal afterwards. Very insightful on how the mind works.🤔

I don’t remember what year it was but I saw the news of a man who killed his wife after drinking coffee. He kept telling the police that every time he drank coffee he felt different. I worked with a person with bi-polar and it is very difficult many people quit their job and so did I. I never understood why she was never told not to come back to work. She lied a lot and manipulated many people and things. I never mistreated her in any way no matter what she did to me and others but I couldn’t continue to work there
@@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 Coffee includes caffeine which can affect your mania and worsen it negatively. It's best to regulate your intake of caffeine, or better not even take caffeine at all. And drinking is also detrimental.
@@micardorilos4030 GABA supplements, omega oils and vitamin D will also help. Stop
consuming caffeine, cigarettes, artificial sugar and don’t drink alcohol more then once or twice a week. Strict meditation/prayer will also grow your prefrontal lobe which is small in bipolar people.
@Haku Haru - You'll need to explore narcissism.
I was having so much suicidal thoughts 10 years ago as a teenage, also suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. I got diagnosed with bipolar, spent my whole life fighting bipolar. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
People have to STOP making fun of mental illness.

I am not telling you nothing you don't already know. When your in trouble reach your hand out. Never stop taking your medicine on your own. People do care. Stay safe!!!

I’ve lived with bipolar 1 for about 40 years now. It took a lot of destruction in my life to finally accept the diagnosis and reach out for help. With the right meds and therapy, I’m in a much better place now.

Sending u lots of love..❤❤..
@jayson phillips wtf? You're delusional
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 16. But what I do realize now that I'm older, lots of my lashing out & personality changes were definitely caused by my family in how the way they treated me.
Now that I'm older & have separated myself from the negativity I see how much happiness has came into my life, I love it. Most of the time you don't need to take medication, all you have to do is separate yourself from all the negative energy.
Definitely helps not bring around negative people who make things worse, I've turned into a unsocial recluse and finally feel better
By negativity do you mean to say thoughts?
@@AndreyaWryght how do you determine if a person is negative or not?
@@less2worryabout do they make you feel like trash? then they're probably negative
@@jerry-jx1rw I really don't know if trash feels anything or not so I will just assume you means thoughts? Thoughts can feel strange I guess.
*Dr. Sportelli speaks so compassionately for the people & intelligently about the condition, it shows true dedication on his side of things; using simplified terms & examples to inform. I learned a lot*
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

The symptoms you cite are characteristically Bipolar Type I, not Bipolar Type II.
@@signe8321 Your statement is vastly vague. Moreover, symptoms the commenter cites definitely can not be pigeonholed as personality disorder.

How did you treat yourself? How long does bipolar recovery take? Am asking cuz my sister has bipolar it’s 10 months now
Could be worse. For example depression all year around especially this one which is untreatable by pulls.
@@The4a.mhi. I'll answer you to your question. I'm bipolar 1 since almost 15y. I've been on depakine but I don't recommend it because most ppl gain weight, and I mean A LOT. The best is lithium but... You must take blood tests for it's level at least once a month ( I do it every 2, but I'm not I'll since yesterday so my doc appointment are also every 2 months because of that). Lithium is also bad for thyroid so you must also take pills for that and blood tests. Those pills are annoying because you must take them before eating and other pills 1h or 0,5h before. You can take them 4h after last meal also. On lithium you eat also other pills like mood stabilizers, antipsychotics ( if you have them), anti anxiety pills if needed etc. It's very, very important to take pills to shield liver and vitamins like vit. D, omega 3,6,9. Also check vit. D levels in your blood. What to do? Sleep is veeeery important. Take pills at the same time and go to sleep, wake up at the same time no matter what. DO NOT allow yourself to sleep all day long because depression will be worse and will last longer. Observe yourself: what causes mania and depression. There is good app for android called emoods made for ppl with bipolar. You can adjust it to your need for example when you have short mania and depression episodes and add to this app bookmark how you feel in the morning, evening and afternoon. It's very nice app, you can show results to doctor and it'll help your sis to understand this illness and herself better. If your sis gained some weight already she can drink before eating water with lemon or apple vinegar ( it'll stop a little bit hunger after all the medication). Routine is important. Hobby