Manic State Bipolar Patient Interview Manic Depression 

I think her interview is of a normal behavior. Doctors are just wanting to get money for drugs being prescribed for 'fake' reasons. She is also somewhat elderly. Just a scam for patient's to pay for doctor medical school.

Who also said she is a grandmother or a wife except herself?

ElephantDog , the doctor interviewing her had been trained to recognize the symptoms.

jim olson , mental illness isn’t “holding it together”. Untrained unprofessional people are quick to judge.....with distrust for the professionals.

@@elephantdog3471 How do you think this is normal?

❤️agreed

I'm too bipolar we are people that just want to live our lives.

WE ARE PEOPLE ,SEE US NOT OUR ILLNESS. WE DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL THE NEED TO BE ACCEPTED OR MAKE EXCUSES FOR WHO WE ARE. WE NEVER ASKED TO BE BORN WITH BIPOLAR, IT'S NOT A CHOICE ITS A DIFFERENT DESTINATION TO THE ONE WE EXPECTED. DEAL WITH IT.... LIKE WE DEAL WITH IT. XXX 🦾

I think majority of ppl are bi-polar. It's so common, u can't even tell most of the time someone has it. This lady is going through a manic psychosis. She is in lala land, telling stories about her doctor about himself when he was a child. . And she didn't know him as a child.

You are not monstrous at all....Dont even think of it...you are more braver and more courageous than any else....Thats why this disorder is given yo you...To fight For that type of opponent by god..keep it up....keep on fighting...dear.

VERY true

Well said

I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar 2 at 55 years old. I have been in this state for my entire life Not Knowing what was wrong with me. I'm happy to have a name for it but I don't want it.

Actually, we don't know that. Not at all. There is so far zero evidence that mental illness is genetic. The only thing we do know for sure, is that inconsistent or unstable parenting, creates impulsiveness and emotional disregulation. In order to acquire mood regulation, we have to see it modelled by our carers in early childhood.

My story is similar. It's a relief to know it's not entirely my fault.

Girl, you hang with weird crowds.

You need a different circle of friends perhaps?

Calmer? Or...more calm.

I agree. She does.

She really seemed so nervous, just like someone would under a microscope. Her entire demeanor changed when she realized she was being filmed with the whole crew watching. One has to keep in mind that they are constantly policing their behavior in order to show their doctors and nurses that they are indeed well and normal enough to get out of the institution. Becoming overly anxious with a sudden surprise like this can throw them off kilter, causing them to talk and overtalk nervously. Later, the person will be in their room, cussing themselves out for running their mouths and exposing themselves. Her single objective is to convince everyone through her behavior and her measured speech, which show the sanity of the mind, that she certainly does not belong and must be sent home. This is a prison whether anyone sees it that way or not. She cannot leave until she's well, and she will treat every interaction, especially with the doctor, as a parole interview. It breeds paranoia to watch and guard every thought and action so that you may taste freedom and see your family again.

Yes

White people are not oppressed, and never have been, and certainly aren't misunderstood. We all understand their inherent supremacy. Stop.

My heart was breaking for her. What a beautiful soul

Blessings to you Sis🫂💜✨ I learned a lot from this about my Grandmother as well. I pray you have had abundant Peace🕊️ & Joy🧖‍♀️ 👵❤️‍🩹🌻🦋🪔💟☯️☪️☦️🛐♾️⚛️⚛️

I am grateful that this gave you some understanding. I have been told that BiPolar is hereditary. I think my mother had it but we didn't know about things like that back then. Apparently I have it so I am learning the triggers of the Manic side of it. I have been depressed my whole life so I know those syptoms all to well. Keep an eye on yourself and get a good therapist if you have any trouble understanding what is going on with you.

I believe we all can be diagnosed with something or another

If your grandmother had it, you might have it also, but are in denial. Certainly some of your progeny will inherit it. That is if you have any progeny.

Brendan Duffy Yes. It’s like pure torture, there’s still a lot of stigma associated with mental health issues.

I try and change my perspective and tell myself I would be not have the personality and relationships I do today unless I had bipolar. It's just a part of who I am.

Or, it is a gift.

naryainc it fucking isn’t

It’s robbed me of my freedom of my own mind

💙💙💜💜🤎

kiran Lee ray Can I ask what it is like to live with a husband with bipolar?

you are a gift to him

I’m the bi polar husband in my relationship. Your husband may not say it often enough, but he appreciates your love and help and understanding. He knows where he would be without you.

