      King George life does not fit bipolar. Bipolar does not have such long gaps. 1765 depression. 1788 psychosis. 1811, "incapacity." Those are 20 years apart. That's not bipolar.
      We know from long studies - nearly 20 years of large groups (1000) that cycles are 1 to 3 years (more 1) and roughly at a 2 to 1 ratio of duration depression to mania.
      George May have had some psychiatric condition. But it wasn't bipolar.

    This is the kind of video that I’d have to watch more than once in order to fully grasp the richness of the information it presents. The most comforting thought I’ve told myself time and time again when I go through bipolar disorder is that millions across the history of human existence have experienced the same suffering or worse. And even though it always feels like you are going through this all by yourself, I promise you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We are all in it together, and we can all get through it. Thank you for this beautiful work!

      @slabmonster1950 Hello! I would encourage you to explore/research women on the spectrum. I've read that there can be a comorbidity with Bipolar and Autism. I'm not a professional. Like yourself, I found all the online tests I could do and then reached out to a psychologist to explore a clinical diagnosis. I was fortunate to have coverage, and I realized that not everyone has access to these services. Your GP should be able to provide some resources. All the best.

    I am 44 and was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I’ve suffered and caused so much pain to my loved ones. I always knew something was wrong but could never communicate or figure out what it was. As a creative person and artist I’ve went all in on my mental health and finally have a chance to have control. Hearing the way my mind works verbalized so eloquently is very comforting and also interesting.

    I love his explanation of it being circular, it's so accurate. I see so much stigma for the word "bipolar" I would rather it be called "manic depression." It's more descriptive and less easy to use as an insult.

  • @Moniquid
    @Moniquid 10 місяців тому +6

    I think that mania and depression are not so much symptoms as states. Psychosis is more complex. But in any state, our thoughts and feelings are not symptoms… they are really ours, but different ones are brought into focus depending on the mood/state.
    Our identity is constant… while there may be experimentation during mania due to subdued inhibition. And serious doubt, anxiety and even suicidal thoughts due to the depression, and lack of energy to fight them… But we are never someone else. We are just ourselves sometimes going at 100mph sometimes barely in idle.
    I think that the bipolar disease is the lack of resilience to the stressors, which allows us to be pushed into one extreme or another. But our identity remains intact and transcends the mood states.

    This is one of the best things I have watched about bi-polar- thank you. From this point forward I am going to say I have circular psychosis. It is such a better and more accurate description.
    I agree that bi-polar seems to be, as a term, over used and often in a negative way. I’ve lost count how many films/tv programmes I’ve watched over the last few years that refer to bi-polar.
    So yes we need a new name. We need, as those who suffer with this illness, to not reclaim bipolar but redefine it more accurately in order to move away from stigma and forward into an era that allows for a more accurate description of this crippling illness
    Thank you for this and all you do 🙏🏼💕

      I've always been very seasonal affective disorder in reverse. It gets really anxious blue moods as spring grows to summer in June or sometimes later in May and by later July early August I think I have too much day too high temperatures this excessive light of the day and in the past I think I started to hide indoors air conditioning cranked to forty eight degrees and shades drawn down with a blanket heavy weighted blanket on my knees and lower extremities just hiding until around Virgo season that last week of August or sometime after the labor day holiday time I started to get back to a base mood that was not angry irritated anxious or abysmal and when I was under the age of 35 if unmedicated by my November birthday I would have begun to cycle upwards toward sleepless highly productive mania hypomanic mood swings and then because I didn't comply with the meds I usually ended up getting dark moods yet again the shadows unfurling as early as Easter time to the other side of the autumn me. I'm not able to afford insurance right now so have been unmedicated for a little over two years and I am at fifty asymptomatic for the last three and a half years and hopefully it might have phased out of my life but I don't get that comfortable until I see it in remission for a decade or more.

A good support system and therapy is needed as well. Medication helps but you need all of the resources to do well. It’s still a stigma and judged by many. The Dr. is right, bi polar is an inaccurate name. People are so much more than a label. Also, for me personally… I need God and praying is soooooo essential.

    I was wrongfully diagnosed with this and medication caused some damage that is permanent. I’m not happy about it. Caused me to loose years and feel physically terrible and stigmatized by the diagnosis. I never had any symptoms. It’s something I didn’t get to investigate due to harassment. It’s hard to hold psychiatrists accountable.

    "Theia mania" meaning divine madness.
    The ancients believed people with symptoms of depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and epilepsy to be "touched by fire," or favored by the gods.
    Centuries later we still don't really know the exact causes to many of these, and we can still see spiritual aspects of these afflictions.
    Be it spiritual/mental or physical, the ancients were much more supportive of people struggling with these.
    People were looked favorably upon from society, instead of being locked up to go insane like we cure these nowadays.

      My thoughts exactly. It seems if we only go back to Aristotle, we understand it just as well today as we did back when whoever said it was inflammation of black bile. I researched back to divine mania too. People were revered as having a connection to something beyond, not tranquilized or thrown aside.

Also many do not get explanation of anything regarding meds and diagnosis.. I wish this would've been acknowledged by both speakers.

    I dont know if youve ever heard of this symptom but i think it could be used to test people for bipolar because it seems to be a physical manisfestation of my illness. Sometimes, not all the time, everything in bipolar goes waves right, but anyways, sometimes when i watch the news i cry or tear up over news stories that have no emotional pull, like stories about better crops being gentecially modified, and then i notice it with more and more reactions that seem inappropriate. It's almost like the manisfestation of rapid speech i guess but you said your in the ISBD so maybe it could help, thanks for your timd

It was difficult cos it was always by text which I hate but I know it's only ever when he's in the depressed state and he pushes everyone away.