also helps. In depression the minute she realizes she have suicidal thoughts she must switch to doing something funny ( comedy movies, happy music etc.) Those things helps in general in depression. She cannot stay in bed for 16 hours but... She won't be able to do it on her own. She MUST go for walks, even short ones everyday especially when depressed. Exercises also helps because they will give her endorphins ( happy hormones) and chocolate. If she drinks coffee she also must take pills for it because coffees can make depression worse. The are also antidepression lamps but you must be aware of fake ones and they can be quite costly. The higher mania the lower depression ( there's price for it). In mania ideally if someone would check her because she can have stupid ideas like quit school and start another one. But she can also have great ideas but too much of them so it'll be good if someone will be there for her and help her not only have the idea but also make it and finish it because finishing is hart because of all of those ideas and trust me they can be plenty of them. Once in night I had more than 50. I didn't make them reality because there was too many of them. In mania use this energy to make ideas reality ( not those stupid ones), make order after the haos of depression etc. Your family MUST be aware that not only suicidal thoughts are dangerous but also mixed state when you have depression and mania at the same time because during this time you want to kill yourself and don't feel fear at all and many ppl don't kill themselves because of the fear of pain. In this time you don't have it so it's very, very dangerous. She cannot drink and take drugs ( things will go way worse with it). She also must avoid energy drinks because they can cause mania. Itll be nice if she will find doctor who has access to mental hospital near her because if something ambulance will take her close to home so family can bring her stuff. She must ask other patients about opinion about this doctor also. I hope I gave you all answers you wanted. Ahh. I forgot: therapy. Also smartwatch helps a lot because it tracks sleep and activity which is very important during depression. There are apps which exchange steps into money that you can donate to good cause - will help with motivation. Also what can't sleep because of mania or hipomania use music for sleep. Read before bed and other things which helps with sleep. In depression avoid internet because it almost LITERALLY sucks life out of ppl. Edit: ( again) - ppl with mental health problems have focus and memory problems so she needs to work on that too. There are mnemo techniques, books with excersizes and apps.
"Being upset doesn't mean you have bipolar disorder." No one should make a diagnose without a careful research. Psyciatrists in Argentina would say you are depressed when you just need money to eat and be treated like a human. You cannot judge somone after being one day with them. Mental health needs better awareness. Also, having insomnia doesn't mean you are bipolar. It means you are living with high levels of stress
Dr. Sportelli comes across as such a gentleman, his voice, appearance, dress and ability to describe the illness, much like a Mr. Rogers. This is a compliment. How many of us felt such a peace and hope when we visited Mr. Rogers as children. Especially those whose family life was less than stable or safe.

So honestly I’m happy that I’ve found this discussion seriously. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I and I’ve been so in denial as of the doctors misdiagnosed me. As I listened to Dr. Sportelli go over the examples I couldn’t help but see myself doing similar things.
This video has helped me raise the awareness of my bipolar disorder, thanks for sharing!
It's difficult to talk about social issues sometimes. I'm not comfortable when people have different opinions on those issues.
I love how Kyle always asks the questions we are thinking!!
All of my life I've struggled with depression and anxiety. I also experience episodes of mania. I've always known that there was something going on with my mental health, but I never had the courage to reach out for help. Once I did, I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and everything made sense. I was actually relieved to know that I was right all along, but also, I felt ashamed because the stigma attached to mental health disorders. Working with my BHC has helped a lot. She helps me walk through the process of managing Bipolar disorder. She also is very open and understanding to my emotions of transitioning into this state of mind that accepts that I do have Bipolar Disorder. That, more than anything, helped me feel comfortable enough to continue reaching out for help. I can't stress enough, if you know there is something off with your mental health, find the courage within you to reach out for help. It may be hard and scary to do so, but it is a necessary step towards progress. I heard a lot of people make fun of Bipolar Disorder, and that needs to stop. Don't be ashamed of having a mental health disordered, instead, take the necessary steps toward managing them, and teach people who have narrow minds about the topic along the way.