You have unconditional love for him . That's hard to find . God bless you two 😉!

This is why my daughter often shouts she feels unheard

As a child and very young adult I lied a lot. I learned that I picked this up as a coping mechanism because my mom was violent and I had to always be a step ahead of her or attempt to know what she wanted to hear. I wasn't allowed to be an atominous person. I had to be an extension of her in order to survive day to day, without serious repercussions . I carried that into my young adult relationships and friendships and it ruined relationships. I couldn't even understand why I was lying all the time until my late 20s.

Your discription is accurate, despite I am from germany.

I went to the Hospital for a week a couple of yrs. back and the 1 .nurse was so nasty. I noticed that things were moved around in the night table next to the bed, also papers that I had written some of my feelings down about what was going on in there and it was gone! I was searching for the papers, they were gone!! This strange scared feeling came over me that there were camera's in the Ceiling and they were watching everything we did. So I went out to the big room where the patients sat. When I went back the papers were put back in there and I knew damn well they had been in and out of there but I wouldn't mention it to them because I thought, that they say I was paranoid or something like that. When a patient who frequent the hospital told me don't sleep too much or you'll labeled as being depressed and if you can't sleep just lay there at night and pretend you're sleeping or they'll report to the doctor some other diagnosis. They listened to my phone calls and I knew it! My friend call & the phone was right at the nurse's station and I could tell that they were aggravated by having to keep calling me to come to the phone. Then I had another call and then another one & another one and I was saying things to my friend about what was going on in the place she said watch what you say because they're listening to your calls so that was not my imagination! the one day and I heard the nurse say to the other one, there's nothing wrong with this one she's just here for a vacation! O I had good laugh!. Some of the patients were so doped up it was sad to see. Although I wish I would have been because I was a nervous wreck! they took my meds and wouldn't give me what I normally took for my chronic anxiety, severe panic attacks. I don't know why they weren't giving me what I normally took..... it took all I had to keep it together bc I was scared they'd keep me there! 😩🤯 I was told they can't keep you against your will so since I had signed myself in and no one was my power of attorney. I coudn't trust my 2 kids, my daughter didn't even live at home for many years, and wouldn't believe me when I'd tell her of the mental abuse my son, still living at home w/me was pulling on me every day! He lied about me terribly to her. He'd steal my meds and sell. I was soo scared being there, thankful it's over with. I got my son out of my house and have been 80% better, mentally!! Does anyone here remember old black & white movie "Snake- pit" ? 🥵

@Jack Bellamy omg you're so right!! They were the worst of the worst, I only remember one kind lady, she never disturbed us, she was always so helpful and kind

@@badabing9143 sounds like you had a horrific stay there. I can absolutely relate to all you are saying, they take over your mind in these places, drug you up or withhold your medications, just to see how long it takes for you to crack. I argued with a bitch of a nurse once, who tried to make me take medications that were not mine and I was locked on a padded cell for 18 hours. She told the Dr I was threatening, abusive and violent and when I called her a liar, and told him about the meds, he called me a liar. You just have to learn their behaviour, dodge their antics, ignore their taunts and then play them at their own game. I did with a few fellow patients and by god we had great fun taking the piss out of them 😂😂

@@murielhughes1060 what sleeping tablets are they? I can’t sleep at all, so need some, but doctors just will not give them out. They say fresh air and exercise…but I have my own small gardening business so get plenty. I’d buy them from you if you had them. It’s driving me insane. Not psychotics or antidepressants etc though lol.

I have bipolar disorder 2. I see myself in this woman. This is hypomania. Like not as severe as bipolar disorder 1, which may be what the lady you knew had. Mania and its effects can be devastating. 😔

@@TeeHeejab You are not alone Sis💜🫂✨

@@TeeHeejab Definitely, she had bipolar 1. I was once misdiagnosed as bipolar 2 myself but found out years later it was hyper-adrenic POTS instead.

Don’t air the dirty laundry. It’s fear of what comes up..and then...what to do with it...I know someone in that...I can’t help them..when a doctor tried to help...her mother stepped in to insure she never opened up....I believe the mother was a sociopath....so many lies...and yet helped the daughter so she would feel too loyal to tell the secrets. I think drugs and booze can really seem like they help..but suppress the condition. Trauma, and emotional trauma usually is behind most conditions according Dr Sam Vatkin..he is on you tube with amazing insights. Yes, it’s heart breaking. 💖

Yes, didn’t it seem like he wanted her to be ill?

