As someone with bipolar that wasn’t diagnosed until 7 years into my relationship with my now wife…I really really really appreciate and love my wife for staying with me and granting me the support to heal. I’ve put her through several versions of hell, regrettably. I’m not sure if I’d be here otherwise. My father killed himself at 50 years of age on the street homeless and addicted to drugs. and I sympathize with how he came to make that decision. Again, THANK YOU to everyone who gives their love, support and forgiveness to those who suffer with bipolar.

I relate to this man I'm only 21 and I've been struggling for so long i really wanna end my life I've been trying so hard but nothing has worked

"Behavior in Kids is anxiety" ok so does that make them pardonable in EVERY wrong situation and wrong decision? Parents were once teenagers too but did they all crossed the boundary

Joel a great question you raised about Social Media ...a bad situation makes it worst and life changing in a bad way.... the school is doing it best but KIDS DONT LISTEN and what happens ! who suffers? the child and parents so lets not blame the school or teachers, and I am again talking about parents who are using social media only when required ,,, Most of teachers are caring but it is the too much liberal system that allows the monster called social media new tech or old tech , integrity and dignity are life long virtues that parents trying to teach

We understand kids have stresses but parents have gone through that and are trying to help the kid whom they love and what you get in return , All this good in theory the parents have to deal with all the consequences , meeting child's needs mean what? please lets list them... lets talk reality here we are talking about normal parents with no Alcohol no Drugs no crime

The systems does not listen "Enough" to the parents real life issues.... Everybody tell the adult to change and understand children's emotional need but what about the teenager who lies and and does not understand responsibilities that come with freedom and worst the issues with social media... this is so one sided .. What "look within,," as a concerned parent the parents are trying to teach and instill some values .. do parents has to accept all the BS that the kids throws at you and still work and still provide ... sorry

Lost my dad a week ago to PSP

I was my mom's hero and her worst enemy and I just never knew what was going to happen.

Its been ten years since my wife and I divorced. She had bipolar - this conversation describes exactly what my experience was while we were married for 9 years.

Thanks Missy for sharing your families story. It really hit home with me. For anyone going through this now with a parent; I can tell you where I am now, to where I was then are miles apart. I know we have been really fortunate and the outcome isn’t always that way but I struggled with lots of things along the way. I eventually got to a place where I have such peace and admiration for my parent. My life hasn't fallen to pieces, I have been so fortunate in many aspects of my life. This experience gives you resilience and such empathy. You can pick up when things aren't right for folk. That is a big gift. The story doesn't have to be a certain way for you.

TWO MISDIAGNOSES AND GIVEN DANGEROUS DISEASE 🦠 IN SURGER ITS ALL A MESS PATIENTS HAVE NO RIGHTS

You are amazing Sue.

Making breakfast was Missy being seen. That's so powerful when we grow up invisible.

Well, let me tell you....

My mom was afflicted as well. I got lucky. Another girl in my school noticed the signs and invited me to her home and explained to me that like my mom, her mom was also "goofy" and that "they" and "them" were very Real to our mothers. She also told me that we are Only as sick as our secrets, so for my own mental health Be Honest. Just tell people your mom is crazy, so just ignore her. Stop making up stories and lies. It was the most positive thing Ever for myself. I was in my late teens when I realized the Voices my mom heard and the things she saw were Very REAL to her. As a young child I would see signs she was "going off the deep end" and alert my father who refused to believe me and of course she soon was committed into Hosp yet again. I am the eldest of 4 siblings. The other kids had less exposure to her at her worse, due to treatments and meds continually improved over the years. My mom in later years would stop her meds and go "goofy" to manupulate us as we became adults and attemped to move on independantly. When married and a mom myself. I decided to move to another State. I knew what was coming. As we prepared for the move she eventually arrived unmedicated and goofybas the day is long explaining how "they" and "them" were broadcasting my thoughts in the radio and planning to "get us". Instead of bowing to her pleas of stay to be safe and my father's pleas that I had to stay to help him with my mom. I explained I was tired of her "shit". Go home, take your meds or when I arrive at my new home I will never give her my new address or phone number. 2 of my siblings had preivously abandoned moving far away. I am the eldest, I had already emotionally distanced, I am the child not her parent. Bye Bye.