Well said. Glad youre taking charge. No shame.
I have injuries from a Cadillac Escalade smacking into me. cracked my head open. long boring ugly story short. Im still injured. Thats what happens when you're on medical.

Take GABA supplements, omega oils and eat a healthy diet. Try and not consume too much caffeine or artificial sugars. No nicotine especially cigarettes. Ice cold water on the nerves that run behind your ears and down your neck will stop a manic episode. I can give you more info with stuff I’ve done to give me way more stability. I’ve done a lot of studying and I live without the use of Meds and am doing much better all around.
Research more. It's not.
@@ft-sd6ux tell me all about it? At first were you on medication At any point?
@@Nancy-ow9wy Yes I was very briefly on them but wasn’t consistent over the two month period I took them. The one I took worked very well but I was kind of afraid of potential side effects like it slowing me down in running or losing my hair. I have type 2 bipolar and I knew that a lot of my depression stemmed from a physical injury that I had for many years but was able to fix once I saved up the money. Brain structure even down to a cellular level is different in bipolar people. I think it can be managed with the right knowledge and many young people with the illness can avoid life changing mistakes if the stigma wasn’t there and people without the illness were also educated about it.
I went almost 6 months in mania. I bought 2 new cars, married with 2 kids and I moved out , switched jobs twice, slept maybe 2 hours per night, and the list goes on…. I got onto mood stabilizers and it was a light switch that turned my manic phase off. I liked being in mania but my life around me was a constant train wreck. My life is mostly back to normal with my family and friends support.

Just got diagnosed Bipolar I today. Trying to learn as much as I can. ✌ This is one of the best I've found. It's so perfect.
I've lived with bipolar depression for about 15 years, everyday seems like a challenge but I've learned to deal with my faults
They aren't faults it's not our fault its trauma and the evil people who hurt children I e myself x
Are you on medication?
I have bipolar 1. I started at 20 yrs old & am now 65. In my 40's, I actually thought I was much more beautiful than all the super models. I am 5'2" & had given birth to 3 children :/ Because of the tings I did during that full blown mania that hurt my family so bad, is when I crashed, I did DIE by suicide because of the guilt. I was in a coma. It is hell, & there is no cure, BUT I keep working on this, "ONE DAY AT A TIME."
♡♡♡♡ Sending love
@@SuzanneDeniseB thank U so much lovely lady. HA! when they say 7 days or more. I have been in this for 45 yrs. But I keep on keeping on :/
@@donnastitz1497 good for you ♡♡♡
@@SuzanneDeniseB thank U ! I really appreciate your reply :)

I have lived with BP for 24 ish years. It has been a roller coaster. This Covid and working form home has reeked havoc on my mind and soul to say the least. Glad I cam across this video tho. Thank you
Me also with covid. 3o years with bp1 mixed episodes
Also if you can check out Polar Worriers Trey is awesome with BP issues.
U got this
I dated a man first time in my life being bipolar! I could never figure him out, he tired my brain and my emotions! So I started pulling back, not showing much emotion one way or the other when he was around and finally he left town, but I wasted a lot of years. Love bombing which u call grandiose, look at me I’m the greatest guy on earth! I was lucky, he left me a dear Jane letter taped to my door left town and have not heard one peep from him in 9 months. I feel sorry for people who have bipolar, and I feel sorry for the people who get caught up In Their drama. Tu so much for explaining, it was a very good! God bless everyone out there.
As someone w Bipolar I, it is near impossible to sustain a "normal" life. I've ruined my life over a dozen times during manic episodes. I take my meds every day but there are certain triggers that set me off. I've tried so hard to stay stable (meds, therapy, treatment) but it's terrifying that I can go into a manic episode and not really know it until I come out of it. It's so heavy. And then there comes the depression...
