Bipolar Disorder - Dr. Kay R Jamison & Patty Duke - part 4 - Transtorno Bipolar

[1955porsche]

bipolars always have this in common, big time substance abuse , boose or pot..self medicating to even out the swings.

[braymanj]

The spouses and partners of bi-polar sufferers, deserve a gold medal. They go through hell also.

[DA90027]

My father was bi-polar, lithium finally helped him but one of the dangers is they think they are feeling good and then stop taking the lithium, you have to take it for life. It's no walk in the park, I feel bad for anyone with depression.

Only stupid people would attach a stigma to a mental illness.

[swebb1989]

@gobsiter Now that you posted this, probably not.

[ilibertyi]

You never recover from bipolar.....you're always in recovery,,. you[re always going to be bipolar. it's treatable, but it never goes away.

The difference with being Bipolar and having Cancer, is that once you have it, you'll always have it. That is not the same with Cancer! A lot of people are very ignorant about Bipolar and even Cancer. They don't want to know of it because they think it doesn't apply to them, but I'm sure they know of someone with the disorder or the disease.

[harryf200]

@amazonqueen13 Indeed, BP has a worse mortality rate than some cancers ...

[robbiesyohn]

@amazonqueen13 isn't that the truth. I suffer from a form of depression similar to manic/bipolar but it is once a month and then goes away. I get moody,hyper,elated. Then down.

[amazonqueen13]

Bipolar is like cancer. There are different kinds of Cancers who attack the people in different ways, and there are several types of Bipolar Disorder that are not necessarily the same symptoms on the people who have them. Every person is different, and that is why it's so hard for anybody to understand it if they don't have the disorder. People needs to get educated just as with Cancer.

[48shopaholic]

@amazonqueen13 BOY DO I AGREE WITH YOU!  People NEED to BE EDUCATED! The Problem is They Don't want to Listen! Anytime I've Tryed explaining My BP1 to differant friends from my Church, They either ignore me or just walk away! It's So Frustrating! How do we Educate people like that!

[amazonqueen13]

@48shopaholic

Thanks for the reply!

The problem is that Bipolar is a Tabu word, and ignorant people think that it may be contagious if they relate to anyone that is Bipolar!

[cusanusnicolas]

No such thing. Likely causes: amalscams, vaccinations, too much fish, poor diet, vitamin deficiency, psychoactive medications

[irretractable]

You're ignorant

[babygilbert0]

Kay Redfeild Jamison rocks!!!

[Edukate4ever]

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Maybe in time your anger will dissipate so you can enjoy life...

[GurnSi]

Need to be with a Bipolar??Expect: Irrational,unpredictable conduct,rants Immorality/cheating/lawsuits Crazy destructive moods,habits,sleep patterns Boasting/grandiosity Drug,tobacco,alcohol abuse Violence;verbal abuse Insults,demands,ingratitude They're perfect;always right,never learn Lying/exaggerating No remorse/conscience,no'Sorry' Breathtaking hypocrisy Paranoia,all your predecessors'wicked liars' Recklessness re work,friends,house,driving,cas­h Denial: to them,you're nuts! Pain,grief.RUN!

[Edukate4ever]

Then again there are many people who do not have the diagnosis of Bipolar disorder that are just miserable human beings....

[harryf200]

@Edukate4ever But they may have some other undiagnosed disorder, like Dysthymia.

[GurnSi]

Per PubMed, BIPOLAR often is a cynical FRAUD+HOAX to justify excuse encourage explain: sadistic immoral unreasonable/irrational vile pompous/grandiose obsessive vindictive antisocial vicious/depraved self-centered selfish/boastful deceitful behavior, to get kicks/sympathy/drugs/attention­/welfare. Some shrinks collaborate. WARNING If you meet a bipolar: save time, money, grief, sanity - RUN! Now. Shun 'em forever. You can't fix them; they CHOSE to act this way. Find folk worthy of your kindness.

[luckytwentyseven]

there are some bipolar people who aren't assholes. LOL, ur obviously delusional.

[GurnSi]

Correction. There are MANY "bipolars" who aren't assholes some of the time.

[luckytwentyseven]

then why the fuck do you keep spamming tons of videos!?!

[GurnSi]

LOL@'tard luckytwentyseven - is there some part of "There are MANY "bipolars" who aren't assholes some of the time" that you are incapable of parsing? Fucking dumbass! ;D ;D ;D

[luckytwentyseven]

ur mom is a dumbass cause i saw her last night. you look at your own poop and smell it.

[luckytwentyseven]

ur a just a troll and spammer who likes to create problems by trying to make bipolar a big conspiracy.

[babygilbert0]

Be thankful that you don't have to live with these issues. I hope that you never do have to live with the destructive manias and horribly rutheless deppresions. Why is ok to rub peoples weakness in there face I know from expierence people don't want to live with this, it's a hard life. I'm sure that you have struggles in your life I'm sure you have insecurity's but it would be more benificial to yourself to try to understand where others are coming from and to spread love rather than hate.

[GurnSi]

Need to be with a Bipolar??Count on: Paranoia,unending complaints about everyone Irrational,unpredictable conduct+rants Crazy destructive moods,habits,sleep patterns Immorality/cheating/lawsuits Boasting/grandiosity They're perfect;always right,never learn Drug,tobacco,alcohol abuse Endless insults+demands Lying/exaggerating Denial: to them,you're the nut! Breathtaking hypocrisy Recklessness re home,work,friends,driving,cash Violence;verbal abuse No remorse/conscience,no'Sorry' Pain,grief. RUN!

[Edukate4ever]

I have a friend with Bipolar Disorder. He struggles with depression and insomnia.

He manages his illness with counseling and medication. Not everyone with the illness displays the destructive behaviors you have listed. There is a wide spectrum when it comes to the severity of Bipolar Disorder so don't stereotype everyone. My friend is a physician and has been in practice for 30 years. He has been voted Top Doc several times. You should run .... to the library and educate yourself.

[amazonqueen13]

@Edukate4ever

If your comment was directed to me, You are wrong! You can control the illness, but you can never get rid of it! You need to read my comment again.

Thanks for your reply anyway!

[RETIREMESOON]

@GurnSi PLEASE EDUCATE ME on Bipolar.I have 2 degresss from two colleges.I have studied psychology for 35 years,worked on disturbed wards for 26 years and have Bipolar and I would love an education from a scholar like YOU about my illness ?

Your stating things that are part of a dual diagnois and pathology.

Are you a medical doctor or psychiatrist ?
