- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, encompasses a spectrum of severity where individuals experience extreme mood swings between manic and depressive episodes. Lesser-known aspects include mixed episodes, rapid cycling, and a potential link between the disorder and creativity. Diagnosis delays are common due to symptom complexity and stigma, despite its strong genetic component. Physical health implications, seasonal patterns, and medication challenges highlight the multifaceted nature of managing bipolar disorder, alongside the importance of lifestyle management. Tailored treatment plans and professional support are essential for individuals navigating this complex condition.

I have found that being taken off my meds confirms my diagnosis.
Same!
Me too!!!
Thank you for posting this, Dr. Fox! :)
I especially appreciate your explanation of how our symptoms affect our judgment in ways that can lead to us discontinuing our meds. Friends and family who are willing to hold us accountable are worth their weight in gold!
Thank you Dr. Fox you are so right about everything. It's so very true. Thank you for being honest with us.
You are so smart. I bet you are great with your patients
Love the videos! It would be interesting to know the difference between bipolar and ADHD. Seems there's alot of overlap of symptoms
I've got comorbid ADHD and Type II Bipolar Disorder. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in early childhood and sometimes resolves itself as the brain develops, but Bipolar Disorder is a chronic disease that can start at any point and requires treatment for the rest of your life. ADHD responds well to stimulant medications, but Bipolar Disorder needs mood stabilizers and antidepressants, and sometimes antipsychotics. Without medication, both disorders make me buy too much stuff and dramatically increase my likelihood of getting hit by a bus, lol.
Thank you for a video with interesting information. There are so many videos by others on YT that just talk about the basic info.
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. I wish you well.
I have Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Type
When I was diagnosed with BPD/Bipolar I have been struggling with suicidal ideation every day
Dr Fox, THANK YOU.
I think gambling should be added to alcohol and drugs. Slots ate my drug of choice.
Dr. Fox in the House!
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very informative.
Thank you Dr. Fox.
Do you have experience or opinion of treating mental health issues with alternative treatments over pharmaceuticals?
I was diagnosed with bipolar at 17 after a psychotic break that landed me in an inpatient psych ward. I believe the break came as a result of trauma.
I am now 64, thank God med free and finally am learning how trauma affected my brain.
I am beyond blessed!!
It's great to hear that you're doing well and finding ways to manage your mental health. Keep up the positive mindset!
@@DrDanielFox Thank you Dr. Fox!
i got schizo med from my dock, i for sure thank her, im more stupid then ever... i feel so better without.. fml , but once you get used to it, its something that you never feel alone... for sure.(im type1)
I think that part about not while 8nder the influence is not so balck and white ... expecully with mj...... alot of peole including myself arnt high when in therapy .... and can still say that there reactions happen even whej not under in influence...... it's bad to not diagnosis while peole use because sometimes the treatment will help them get off the drugs...... as a bpd person my meds were what helped me beabke to use my skills.... I do think we need to find a more conducive way to treat peole as once I stopped using meth often to almost never my antidepressant had to be changed or stopped as it caused me to have more panic attacks .... and I read later efrexor is used with recovering meth use ..... but to belive you can't diagnosis whej someone is using is still not helpful .... though I do think you have tk be more strick on how you diagnosis
I have manic episodes that last 3 to 4 weeks
Bullying harmful and dangerous acts
😮some of these medications are deadly
@@victoriaa.993Jesus Christ will help you too. Read John 3 and Romans, Corinthians, and the other epistles of Paul.
You're right these medicines are not good for you at all.