God bless you sister hope god starting healing you from your pain and sister i do not now you but rember that some part of world there is person who payer for you begin strong sister
I have bi polar 1 am married have a child and have been working for 25 years I have had several hospital admissions but over all able to pick myself up love the highs at the moment steady have my depressing days
Bipolar 2 here. Good on you for keeping consistent with the meds and treatment. If you aren't already exercising, become addicted to exercise. It has helped me so much. Start journaling. What are the mania triggers? Do they happen randomly or is there some correlation you can find? Could be eating unhealthy for a week gets you into an episode the next week (random example). When I have a manic episode, try to take advantage of the small "benefits"! Clean the house, go on a walk, and get together those clothes you've been meaning to donate to goodwill. Embrace the suck! All jokes aside, I hope you are doing well, I feel your pain, and just keep chugging along. Lost many friends, jobs, addiction issues, etc... myself but now use it as motivation to say Fu*k you to this illness by living a better life. Need to stop watching so much youtube though haha.
Edit. Eat healthily and get quality sleep. Invest in your health. You got this
👍
I get hypomanic. My mother is full blown bipolar & my daughter is bipolar. I spent so much energy not acknowledging my issues because of the stigma but encouraged my daughter to get professional help. I’ve screwed up a lot of things & lost touch with reality - that’s scary. Damn
Normal People -the majority - supported the Holocaust and chased witches. They are proofen to be racist and they ignore the homeless and the sick on the street. They kill this whole planet because all they are interested in is money and power and themselves. Since when it is desirable to be normal like that and is it a good thing to be good with money when capitalism is a force of universal destruction?
Finally a decent Bipolar Disorder video. THANK YOU!
Once I got diagnosed as Bipolar 2 by a psychiatrist and another one diagnosed me as having ADHD. Psychiatrists are totally subjective when it comes to diagnosing.
YES. If there is a ever a critter whose judgemental subjectivity I'd never want to be on the other side of again, (after only one horror experience) it would be a psychiatrists. Ignorant pill pushers for whatever pharma gang is in charge of them. Try and find a psychologist or therapist who you like and who likes you.
Because Mental illness is not real, it's fake, pharmaceutical companies and the government created mental illness to sell drugs and control the population
Do ADHD & BPD have any similarities? How to differentiate?
There's no such thing as ADHD or Bi-polar, please stop being brainwashed by the pharmaceutical companies and the government
There are always comic.bid disorders. For research purposes and for more detailed studies on these subjects such labels are essential. Then don't call diabetes as diabetes , just call " High blood sugar." Remember ICD 10 or whatever number now. Labels are essential like one's own name.
He's right about the differences between 1 and 2. I'm 2, there's times when I'm having mania and depression at the same time.
Sportelli is amazing....worked with him at the hospital
You are beautiful 😍
I've got Bipolar 1. Was diagnosed at the beginning of this year, but suspecting for years. I'm currently in a manic state (luckily medicated and managed), and I have been in this state since around the end of May. Over a month of little sleep and constantly changing schedules, grandiose or wild ideas for careers or life plans/lifestyles, getting hyper-focused and obsessed with a bunch of things and doing research on them as if it were my full-time job, and extreme moods like you wouldn't believe. This video is spot on.
It's sad that this isn't extremely common knowledge by now. Bipolar isn't a difficult illness to understand and yet casually drop the word mania in convo and people look at you like they're a new born baby deer. It takes all of 10 minutes of reading or watching a video to put two and two together and figure out what its about, people just want it out of sight and out of mind like they do with the homeless. It's going to be a long road for society to come to terms with mental illnesses while not blatantly discriminating and stigmatizing. I was diagnosed in 99 and can honestly tell you in many ways the psych field and general public have gone backward since then.
I know some people experiencing a similar thing with their therapy options. Can you share what options you are considering next?
THANK YOU!
It definitely feels like we’re going backwards
Joe Sayward, thank you for sharing your experience.
I agree. And it’s becoming more common for people to throw around the term ‘bipolar’ in an insulting fashion. I hear it used in my workplace - for stupid things.. like if someone changes their mind they’re ‘being bipolar’ - it’s irks me no end.
You explained that really well doc. I have been diagnosed with bipolar I in my younger years, but now I’m more bipolar II because of more depressive episodes.