Absolutely 💫

You know nothing of this subject. He is a doctor, he is now showing the disease, it's the entire purpose of the video. These people need help, you are the one gaslighting them if you deny their problems and their need for help.

I feel this quite deeply. I’ve been out of work since June 2020, and spent most of the last two years isolated with my 3 sons, and only relatively recently have they been able to go back to full-time school. I go weeks sometimes without talking to anyone other than my children, so I get into my thoughts a lot. Sometimes when I go grocery shopping I start talking a bit too much to whoever is around, and leave feeling embarrassed and wondering if they see me as some frantic lady. Being a mother can be so incredibly lonesome, especially without a partner or parents nearby.

She’s dead. Probably 80 years now. And east clearly full manic. It’s a diagnosis not a criticism. We still treat mental health like it’s an insult. It isn’t.

It can be, she also can be experiencing a maniac épisode. I have bipolar and also have gone through a lot, is very ironic that I had been the emotional support of my family a lot of times. People either say stuff like "but you are feeling good, why use meds?" Or call you too emotional but after so many years putting off crysis after crysis you become an expert...at least you shove it on while maniac. You cannot end it so you use it as both weapon and shield. But it's yet another burden. Unemployment is very common, and either hospitalization or healthy problems (like losing weight, the lack of sleep,chronicle stress...). You lost cognitive skill every year, school performance is hard to come by. There's also other diagnosis that can happen together. Mental health is a complex thing that bleeds into your live. When doctors tread pacientes is not a diagnosis is a person, with all hopes, dreams, virtue and sins... It's very easy to stop to see the person and only see the illness, so when we se the person we sometimes ignore the illness cause in your society you can't be both humane and Ill. I am glad this lady shared her story and show us otherwise.

Does everything have to be about feminism with you lefties?

@@Shinobi33 LOL!! I'm a Conservative and not a feminist. But, I'm in my 60's and can remember some of the older friends of my grandparents who would spend a little time in the hospital because of their "nerves". It was considered hush-hush, but I'd hear the adults whispering about it. Any level of "mental illness" was totally taboo in those days. Now, ya know! :D

prob only 45...women aged much quicker back then

She's hardly has any wrinkles.

Yes, she is anything but fine. Poor thing, it makes me sad to see her so afflicted. I suspect she's at peace, not longer burdened with this horrible disease. RIP

God help anyone who sleeps poorly and has extra energy because you would lock them up with mania. Mania is way worse then she has displayed

She looks like she hasn't been sleeping .

@@deanawells4395 She appears to be coming down from the mania, exhibiting all the signs and range of emotions.

That's what the nurses were saying. She on the other hand was saying she didnt have any trouble sleeping. Nurses lie. Especially back then. Shes going thru the mood swings she does in the vid because they're keeping her locked away without her consent and shes trapped and been told what to do her whole life. That would make anyone a little on edge. Aside from the depression she obviously has I see nothing wrong with her. Shes simply an old woman trapped in a place she doesnt want to be surrounded by ppl who lie about things she does to keep her there.

I followed everything you said. I have bipolar disorder as well. It is like I have 5 conversations going during a conversation with anyone else. Only people with bipolar or ADHD can follow my conversations. It is hard to slow down!

I got exactly what you were saying and I agree that poor woman was from an era when women didn't talk about their inner feelings it must have been so uncomfortable and very confronting for her! People were used as Guinea pigs back then because Psychiatrist's no idea what to do

Alice Watt it’s frightening thinking how I might have been treated back then and that I probably wouldn’t be living at home but in a asylum. I still don’t think they know how to treat patients the medication is horrible..

I was also thinking she may have had some dementia.

the sound that is going under the voice is so ugly, I cant even concentrate on her bcs of this sound- .. Im trying so hard to pay attention on this lady, but cant.

Lol

That’s true! They do. They act exactly like this woman. Hmmm...Great observation.

You gotta be crazy to be a celebrity

Hi Ya, your right, now that I think about it . And I've seen some appperances of The Famous that have that doubletalk,, with half,, still in charator from a recent movie ,etc. . Strange. Although, I believe this is a bit different with this lady . She seems acutly distraught . My husband has shown some of these behaviors that got worse over time!. From around 49yrs old , until a year ago at age 60yrs old. I feel , and gave felt his rollercoaster turmoils and struggles. He needs peace within. I hope she found peace, Also.!!! Thank you for the video

What a brilliant observation!

I have a question, after a manic episode do you remember anything you may have done during that episode? My bf has been diagnosed with bipolar after a long battle of manic episodes, he's very violent towards his mother and father, will he remember and apologize to them after medication starts to work?

