@@debb.3857 yes, just saw all the prices, I had thought like other Vloggers they would charge $5-10 a month. You are way over charging, which keeps people out. I am on medical disability stick to a budget.

I was so surprised when Dr Ramani said she attends counseling for herself. Such openness & honesty!

I just love that they're all cultural Marxists.

I haven't felt this much truth in years.

@@aResoluteProtector wtf does that mean

I wish there were more therapists like Dr. Ramani..........she certainly has a gift.

😢

Agreed. I hope you're doing well

Difficult? It's a pain in the ass

I remember after I got diagnosed looking through library books on the subject and they were so annoying, full of generalisations and the kind of information that had allowed me to have the condition for more than a decade without really believing it. Like implying depression comes as some kind of crash after the manic high. With me I know the illness is coming but can't tell what direction it's going because at first it just feels like a bad mood! I tend to go down first and then up. And they hardly mentioned psychosis. The first sign of my mania was hearing voices! I met quite a few people who said they heard voices, saw strange things, smelled strange things etc when manic and depressed but the books made this sound like a rare complication and gave it about one paragraph each! Then they go on saying bipolar isn't just the ups and downs of life, but that's not how it felt to me from the inside. Except when it got really extreme, it felt exactly like big ups and downs and no way can you separate it from your life!

@@gledwood9108 When I deal with this I was told I was Bipolar 1, as well as Borderline personality AND schizoaffective

Excellent advice

Dang. Appreciate this framing. I’ve recently started rebuilding my relationship to work in a way that makes sense to me and not others preferences. People-pleasing can be tricky, and it takes some real effort to try and strike a balance leading with yourself in mind. But it definitely promotes a better and more sustained relationship with one’s true self. Which can often become an afterthought leading to some rough spots.

I struggle between feeling this and feeling like dang I need meds dont I

😂😂 ok but this is a bit of grandiose comment - no?

@medcircle can u use a sleeping aid to calm oncoming mania or use during mania?

I have lost full days! Very disturbing. It only happens when extremely anxious. I won't remember a thing.

I've had that sometimes ..it freaka me out cause all the sudden I space and then I'm back and I feel awkward

You know these dumb doctors got to be diagnosed in people and then of course they change the diagnosis they don't know what the hell they're doing I'm sorry but I have to say it

I got diagnosed 2 days ago. It's really hard right now. Thank you so much for this comment.

@@tanvi5378 Don't accept one diagnosis as written in stone. Seek diagnoses from one or more psychiatrists. Don't tell the other psychiatrists you have been diagnosed by other psychiatrists. Physicians, particularly psychiatrists, have rigidity not to override another psychiatrist's diagnosis. The significance of the advice I'm conferring is misdiagnoses in Psychiatry is pervasively rampant. Entailing many times too many, are arbitrary. The dire detriment of misdiagnoses is the prescribed medications will BE THE WRONG MEDICATIONS POSSIBLY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Some people experience confusion, cognitive problems.

@@mab7175 bro wtf just because some people are misdiagnosed doesnt mean this person is. youre just fueling a terrible cycle of imposter syndrome rn. let the person recieve help in peace

Good to know

Ty for your helpful comment

I am making tremendous positive progress by watching my diet losing weight and a positive mental attitude and my social rhythm is very good.

What is social rhythm therapy

I've always thought this. Plus he shares his own struggles. I initially thought he started this in search of his own answers. Regardless, I'm so glad this is available to the general public.

At 12:00 he thanks her for speaking to him just like a friend in easy to understand terms. They are a great team!!

Kyle is a very good interviewer. Always has good questions, listens intently. Asks good follow up questions as well to get into interesting details. He comes off as a very kind person as well.

That's sad

That's terrible it's so mean to always be forcing people to go to these quack doctors

I have Bipolar 1 Disorder, and can relate.

As Dr Rsmadi (sp) says, "there's no special place in heaven for people who put up with ill treatment over and over again." You're worth more than that.

Sorry, a few things stand out in your comment. You have the word gay in your name.. Your wife thought you would leave her.. She lost it and had affairs? Are you sure you are not a narcissist my friend? My ex was one and could have said this easily. And maybe your wife is suffering from narc abuse? Narcs are always saying something is wrong with the other person. Make you doubt your reality and so on.. I'm saying this because to me it sounds very unlikely that she would go and have multiple affairs, because she thinks you are going to leave.. Being very empathic as a bpd I just cant see this happening. My friend is bipolar and when she loses it, she just wants to hurt herself, but never others. And ADHD in my humble opinion is not a real disorder.. I hope I'm wrong with my analysis. Wish you and your wife all the best

@@DarkEnergyHealerYou know that manic people can quite literally do anything right? It just sounds like you are trying to side with her because she's a woman like you or something

Oh wow, when you highlighted no food made my heart jump. 💔 my soon to be x husband of 20 years likes to control me with food and starve me when I don't have money because I can't get out to work. I had a blackout 3 weeks ago from his abuse.