This is so damn relatable. I confused being a maniac with the symptoms of falling in love dor the first time. I didn’t feel the need to sleep, felt like a superhuman, wouldn’t sit even once in the entire day. I felt sooo much so that I wanted to talk to some Doctor for being so high and so happy. At times, I wont be able to read even a single paragraph from any book.
Did u have depression after that???
Finally, someone that makes it easy to understand what bipolar disorder is! Love his explanations.
Thank you so much for this educational video! The distinction between 1 and 2 is SO IMPORTANT, simply because the treatment method and approach will be completely different. Kudos!
Thank you so much for this, my dad is JUST like this and it was such an eye opener. As a young child and even now, he would promise all these things to me but would never fulfill them. He would create these businesses too (i think like three or four) to the point where he would put so much money into a “business” that when he gives up, he would fall into the depression stage and wouldn’t provide for my brother and I. He would also (and still does) tell me that God spoke to him. For instance, once he was dating this one girl from a different country and when he went to meet her in person for the first time, he proposed to her (they only knew each other for two months) on a mountain (according to him) and claimed that God spoke to him in that moment. They never ended up getting married which is what i expected though. I love my dad of course but i just wanted to share my personal experiences and thank Medcircle for making this video.
I’m just like your dad. I have a 7 year old daughter. I hope that she understands like you do. We love you but there’s a lot of things we can’t help doing.
I hope your situation & relationship with your father has improved
I love this channel. Thank you so much for the variety of content and the professionals who make it so easy to understand for those not in the field 🙏💜🙏
Me too.
Please do more on this topic. Thank you so much for this information.
You can really sense the intense love and interest he has for his profession. He's young enough still that he hasn't gotten jaded from all the craziness he witnessed in his job. My hat's off to this doc! He absolutely seems to LOVE what he does!!😎😎
i’m very sorry for those who are dealing with mental health problems. i am also suffering from PTSD and panic disorder for many years. i can feel their pain. may Allah bless them. 💜
Thank goodness they have done one on bipolar disorder, I was diagnosed with bipolar before I turned 20 I’m now 21 with a baby and I am stable for now
Happy for you
I just learned that my aunt had bipolar disorder and no one had ever told me about it. I think she would be embarrassed to talk about it. I had noticed a few times where she was just in a hard place, and now I see where this disorder may have affected her. I never knew or suspected that she had bipolar disorder, but now I feel better that I know more about it.
He looks like Prince Eric of The Little Mermaid!!😍😍😍
Wow he really does
Thank you for explaining bipolar disorder so well and in the language that people can understand
Sure. This is great video on Bipolar Disorder. If you want to know more about the the topic including lived-experiences , personal stories and coping up mechanisms applied by different people, you can visit this spot and stay educated bipolardisorderwarriortips.blogspot.com
I have learned a lot from this, I didn't know exactly what pibolar disease was until I watched this video. This is one of the greatest videos I have watched.
I have never heard anyone explain it so well.very clear explanations.thank
God I came across this video.
I shared this with my fellow AMFT's and clinical supervisor. I think this is the best explanation for bipolar d/o I've seen or heard in a while.
Diagnosed BP2 in my late teens. Have tried countless meds, treatments..ect for 30 years with very little relief. You just come to a point where you live with it
Side note...every med I tried put me right into mania. Out of control behavior and thoughts with ZERO thought or care of the consequences. Completely opposite of my normal personality.
Yes. Same age, same crazy pill pushing. Same narrowly missed horrific consequences of crazy behaviour I'd never have done otherwise. Some very dangerous drugs around, legally! You just live and endure it, stay out of trouble. Every day starts with the battle.
Same I just deal with it there meds make you where y cant think and fill high
Thanks a million for the explanation of this mental disorder! My 51 years old daughter is suffering from this disease for the past 11 years, almost every year she has to go back to the psychiatric wing at the hospital because she quits taking her meds and every year the hospital has to adjust her meds! This is all so frustrating because of her poor choice of decision but I still don’t know what to do to avoid her return to the hospital 😢
as a person who has bipolar 1 disorder it’s so hard for me to understand my own mental illness, this video worded how i feel/think perfectly.
I wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar disorder until I was 63.