@@amberd.8027 they know what they do. I am bipolar 1 which is more manic than depressed. I've done some f-ed up stuff when I was manic. I remembered it all. Your bf doesn't want to own up to his own actions.

@@amberd.8027 I'm bipolar 1 with rapid cycling & no meds. I've told my doctor that I don't always remember what I've done or said when I go from one episode (mania) to another (depression) & he said that's very normal because your feelings & thoughts in each state are so different.

I have rapid cycling meds stopped working I get very mean and dull of rage its scary.

I have a close friend who is manic to the point of thinking like she's Elizabeth Taylor also she started not going to the hospital when she got sick because she couldn't smoke . I stopped being around her because I couldn't tell when she was getting manic and she would turn me into the enemy . After more than a few really disturbing personality attacks when sick and her no longer going to the hospital I told her I had enough and couldn't take it anymore .I felt bad ,still do but she had a large supportive family and I knew she'd be fine .The ups and downs were too much after 20 years of friendship .I think the old fashioned meds controled it better she took a boat load of medication but would go of it because she felt like having a mood .That is a very tough thing to have ,they are usually very brilliant people .

Wish my ex wife thought like you

This lady seems to have come from money, as she mentions having a private tennis court. Having money certainly helps when it comes to mental illness, as the mentally ill are generally not able to financially look after themselves. And end up on the street. In that respect, she is lucky.

@@Agnar669 What? People with bipolar disorder can lead pretty normal lives. Not every mental illness is the same. It can be managed quite well with the right meds. Maybe it depends where you’re from but we live in Canada. We don’t have to worry about not being able to afford anything he may need. And like…why would you say something like that under a comment like mine anyway? I sounded too happy for you?

@@supernova11711 Obviously, there are varying degrees of severity of mental illness. Not every mentally ill is highly functional, or functional. Not even the once brightest or best educated. Some are fortunate, others not so.

If you had any advice for a parent who is bipolar, what would it be? The guilt from being bipolar is overwhelming. I wasn’t diagnosed until after my kids were born- “late onset” they say. I believe we are all in a state of constant growth. But this is one area I cannot see from; I cannot see me thru their eyes.

@@_J_A_12_08 is the other parent present?

@@_J_A_12_08 I would tell them to think about their moods, especially anger, and understand that people with bipolar disorder have the same emotions as everyone else. The difference is that for the bipolar brain, emotions can be much stronger. It's as if the brain needs a rheostat to turn down the intensity of the emotions. So if you're feeling anger at your child, realize that it may be way out of proportion to what is happening and make the effort to tone it down. It's best not to act like a jerk in front of your children, because once the children realize the parent is a jerk, respect can be lost forever. Medications can help tone things down, but mindfulness about one's behavior at all times is important for preserving family relationships. Be aware that there can be a genetic component of bipolar disorder; if a child exhibits moodiness, it is best to schedule an assessment with a mental health professional for an accurate, timely diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

​@@LoveFlatfootin1My mother, not sure if she was or is bi polar but she was and is still a nightmare. Mother's PLEASE think before you speak or act! I ask my elderly mother that all the time now and she gets angry when I say that.

she is ill. No shame in that. But, I'm sure it can be very depressing and hurtful to be in her situation.

She seems delightful and hilarious

@@angelagallagher8136 Perhaps because it's name is dr. Lehman n. But at least he seems to show certain sympathy regarding patients intelligent sense of humor here and there.. or is it his envy?

just be carful what you say as you can easily Trigger a violent outburst by saying the wrong thing, Did you notice the flight of thought and her inability to remain on topic or even finish a complete thought ? by the way you do realize that she has never been married, she has no children or grandchildren these are all fantasy's that she has created in her own mind. She has created a complete fantasy life. You notice how she never answered the question about where she spent her honeymoon ? that's becouse she never had one. If you had ever spent time around someone like this you would immediately recognize the symptoms, they just go on and on and on lie after lie after lie talking about things they think they have done but have not and people they have met that they have never met and they skip around never finishing a thought, they bounce around from one thought to the next. For example she might tell you that she loved to bake cookies for her grand kids, so if you ask her to share her favorite cookie recipes she would start out talking about it and then a split second later would start talking about this baker that she once dated and how good the cookies he made were, but that he had a sister that was jealous so they could not date, and then she would go off on a tangent about a boy she knew that almost choked on a cookie and it would go on like this changing subjects every few seconds until she passed out from exhaustion. she would fall asleep for about 20 minutes and then wake up and the whole thing would start all over again with her just spewing random thoughts and lies one after the other until she passed out again. The one thing that would not happen, is that you would never get that recipe becouse she doesn't have one, the reason she doesn't have one is that she has never been able to focus on one task long enough to actually bake cookies.