@@stacyramirez5459 My heart goes out to you!! I pray you have gotten put of that relationship!! You deserve better. And I do understand how it feels when you are in abusive relationship & have a hard time trying to get out on your own. I am in that current situation. My elderly dad is my abuser & I am live with him because I am his caregiver & also because I went on disability 10 yrs. ago due to bi polar. Unless ppl. have gone through abuse than they have no idea what we go through. In short, the abuser, isolates you & verbally abuses you with their words such as; ' you are a loser. You are stupid. You are useless. No one wants you. In my case, my dad reminds me all the time that I am CRAZY & no one wants a nut job like you!! It's that constant verbal & physical abuse that starts to wear you down, physically & psychologically!! I pray God gives you the strength & an out to FINALLY leave this relationship if you ALREADY HAVEN'T left. God Bless.

Now a days people with bipolar disorder don’t take certain antidepressants because it can trigger mania. I have unipolar depression with a family history of bipolar disorder and I can’t take SSRI antidepressants because I react in a similar manner. I find just going on walks, practicing mindfulness, taking birth control and preventing chronic stress helps a lot. Therapy is also great for learning how to cope with negative thoughts and also anxiety that comes from it.I also have ADHD as well and I do take stimulant medication which is key in helping out with stress.

@@happysloth3208 apparently you DIDN'T read my comment. I run to help me cope with my ANXIETY & depression. As far as anti depressants. I was diagnosed in1986 & Prozac SAVED my life. But, I do understand what may work 4 one person, may not necessarily work 4 another person. Sounds like you are DOING a great job in managing your illness & I applaud you 4 taking the steps to help manage your life with the proper techniques. God Bless.

You don't have any sense..

On 2015 they put me on antidepressants I almost dye of this huge hypomania episode

“Special” in what way exactly? Thanks

It varies with each individual. Most people diagnosed Bipolar are misdiagnosed.

I have the same issue saying that he is not BP went off he's medication don't know how to help him

Changed in what manner

Have you tried abilify? My wife has BP1 the antidepressants trigger her mania. I put her on Depakote, lithium, and 150mg seroquel. Seroquel knocks her out for 8 to 10 hours, which sleep deprived induces her mania. I wanna take her off seroquel but I can't! She won't sleep without it. But, I'm convinced if I can put her on a different medication for sleep that's not an antidepressant..She can reach remission!

@@Emma-dh1lx I strongly suspect that BP1 and BP2 are not the same illness, they just get grouped together because they have a similar set of symptoms. Seroquel increased my anxiety to the point of panic attacks, same thing for my father. Abilify is another new antipsychotic and had the same effect. I have not tried it, but for my dad, it practically flatlined him: flat affect, sleeping all the time, no energy. They reduced the dose to the point where he was taking a homeopathic dose, a quarter of the smallest dose every other day. He was already into dementia by that point, so I took him and my mother to his psychiatrist and told him what I was on, convinced him to switch my dad to Gabapentin from Abilify and his energy and interest came back so well it was almost like his dementia went into remission for a while. Gabapentin is NOT recommended for BP1. In fact, they decided to take away its approval for use in bipolar at all, but that was based on research that was conducted exclusively on BP1s.

@@lynnemacvean9665 The fact of the matter is, they are the same condition. Just opposite sides of the spectrum! Where is a Bp1 suffers extreme mania, a Bp2 suffers from extreme depression. My wife's depression is very minimal, but her highs? Are extreme to the point where she is capable of not only self harm but, inflicting harm towards others without thinking things through. Where there's a low, there's someone on the opposite side of the same illness. I've witnessed my wife be committed, hardly a spec of the person I met 15 years ago. As I sit her at the table.. shes going through depression! Something she rarely does. Her whole life the past 8 years have been pure mania! These meds are killing the mania and making her step out of her chaotic self. I won't disclosure the rollercoaster she put our family through, but this is for the best. We have 4 children and I've been the one supporting the kids, my wife, and holding down a full-time job all the while, cooking, cleaning, and paying the bills. My job is endless, but it's worth it if I can save my wife, our life, and our family. But, with that being said, I do regret that these meds are making her flat. It's a double edged sword, if not on the meds? She's capable of SO much damage! It's either she walks out on not only me, but our children as well. It's either a street life of crystal meth, alcohol, and all kinds of other drugs, missing birthdays, holidays and almost losing her life. Or she's here flat and sober. Keeping her on bp meds I'm keeping her from living her life. But without it? I'm saving her life and our children's mother. She's already had a stroke from the heavy drugs she did on the streets. Even that didn't change her perspective on life.

I was on seroquil and was raped by my husband while I was passed out and stopped breathing.. he said he was worried for a second so he stopped but then I started breathing again .. I never took it again

Very true great statement..

@@lightwalkerunknown9956I've since found a wonderful therapist whom I enjoy meeting with once a month and today was actually a break through I'm better understanding some issues. I hope for more successful journeys out there 🥸🫂🎸 personally my goal is to learn about the problem(s), practice solutions and grow 🪴 not dependant but resourceful.