I lived and worked my life without knowing why I had manic and depressive symptoms.
I went through two marriages unsuccessfully, I was dismissed from EVERY JOB I had. I hoarded a whole house full faced eviction
Shunned by family and friends including church
I now have meds to help even me out.
My retirement, lonely. However, I spent most of my life alone, now I cannot go without meds
I'm sending you lots of love. You'll find redemption!!!
my impulsive actions, delusions of grandeur & mania were caused by my drug & alcohol consumption. i quit drinking & substances and no longer have those symptoms or mood swings. i kinda miss the manic phases because i felt like my life had purpose and i could accomplish anything, but i dont miss the depressed days that seemed to far outnumber the manic days.
He did an excellent job describing the difference with bipolar and other states of being as well as the 2 types of bipolar.
His description of bipolar 1 is a 100% accurate representation of mania. My manic episodes historically have lasted for 3-6 months. It’s so exhilarating & I feel like I am capable of unlimited potential. Yes I have believed I need to save the world. I start new businesses & I take on simultaneous projects that I have no track record in completing.
Then the mania ends.
The magical neuro-chemical superpowers have depleted.
The absolute terror now becomes realised that the original inspiration & motivation has actually been mostly delusional & grandiosity.
It’s a living nightmare every time to experience the embarrassment & public humiliation that I create when having an episode.
But the reality for me has been probably 20% mania versus 80% depression.
Haunted by the destruction of a life in chaos.
It’s a loneliness I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
A vacuum & a void I can’t even describe.
The depressive aspect of bipolarity is hard to survive.
Thank you for the clarity in this video.
I have stories to tell that can blow peoples minds with respect to my experiences in mania.
Beautiful & magical, certainly not all bad or all delusional.
But the most honest assessment is that this illness has devastated my life in every area possible over time.
Medications are very effective for some people, but not for everyone, including myself.
Sending my love to anyone else that suffers with bipolar disorder & also to the families & loved ones that have to carry the burden of a baffling reality they will never fully understand….❤️
Well said ♥️
Thanks, I feel like you described my life!
I am reading this in tears, as you have somehow eloquently summed up my 27 years on this planet. GOD SPEED
Same but mine is religious delusions and some might be true
thats Bipolar 2 but yeah
Would like to know more about bipolar, one of my friends was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and I'd like to try to understand him and know how to treat him better
Watch Dr. Tracey Marks channel. Maybe her videos can help you. 💡
Almost myself, you're a good friend.
You’re one hell of a good friend 👍
Thank you so much for posting this, please do more on mania and psychosis and please perhaps touch on mixed episodes, thank you!
My prayers for those people experiencing bipolarity. I am glad we´ve raised awareness about this disorder which I faced for 12 years. I almost jumped off a bridge one time, but didn´t think I was going to die. I learned to watch my sleep and stress, and my diet. I simplified my life and became very appreciative of what the Lord gave me. My journal helped me to keep track of my feelings, thoughts, and emotions. There are more things we can do to improve our mental health. It´s not easy, but is possible to overcome it and lead a healthy life. My last episode was in 1999 and sometimes I miss my manic episodes. I only was 20 years old when I thought I could be the president of my country or do so many things. God bless all the psychiatrist and psychologists!
@@thenutritionalhealer7233 There are awareness campaigns for cancer, autism, and diabetes, so I hope we continue doing one for bipolarity. Knowledge is power!

Great explanation and analogies. I'm sharing this. I was diagnosed with BP1 at 19. I'm 39 now. It's been a long journey.
Thank you very much, just found out my ex has bipolar disorder, it broke me I can’t believe it! I’m sorry for everything! Praying for god’s blessings for you all
I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder since I was 19 due to difficult childhood and constant bullying in school and since I’m 20 now I’ve been taking medicine for it
This is so informative. Thank you.
Episodes can persist for months... It is hard to come back to life after living so high up.
Thanks for sharing!
I've been diagnosed with bipolar II, but it doesn't last "less than 4 days", as you told it after, there are moments lasting like a month or even more, mostly in depressive state.