That’s exactly what I thought !! Even the quiet spaces he leave without giving her back comment are a tactic to make her keep talking. And she’s extremely uncomfortable so the minute he stays quiet and just stares blankly at her ofcourse she’s going to panic and ramble on about different subjects to not only change the mood but her energy. ( they’re literally recording her to make an example out of her and prove she’s crazy ) How crazy does someone sound saying they’re not crazy ? That in itself is a dam loop. She knows she wasn’t supposed to be out there . Many talk about how for any reason woman were sent to the asylums .

You can still tell that something is off. She talks about the doctor's youth as if she had known him as a child. It's not just being uncomfortable in front of the cameras. She also appears to invent memories.

i wouldn't call her "wacko" but there is most definitely something wrong here. it appears to me like possibly mild dementia mixed with the bipolar.

No one but you said she is crazy. She has been diagnosed bipolar. You haven't had sessions with her, you watched her for 10 min. Your opinion is lame based on 10 min of watching her!

You can have all the available knowledge on mental health and still be completely in the dark. You don't get it, no doctor does. You go through a checklist and diagnose people after a 40 minute conversation. It's like BMI, outdated BS theory. Drug people up with SSRI and SNRI that just recycle their seratonin until there's nothing left. You don't know anything.

I have watched a few of these now and I really have taken a strong liking to his compassionate and patient nature.

I agree. When I first got Out of the Marines I went to a psychiatrist for PTSD and the guy was so damn arrogant I couldn’t stand it! He looked bored when I was answering his questions. I was having major panic attacks and I had never had any issues with that or anxiety. After I described what it felt like (like death!!) he said I should lay down on his couch and try breathing techniques…I almost punched that fucker!! I got up and left but before I did I asked him if he heard a fucking thing I said to him!! Breathing techniques?! Gtfoh

Truly ahead of his time, hes the father of modern psychopharmacology, My guy fled Nazi Germany to Montreal in 1937 and devoted the next sixty years to finding new and more humane treatments for the mentally ill. He was a humane lecturer in psychiatry in 1952, gave empathetic lectures on the plight of people suffering from anxiety, depression obsessions, paranoia etc. When chlorpromazine showed some promise he helped to promote it in North America and start the drug revolution. He supported research in the use of psilocybin (ingredient in magic mushrooms/shrooms, lsd, dmt) to alleviate anxiety. He was an advocate for decriminalization of marijuana. He was a member of the Nomenclature Committee of the American Psychiatric Association that decided to drop *homosexuality* from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

greg brodie true, they always interrupt and cut it short

Exactly. Dr.s seem to address only interactions between people, not how this disorder affects your being.

Medical doctors don't know shit about mental illness. Hopefully you find a good psychiatrists.

Analyzing and then degrading someone for the way they speak and how they speak it is so wrong in so many ways. 1. A hospital stay is in my opinion means for defending oneself. 2. Of course she sounds embarrassed. Wouldn't you be the same if you were asked these questions?

Zoey Rodriguez , the doctor did explain that those are symptoms displaying mental illness.

She didn’t like questions about her illness like „do you sleep well” or have you been sick in the past, becouse she don’t want to be treated. She feels good in the stare she’a in and wants to convince everybody she od perfectly fine despite sleeping 2 hours a day. My father had this ilness and trust me it can be devastating for the person as well as others in his/her life.

Zoey R she is ill. The laughing and flight of thought is all part of the illness.

@@elkidee1 Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The term illness to me is like pneumonia or cancer, a virus of some kind. When used to describe a mental imbalance is confusing.

This is especially true during manic phases of bipolar. We don't often feel unwell and compared to episodes of depression it seems foolish to suggest we are unwell whilst elated.

