Bipolar and hypersexual behaviour Webinar
This is very informative, I wonder if you could do the same regarding hypersexuality in men. It appears almost none exists compared to the material available to women.
This is good but there is a HUGE difference between men and women on this subject. It would be great to rekindle this discussion with some guys on the panel.
What are those bumps on your forehead
Hypersexuality and Mixed emotions.! Depression while being manic is what they call a mixed episode. I find these episodes the hardest as it’s can be very frustrating and alot of the time anger leads inwards
🙏🫶 So sad 🥺💔
Really interesting thanks. Do miss the newsletters though. Not as much info in online updates...
Such a well put-together virtual meeting. The first I have attended. Informative, insightful and reassuring. Well done.
Thank you so much for posting this! 😊
Yes 👍🏼
I use the Bipolar UK app, and as Tania Gergel talked about, the mood scale is insufficient for mixed state. I often go back and switch my rating between high and low because it is difficult to rate mixed state on the traditional scale - adding a few descriptors on subsequent screens doesn't provide an overall picture of a pattern or cycle to assist in management. It would be great if the app could be tweaked to register mixed state more obviously.
Fantastic to see the contributions from all over the globe! Together we can make a real difference 🙏🏻🥰
POV: me sitting here with 23 accounts (listed on an app I’ve made myself bc nothing out there caters for this many accounts…) wondering why (nearly) everyone else just has one or two. This is all resonating really strongly! Thanks so much for putting this out there guys
really interesting thank you
Mya-Rose and Anushka's conversation and the QandAs really transforms a challenging and complex subject to being accessible, real and understandable. Well done everyone.
Please can someone helps me with the first lady that spoke UA-cam channel. Thanks
I lost my father due to suicide from bipolar. Please keep them close to you!
1me too.. 3 days before my 14 birthday. it is now a month ago and i miss him so much.
@@jungkookietaetae5151 oh you are so young. Please take care of yourself and know this disease is not in control. I was 33 yo and we took good care of my father. However he still did it so not in our control! Condolences 💐
Hello Sir, How are you doing? Do you want an SEO specialist & UA-cam thumbnail designer to grow your channel? Anyway, Can we have a meeting to know more clearly? Thanks
Thankyou Nicky, I can now understand more about this condition and appreciate you speaking so openly about it.
My daughter went into hospital through having a psychotic episode here in the UK, She was given Quetiapine and Lorazepam 3 times a day. She was discharged after 6-7 weeks then has came to stop with me, her father. She was put on a waiting list to be cared for by the Local mental health team (LMHT) and is still waiting after around 2 months. It has been impossible to get the right care for her being passed from one GP to another and she has gone downhill fast where we’ve needed to go to A&E because of suicidal thoughts. Over 5 hours wait where it was agreed she needed a bed only to be told by the Crises team she will have to go home as no beds available. The two staff who decided she needed a bed couldn’t believe it and tried to speak to someone other than the two who came from the Crises team. We eventually had to go home and it was agreed the Crisis team would call twice a day. She was offered a bed after about a week at Southampton which is over 250 miles from home and would of caused her more anxiety.
As I am british, i obviously know what services are available for me in the u.k.I have never been to India but I would love to one day!. I am a private language tutor and I speak fluent French, do British Sign language etc and I am learning Spanish Spanish
I am a sufferer this is very insightful thank you
Its not only Black men in the UK. White men dont get tagged with it as a prison sentence. Your talking sense about the psychological difficulty but whack about percentages. Other reasons for that, including money, area, schools and welfare.
Can we access Kayleigh"s TV programme?
Christmas has always been overwhelming for me especially when you’ve lost a loved one many years before, I’m fortunate to have a support system but at times depression and mania don’t care about that. I have to feel what I feel and try not to let my triggers grip me but get involved and listen to others and sometimes start a conversation with others about what the holiday means to them and things they have had to overcome. Stories help me to understand I’m not alone in my episodes…. Right now in the back of my mind I’m thinking “God I will glad when it’s all over” lol
Christmas that is not my life ….just to be clear
What a brilliant discussion! I need to listen to more of these!. I have been a sufferer since I was 7 years old unfortunately
You’re blessed with Doc daro herbal medication
More research needed exploring the connection between TBI and mood disorders.
big man your dropping the big facts thank you big help with this essay
You knew my uncle,John Shinnie,who really wrote a lot of songs.