It's such an awfull thing (hard game sometimes to socialize, loosing friends, family sometimes...), I'm out of medication, my personal choice, and in fact medication was dampening all emotions and sucks out a lot of creativity, and the mind doesn't think as clear as we migh think while on it, loosing yourself slowly but surely.
I'm feeling better now, without antipsychotics &Co.
But that's just for me, sorry, I just wanted to point out the duration criteria..
All good people!
True the depressive period can last for months or even years!
It is different for each person. He is correct in a lot of things. But there are so many different roads each persons mind takes. No one person is the same as the other. Depends on a lot of variables. Tbe beginning home life you had. Whether it is genetic in your family. Whether you had some sort of accident or brain damage. So many variables cone in to play. But first and formost, this is nothing to joke about. It is very, very, hard to live with. We need to show much more compassion. These people have a very hard life to get through. They need care and love and understanding. I know, I have bipolar II. With depression. Very rough. A constant struggle to make it through each day. With my wonderful meds my life has bern so much better for the last 40 years. Mine is a milder form, but I know people that nothing seems to help. So please show kindness and compassion. And stop joking or mislabeling people, it is not funny. Especially with the way society looks at this illness. This sickness cannot be helped. No one asks for this.You cannot just turn it on and off. God Bless.
@Rudy Campos wow, that seems like it would be utterly exhausting. I have a few questions if you don't mind and if I'm not being too intrusive? Did you know you were in a manic state during those 6 months for any or all of it, or do you rely on people letting you know how you are behaving? And what is it like when you come out of mania? Is it like a light switch and you are aware it's over all of a sudden or is it more gradual and unnoticeable? And are there triggers that can pull you in and out of mania?
@Rudy Campos Oh man, that sounds awful. I hope you're doing much better now 🌷
@@willothewispl Please share with me what "wonderful meds" you are taking.
I wasn't diagnosed properly until I was 50. two divorces, 15+ work places, every relationship I ever had ruined.
Sold every house I owned on a whim. I really don't like it when people say they are so "creative" when manic. I left my profession as a RN and became a hypnotherapist. That episode lasted 8 months and I was on medication. Even with family telling me I wasn't thinking straight I did it anyway. I feel age more than anything has taught me to question everything I think.
Please address alcoholism in regards to bipolarism. I’m sober 43 continuous years Amanda hearing people new in sobriety are too often saying they are bipolar.
This was so helpful. My friend has this and I'm trying to understand it more. He rarely smiles and he overexerts himself trying to help everyone who comes in his path. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you.
It sucks, but day by day and praying helps 🙏🏻
Describing my husband. Suddenly his behaviors make sense. He described going days without sleep in elementary school! He had no idea this wasn't normal until I told him. He also thinks he is operating at his best during that time so he likes to kick it up a notch by drinking a pot of espresso strength coffee and using a can of dip per day. It is exhausting and brings me to the verge of divorce when he gets really bad.
Mental health isn't always about how we, ourselves feel. It's more often how we make others feel.
If empathy is practiced, then it's not unreasonable to assure you're being your best self for one another.
I'd break the ice and see a doctor, drag him along after you've established your situation.
Your life is too short to play psychology with your husband. Get divorced and live your life to the fullest!
@@gammalight1312 normally I would agree with you but we are talking about his acting like a child with access to the bank account. Like buying tires too big for his truck and cutting out the wheel wells so that when you are riding in it, you can see the pavement at your feet. Then getting hundreds of dollars in fines when he insists on driving it. And then painting it with turquoise house paint. He refuses to accept that there is anything wrong with him and absolutely will not go see a Dr.

Mybe some one is a little bit speedy now and think of sex moore then they should, take your meds just sayin hehe...i tend to do that when i'm getting hypo and skipped my medicin for sometime
So many things have been handed down in generations that were once not taught, or ignored. And still at some locals are, that when you go to obtain help, thy tell you, “you don’t need it”. And you are stunned and numbed.
That extensive high/euphoria and then the crash afterwards is like a binge alcoholic/addict and then the depressive crash/withdrawal afterwards. Very insightful on how the mind works.🤔
