Not commonly talked about is the excruitating pain that is depression. Any psychiatrist I have met seems to think it is mostly a state of emotion, but that isn't how I would describe it. While I did feel "sad", it was more akin to feeling grief as having lost a child - unspeakably grief-striken - and sick sick sick at the same time. The way a person with cancer describes their malaise. It is a whole body feeling and truly the most horrible experience of my life. I take medication now and haven't felt like that in years, but I will never ever forget. I've had 2 children and would gladly go through labour a thousand times over than experience depression like that again even once.
You are absolutley right @shieh.4743 . I have bipolar 1, and the depression part of it is absolutely not just emoitional. There is all sorts of physical pain and discomfort.
It's a horrible condition. My family member couldn't sleep, but would stay in bed all day and evening. I would try to be quiet in house, then feel like I couldn't live in my own space. It was a toxic environment and the doctors weren't a great help.
the worst part of bipolar for me is that i am not allowed anti-depressants when i am in the depths of despair it is such a hopeless feeling like my anguish will never end
Late to comment, but I would like to add(as someone w/Bipolar I) that there are also mixed episodes where a patient has symptoms of both manic symptoms and depressive symptoms at once. For me, this is irritability, restlessness, racing (depressive)thoughts,SH,suicidal ideation(with the energy to act upon these impulses making them even more dangerous),hopelessness,insomnia,anhedonia,etc. I have mixed episodes way more often than pure mania,although I still(obviously) have mania itself occasionally.
Your entire body feels like cement and you feel like you have pnemonia from the fatigue in your chest. also the depression can get so bad you feel like you're being followed. depression is normally when i sabotage jobs because i don't have a choice but to stay in bed when its severe. this is why interventions so important
Thank you for this video. I just found your chanel yesterday and found it very interesting. Do you have any videos of mass psychosis? It is a theme I'm very interested in.
Thank you Dr. Really great Video.. I would like to become a patron of your channel can you send me a link so I can do so. I have alot of ? For you. I have PTSD and feeling lost right now. Thanks Dr. Love from Anaheim CA.
Hey Bug', I've got a video that talks about suicide but none on a reaction to a suicidal patient... I'll dig into UA-cam and see if there's any content that's appropriate to react to!
I think anyone who is under a doctor's care for mental illness should not have a do not resuscitate form instated. It just foesnt seem proper to me. :(
Too many closed and leading questions, unfortunately. Hopefully, things have moved on since then, with better listening skills and working in a more person-centred way.

Glad you're doing better.

Thank you for this as the depression is by far the worst part and as you stated, consumes most of my life.
Glad you're in Australia 👍🇦🇺
This lady always impresses me when I see her. She asks amazing questions for someone in the 80's. What a genius.
Never in my life have I had an experience like this in the hospital.

They say episodes with 'mixed features' are more common than pure depressions and pure manias in BD.
I never knew mania was this. This sounds just like my family member. I thought mania meant super active, like grandiose feelings and actions.
@@mj-ls7qr8xp3nit does, it probably just appears as mixed in some people
looking forward to the mental health first aid content. Seems to be a rather neglected realm of care for the people in our lives
Great to hear Ben - should start filming it tomorrow actually!
You're so awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, I really learnt something from this example and analysis.

Please can you do suicidal next

I'm sorry. I never locked myself up under house arrest when I did nothing wrong.

Dictors were made aware my person wasnt eating. Their response was she must be eating something .... Horrible tesponse. And incorrect.

Was really interested in the video till u mentioned "she's an actor".
Showing a video of a person who is really suffering a mental illness is probably unethical.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.I’m bipolar and have had crippling depression but I’m coherent enough to give consent. But I was considered high functioning
Western medicine which I don't believe in
It's an actress?
No thanks.