Thank you for this. I experienced the same type of childhood having a mother with bipolar. At the time we were not told much and were blamed by our father because he must have been overwhelmed with having to find care for all of the children. This happened several times throughout our childhood. Most of all there was no help for the family, for the children. It is so sad. We all were affected by this and now at an old age, I have given up on the family because none of us stayed close or really able to communicate honestly together. It was a hard childhood and I never knew before I had my own children that perhaps I could have used some help, but I just did my best. Makes me so sad that there was no one to step in and offer help for the children. It’s shameful. I have anxiety myself and probably who knows what else. I’m almost 65 years old now. The children had to deal with it all and we never learned to honor or siblings. I feel it was so difficult and embarrassing and I often tried to protect my mother when I would notice her having trouble at times. Just hard times.

Manic depressive are born that way, with day to day living with their own hidden mild symptoms until social pressures hit. It then blooms

9/10 of all females I know have been SA’d in a variety of levels and thru out life in some form, as girls and into adulthood. By men 99% of the time. I’m so sick of this shite. This just adds to the trauma we have in families regardless of gender. I have much more to say but I’ll stop. And ty to the guest for sharing ❤✨

I appreciate the insightful interview with Kerrie Atherton and Joel Kleber on growing up with a parent who has Bipolar Disorder. Sovereign Health's approach to addressing such challenges often involves a combination of psychoeducation, family therapy, and individualized treatment plans. This comprehensive strategy not only helps patients manage their conditions but also extends support to their families. The significance of these actions is profound, as they foster trust by showing a commitment to holistic care and acknowledging the broader impact of mental health conditions on families. Sovereign Health's efforts in this regard truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by Bipolar Disorder.

I so appreciate your channel, your work, and your bravery. In your description above you ask us to drop you a comment if we relate, and I can! Thank you!

Thank you for this podcast and for sharing your story!

Time for all of it to see the light of day.

Thanks this was awesome 👏

I was also a young carer at 8 (I think) but I found out at 11 by my school. I feel that more people need to know about this as it is so tough to go through!

My life seems to be getting worse with each passing day

Wow, every now and then I’ve searched for others who grew up with a schizophrenic mother. My story is similar as far as my mom being diagnosed first with manic depression which was what they used to call bipolar disorder but, shortly after that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia. My mom had my sister at 20 years old, then me & my brothers who are triplets at 23. She had started displaying symptoms before me and my brothers were born but it was after our birth that she became severely ill. I was born in 1969 and it was at that time schizophrenics were hospitalized for a month or more with each episode which were very often. She had shock therapy as well.. but I don’t know much about it, but all the different meds she was on that would often get changed when they’d come out with something new. I remember one medication would make her eyes uncontrollably look upward, so they had a pill for that eye symptom as well. She would get debilitating migraines for several days in a row. I hated seeing her suffer and that’s so hard to grow up that way. My mom would often become mute and catatonic. It was very scary witnessing that as a child. My mother would also function great when stabilized but sadly it was too few and far between. When it was mentioned about the cooking and making clothes, that’s amazing because my mom made a lot of clothes, stuffed animals, pillows for us kids when she was managing ok, she was talented with that, and did all the hospital crafts as well.. very artsy and creative. She also was very religious, and I believe the religion thing was a bit over the top. One thing that would upset all of us was that she would go on these “throwing things out” rampages, and throw out belongings, furniture, you name it. It got to the point my father had to make sure he was around on garbage day because even if he took things out she’d put them back when the garbage truck would come that day. We were mostly raised by my father and grandmother, which was unfortunate because they were both extremely abusive. They both blamed me and my brothers for my mom’s illness and so us three were abused and suffered multiple traumas. My father was physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive, and my grandmother was emotionally and psychologically abusive. As you can probably imagine, our lives were permanently altered horribly. Somehow all 4 of us siblings are functioning in society but not without great difficulty. I am the only one of us 4 kids that have been working on myself in therapy for almost 9 years now. I was diagnosed with PTSD, depression & anxiety, and last year a dissociative disorder was added to my list. I thank god for therapy because I was headed down a path that I surely would not have come out of had I not seen the importance of working through all the tremendous amount of trauma. We each struggle with our own things but I am the only one that has not turned abusive myself. Unfortunately all 3 siblings are abusive to their families, and I’ve had to break contact with them as they were abusive to me as well. My mother passed away tragically in a house fire in February 2001, when she was 54, and I was about 28 years old. She was home alone and there was an investigation into her death. It is known that the house fire was caused by an oil lamp she was running, but as far as the events leading to her death we will never know as it was never determined what exactly took place. All of my life so far has been spent in survival, and these days I’m just trying my best to recover and be able to live my life doing the things I enjoy, learning how to make myself happy, and being something other than traumatized. Thanks so much for sharing your story, and just hope you know that you’re not alone. ❤