My daughter is 15 yrs old. and is bipolar mania would you be able to direct me how or what you take for a holistic approach. Thx

@@Lidia-qf1uv hi there! I wish I had a one step 🪜 solution to offer you. My journey has been a rocky one...but I know that my mom was praying to God 🙏 for me to get off of medications because she saw me changing and not for the better. I was still clinging to my medicine but she didn't stop praying for me. I soon realized the side effects the medicine was having and I had to get off. I've found relief in staying away from caffeine as much as possible, getting good sleep rythms helps and a good diet and excercise plan will help bring further balance (being healthy with the basics is what I learned in the Intensive Outpatient Program- seems simple right?) But even with it being simple sometimes we don't practice it. So keeping the right nutrients in your body and the bad ones out as much as possible helps sleep really can throw me into a depressive mode or manic mode at times. Taking nature trips, staying at the cabin in Idyllwild going, camping etc. (I love being outdoors your daughter might enjoy other activities she can get involved in), Being around loving and friendly people definitely helps too - my favorite are my friends with special needs they are the sweetest people in my life. There's so many ways to try to maintain healthy. With lots of love and prayer nothing is impossible. Feel free to email me bluebirddd1@gmail.com I'd love to stay in touch!

@@Lidia-qf1uv I also liked talk therapy. So I had seen a therapist for a couple years off and on once a month and it helps! Not every therapist is the right fit so find one she is comfortable with and is able to talk to that would be some of my suggestions. God bless you and your daughter

my wife was also a bipolar for 6 years but with the help of dr ojemen my wife we were able to get cure from it with the herbal treatment she’s free now ru-vid.com/show-UCB3A6CCewN60s6kAI0mcWDw

Are you in the US? In the state where I live, through the community mental health center, there's a new program called FEP (first episode psychosis) that help patients and families like yours.

@@ARasputinaFan Yes

@@patriciatoney240 Please see if one on this list shows up for your state. I know of two more in my state but it only lists one. Your best bet would be to call each of your closest community mental health centers, not the private ones, who treat youth and ask if they have a first episode psychosis program or something similar. Best wishes to you! www.samhsa.gov/esmi-treatment-locator

Where's his father?

@@daisy7066 The original comment said "We", so it sounds like a family unit already. What does a father have to do with it, other than possible genetic predisposition?

@@MrSpecialized75 where did all of that come from? Uhh

@@MrSpecialized75 please educate yourself. Brain changes ARE shown in patients with bipolar. Also, if you have such a negative comment, please keep it for yourself :) clearly you haven't experienced this horrible illness by yourself so .... I live with this condition and I can assure you that I have a life much more structured and a lot more healthy habits than most people. Always wake up at 7 am with 8 hours of sleep, take medication everyday on time, exercise everyday, eat super clean, talk with friends, educate myself about my condition, have regular appointments with my psychiatrist, no drugs of any kind (except mood stabilizers of course). The first step for my recovery was medication, without it I wasn't able to sleep well and rest so I couldn't function, I wasn't able to think clearly, couldn't get out of bed, showering and eating were such hard things to do. When I started medication it was such a bliss. My life started to change in a way that made me able to do the changes that I needed to improve my life and ease the symptoms.

@@MrSpecialized75 and at the high end of manic-depressive psychosis [hardcore bipolar (affective) disorder] it looks ten times worse than schizophrenia. That degree of the illness isn’t something you can turn on and off like a switch all in the name of excusing bad behaviour. I don’t think you know that mania and melancholia are probably the oldest-noted (and most naturally-occurring) of mental illness that exist (and have been observed since literal antiquity). What makes you think you know better than the Ancient Greek observers and German psychiatrists of old? Were all those patients who thought they were transformed to animals and barked for 7 years (followed by periods of grandiose delirium and stupor) just people with complex P.T.S.D. or attitude issues? Are you sure you know what bipolar [affective] disorder really is?

I missed it and was hoping someone asked questions on being borderpolar!

Yes, please read "The End of Mental Illness" by Dr. Daniel Amen. I know it can be hard to read and focus with BP1, but just try and read the book for just 10 min/day. I surely hope this helps you...stay hopeful!

People in full mania literally don't need to sleep for any of the normal reasons people sleep to regenerate energy.

For me too, morning is worse with irritability ,anxiety till noon but becomes better with day..

@@o56_idress_ahmed_ee32 I'm taking Abilify and it temporary works but when I wake up in the morning I feel heavy, weak, sluggish because of this bipolar madness

How was ur manic episode...what did u feel ... and how long...did u sleep easily in manic episode

@@o56_idress_ahmed_ee32 Its frightening because I didn't treat my depression back in 2011 when I first was diagnosed. I had manic episodes back in 2011, 2015 and right now(2020-21) No, I couldn't sleep for 3 days when I have these depressive episodes...

Depression can have a diurnal pattern and in those cases it tends to be worse in the morning (and only as the evening comes on is there some sort of relief). You’re not alone, buddy. 😊

Yes it can.