This is absolutely brilliant!
Thank you Nicky. I have heard of bipolar of course but not spoken about in such detail or what it is and what it can do to good people like yourself. Thank you for sharing.

I’m struggling right now.. I just want the pain to stop..nothing helps..

Thanks for sharing. Your courage is very inspirational as i was recently diagnosed and trying to navigate
What an amazing organisation that offers so much support. Congratulations on your 40th...
Subscribed because I don't know the facts I'm the "opposite" as a white lady with bipolar. Like to me you look like a standard London boy? Regardless of how I see you clearly the help you need has been missing - stay strong every survivor I see tells me to suck it up if you can do it so can I
My wife put herself in a bad situation while in a hypersexual manic episode. She paid with her life. She left behind a husband, 3 kids and 2 grandkids, not to mention extended family who also cared for her deeply.
I hope you are doing ok .
So sorry.
So sorry
This is another interesting piece of research with some practical potential preventive actions. It might be useful to have some men participate in a future discussion.
Love, love, love this interview. Wonderful, inspirational and what an absolute legend Frank truly is. Despite everything he has been through in his ‘normal life’, then his boxing career, then pantomime days to boxing life, personal tragedies…..well, his positivity, clarity of mind, sense of humour, ‘that’ manners’, that trademark laugh!….well I would be speechless if I wasn’t BP & hypomanic….actually make that bit manic… if I am being honest with myself. On holiday in Greece at the moment with husband and 7 yr old Son for some R & R… trying to relax! But I cried listening to this, it was mean’t to be today. First time I have ever watched a video/interview on here since adding your channel to my favs. BP fate right there. I have, like Frank, never, ever wanted to take my own life. Couldn’t do it to my family even if I did have thoughts like that, but luckily that’s never been an issue. I have been in a hospital just the once end of November last year. But just 2 weeks then out. No way was I missing seeing my family especially my beloved Husband & Son at Christmas. So I had gone in under my own steam as this was wanted by MHT, Ambulance service etc but I ended up being sectioned once in there. Long story. Another patient messed with my head plus I had weaned off of meds in November ready for Lithium. I got a lawyer in and he got the Section removed for me so quickly probably just 2/3 days. Can’t remember exactly. Anyway enough of that….what I am trying to say is that I am off to order Franks book. Hopefully on Audio. And will watch/read his chat with Mike Tyson. No idea MT suffered with BP too & has been sectioned so many times. Very sad. Back to Frank and how he met Cas (?) football person (?) on the train platform in his roller skates. Wow. Going to look up who he is too because that man sounds like a legend too, & an empath and maybe ‘Highly Sensing’ like me, different to being ‘over sensitive’ (which I thought I was for years & hated it). So HS people are always on high alert…the ‘canary in the coal mine’. Ultra sensitive to surroundings/vibes like a ‘sponge’. You may well know all this! So Cas (?) was drawn to helping Frank that day when he was ‘possibly’ (only possibly, according to Frank - bless, because he is so nice/kind) as he basically had no choice…..his brain just wanted to help, potentially stop Frank being abused maybe mentally or physically if they were silly enough to start something. On top of all that, once again it was mean’t to be. They became great friends. You are drawn to your own little tribe somehow and end up with a special little handful loving ‘gang’ of friends….like me - which I am forever grateful for. Before I end this essay…..which has only taken about an hour to do 🤦🏻♀️ It’s very interesting how the media portray boxing, how they have portrayed Frank (and many other boxers) over the years too mostly in a negative way . Right, THE END!! 😆 x
Interesting Conversation , Thanks for the up load
Thank you so much for this - it really helps to understand xxx