FYI if you're in the US this is not the norm, there's fights/ arguments sometimes between patients and sometimes between the nurses and the patients, guard etc . A lot of these places have had riots, rapes, some although rare even murder. Look the reviews for yourself on your Google maps or wherever you can find actual reviews for these hospitals. You'll also find a lot of them have lower reviews than your local county jail ( there's a reason people in prison refuse and rather stay in the pen rather than go to a mental hospital . There's a saying that the mental hospital is the middle ground between jail and prison) . Yes there are good ones out there yet even the good ones will still have fights etc

I just found out my daughter who is I her twenties is suffering from this and am trying to get all the information as possible 🙏🏾

As someone with bipolar (plus GAD, OCD, C-PTSD, ADHD), NOTHING has changed. I am slowly going broke trying to look after my mental health. $250.00 a session to see a psychologist as you only get 10 visits which I have burnt through in the first 4 months of this year. $350.00 a session to see the psychiatrist for 10 mins, $250.00 a month on medication. Running out of sick leave because when I am unwell my employ advises I can't come to work even if I am ok just not 100%. It is exhausting trying to keep up. Oh and that's not including the issues I face with my husband and son.

Very interesting interview :)

So happy it's up! Thanks for having me on, Joel.

Sometimes it's hard to learn the environmental aspects

Hello my name is tamera

I have depression

I understand what your saying you make sense

Mashaallah 💕

Sorry for the choppy comments. Yes i have a story!

No nothing has changed obviously either!

This is like a word for word testimony as to what ive gone through here too! (Australia).

Thank you for this. I can relate to this story. My mother was diagnosed with psychotic depression which was triggered by my birth. But I am pretty sure she was not well balanced before that. Funny about the mosaic trays - we had mosaic ash trays around the house that she had made while hospitalized. I too can't look at mosaic art the same as most people.

I needed this video so much, thank you, I lost my mum at age 11, she took her own life in 1999 and I was orphaned and put into foster care homes, being an orphan to parents who had mental illnesses I was treated differently because I was an orphan, it still hurts my last memories are of hospitals and I had found her after school, it's not fair on the children, it stays with us for life and this made me feel less alone in so many ways. I'm understanding she was living a life of hell while alive, I tried all I could as a kid to take care of her, learning this isn't normal still. I have 2 step children and I would nor couldn't put those children through this, I'm greatful for my experiences to be a better person and parent now with more empathy and more sensitivity has made me a calmer person who talks everything through, no yelling or anger in this house, just we use our words and express ourselves on whiteboards, they are all over the house, it's great for all, write out what you think or feeling about and share your thoughts without judgment has been a godsend with a house of males. So I have had to learn to be a parent and learn about mental health for us and them, and the white boards are great for expressing anything for us as parents, and also good for us as adults, write it out is a great idea I got from the mental hospital walls now there's small white boards all over but it helps us be better parents and also more expressing our thoughts and feelings. So we can see if we're all doing well mentally. I never want our kids to feel alone. Like us who were brought up with mental illnesses and addictions in our parents. Great video. Im saving it because it's so helpful thank you. ✌️ 🇨🇦

I can really relate to this. Amazing podcast, you're doing an admirable thing sharing your story and bringing awareness for kids and younger generations. My mother was diagnosed with BPD/Bipolar in a time and age when mental health was heavily stigamized, and instead of helped she was labeled as crazy. As kids my brothers and I grew up in a whirlwind childhood of drama and emotion believing this narrative until we gained awareness and realised we too had mental illness. Other unfortunate kids find other ways to deal and cope turning to drugs and crime.

My story is almost identical to hers. Thank you for sharing.

My whole life I've 'dealt' with what I thought was mums depression. Im starting think at the age of 35 that maybe she's bipolar. Im currently going through an extremely difficult time in my life and, yet again, she has tried to take the focus and make it about her and been abusive in the process. Are there any meet up groups in Victoria that I could join for insight and support?

Made me tear up, so touching

My mom was recently diagnosed with bipolar 1 in 2022, although she started experiencing mania at the start of 2020. She had to be in the hospital 3 times during the last episode of mania, they couldn’t keep her in due to New York State law. Still mad that it took so long to get her in the hospital for the final time and longest time.