Cats_shall_rise That makes sense

@@cats_shall_rise8842 True, my dad said I was acting strange once and it made me feel so betrayed, but I calmed down myself and went to the doctor. Sometimes bipolar is so hard to spot, I had depression all through my teens and my father didn't notice, because i would pretend to be happier when I was with him. So many people saying that this woman looks fine because bipolar doesn't make you completely lose your mind at all times. Your brain just functions differently in different times

You may have you admit that you and others that you have consulted, have "Enabled" him to be weak in the face of real life. This happens a lot and it isn't your fault. If you notice, our ancestors, who lived miserable lives, never fell apart, because they and their families would literally die if they gave in. After the false science of "Psychiatry" took hold after the 1960's, didn't you notice that every kid was suddenly "Hyperactive" and needed the dangerous Ritalin to cope? Housewives all of sudden needed the highly addictive benzodiazepine, "Valium" ? They started making trillions by labeling the human condition and thus enabling teenagers who ALL go through a tough time, to suddenly have a crutch that Doctors and their parents are going with. Now they have relabled "Hyperactivity" as ADHD and now give Adderall, which are pure "Amphetamines Salts". The Science of "Psychiatry" has never "Cured" a single person because they base at which they are working is a complete lie. For a teenager having a hard time, it has given them, like in the case of your son, The perfect crutch. If your Son is 33 and you are allowing him to live with you, you are killing his chance at a life. You are harming him and these things never end. It's not like once he hits 40, he'll snap out of it. He needs a girl, and there are plenty of them out there . You're acting out the whole Freudian scenario where he is a replacement for a man in the house, and YOU are a replacement for a female for him. It's not healthy and will NEVER get better unless you explain what I told you, to him. He's being tricked out of a life.

@@Valkonnen b.s!

Well, there is obviously something very unhealthy going on I ur brain....something worse than bipolar, and unfortunately for you, uncurable. Next time, just don't answer, your comments are actually very damaging, and unhinged.

She might have been on lithium

Good call! It’s typically best practice to rule out possible medical causes for hypomanic/manic symptoms such as hyperthyroid. And lithium inhibits thyroid hormone secretion which can lead to a goiter.

Lithium was the go to medication for bipolar which in turn affects your thyroid. Coming from a person with bipolar who has taken lithium.

They also used EST...for every mental illness...part of their treatment plan..wonder if she had that then...maybe later on. Back then it pretty much fried your brain. Must be 40's.

@@PayneWaterStudio it's made mine hypoactive and a bit enlarged also :(

The Hawk there is such thing as Bipolar Scitzoaffective...its when the bipolar mania triggers hallucinations....but unlike schizophrenia its not all the time.

Well, not exactly. Rapid mood swings like that tend to be Borderline Personality Disorder, not Bipolar disorder. Even in a bipolar disorder rapid cycle, they are weeks or months apart. Borderline can be minute to minute. I should say that there are many other elements that factor into symptoms and diagnosis, I was referring to a very broad spectrum when I made my comment. As the cycles with bipolar alone, are not multiple mood swings in a day, rather weeks or months in a year.

@@ichangedmynameforyoutube honest questioning... can mania be "hyper" sensitivity? I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 over ten years ago, but the last couple years I've questioned more of BPD. The rapid mood swings happen a couple times a year, but only for a day or two. Could it be my meds. are doing a good job controlling? I've discussed with my doc. Just wondering if ya had any thoughts outa curiosity. I realize my doc knows all my history. Would be cool just to hear wat ya might say.

@@ichangedmynameforyoutube I was diagnosed with Manic Depression many years ago. My swings can change a few times in a day, untreated. Have seen many specialists over the years and nobody has ever suggested anything but bipolar. Although, generally, it is more like weekly cycles. No set period.

ellen okland You know, Dr. Tracy Marks has some brilliant videos touching on some of these topics, I think you’d get some great answers to your questions. Or at the very least it would offer you some insight. Because there are so many elements to all of these disorders, there are a lot of symptoms that over lap. IE, if you have trauma, PTSD, ADHD, etc., it can be difficult to isolate to one thing. She has some short little videos here on RU-vid, look for Dr. Tracy Marks. She’s very accurate and follows the DSM5, which is exactly what your psychiatrist and psychologists refer to when they’re trying to find a diagnose for you. I hope that helps! I’d love to hear your thoughts if it helped you or not though.

Bingo

Hello; I relate to your comment and tried to connect with you for a little talk about those specific things. So if you can reach out to or answer here I would appreciate it . Thanks

I can feel your struggle. I can relate to you somehow and I do hope that you are okay now.

jackybaby1999 how is she manipulative?

Thats not intelligence its a sickness you think shes controlling the convo but she is actually ignoring social cues real intelligent people will notice this and realize she is not well

Are you serious? You cannot determine that she is extremely manipulative?

She’s not in control of the conversation or anything else.

Exactly. Well said

You have to have hypomania or mania or both to be diagnosed with bipolar.

In so sorry for your loss.🙏🙏
