  • k so I get easily distracted, sometimes at night I get depressed i dunno if its from being tired or if i get depressed. some days im depressed not all the time though, generally a nice happy dude. every now and then think if I died would people miss me and all that but id never commit suicide or anything like that. Dont know if im bipolar or not or just normal like everyone and just get depressed sometimes

  • ok, ive made a mistake i thought bpd was an acronym for Bi-Polar Disorder, silly me ^.^

  • Gott gebe mir Gelassenheit, Dinge hinzunehmen, die ich nicht ändern kann. Den Mut, Dinge zu ändern, die ich ändern kann. Und die Weisheit, das eine vom andern zu unterscheiden....

  • You folks should come and talk to us other bipolar sufferers at Mapofmates. comm!

  • I am diagnozed with Bipolar 1 and this isn't close to what I have experienced..

  • this is more like a person with great depression or unipolar rather than bipolar.

  • This video is a bite-size, afterschool special something that is not representative of Bipolar I, II, Hypomanic, or Rapid-Cycling. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I-- 12 years ago. I have a 4 year degree in social work and have been studying this brain disorder for 12 years as a mental health consumer. Grade for the student nurse--D-. Unfortunately some people will assume this is reality. Sorry--the intentions were probably good but you missed the mark.

  • So since I have bipolar, that means I feel the need to spend my money on a Gateway computer?

  • I`m bi polar level 1.I`m the greatest artist to walk the face of this earth,But i cant stay focused long enouph to do anything with it.sorry.

  • how do you know if you have bipolar?♥

  • @westmonchick

    Go to google and type in: the effective are you bipolar test. click on the one on okcupid.com.

    Take it and if it is inconclusive or positive, see a psychologist or psychiatrist asap.

    Good luck! 

  • @westmonchick I found out by accident. Stephen fry said about manic depression having highs during a qi episdoes . I watched his documentry Secret life of a manic depressive (on google videos). I knew i had depressive episodes for no apparent reason but it wasnt till i watched it and saw the manic aspects that i finally knew i wasnt mad . I saw my gp and explained my belief , i was referred to the mental health team and eventually diagnosed 18months ago aged 43.

  • The worst possible choice for a drug for bipolar is Abilify.

    Avoid Abilify.

    Please visit ABIILIFY KILLS on YouTube today.

  • Bi-sexual here and im bipolar says it on my channel,but if you want to chat send me a messege and we will work it out from there.

  • Anybody who says this isn't a good representation is an idiot. I have somebody close to me who suffers from this, and this represents exactly how they act.

  • @MaiCustomGuides Same here, my ex best-friend (she cut me out of her life completely because she was convinced that I was having sex with her husband) is EXACTLY like this. Paranoia, over-inflated sense of her own attractiveness, convinced that everyone was either in love with her or else bitching about her behind her back. Would stay in bed for days at a time, wouldn't eat but drank alcohol and took valium constantly. I hope she will be okay but she has closed all avenues of communication.

  • CCHR.org

  • sometimes i hate bi polar people but then im like its just an illness.. funk

  • This is just the downside of bipolar 1. Reminds me alot of my sister and father who have typeI. Ive got type II. This vid. is good to see the severity of bipolar and that its real. It really does have schizophrenic traits in it. I ve worked two years with people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar. There are similarities indeed.

  • indeed this was a terrible representation of bipolar disorder

  • bipolar type 1 is what this video seems to target not 2

  • I've been living with bipolar type 1 for more than a decade, and it is becoming more and more clear to me that persons who do not have this disorder really have no clue; regardless of what their text books and clinical experiences tell them. And, in my opinion the DSM IV is far too limited in it's definition of what really happens inside the real life experiences of a bipolar patient. Too many fellow patients fall into the "Not Otherwise Specified" category for it to be reliably accurate.

  • Caution: Talk is cheap. Enjoy being geniuses, why does everyone have to know? Just make a difference and show them what a human can be capable of.

  • i think the intention was not to make a movie about how you feel as a bipolar patient. rather it is a neat film (with wisely chosen music) that should help nursing students memorize the symtoms they have to study for the exam. which is actually quite amusing if you are bipolar.

  • This isn't bipolar... I would know..

    I'm bipolar.

    This whole thing with Prince William or whatever would be a different disorder.. :l

    I know someone with that issue as well. Thinking things WILL indeed happen that are impossible to happen.

  • @KikyoChanXD The prince william thing is a delusional aspect of bipolar I and is accurate, it could go worse as it does with me and become full blown psychosis. I thought my friends were in a witches coven and I was their leader....I was very grateful and humbled...until I regained my senses a week later.

  • I dont get the prince william bit, I mean I thought that was what someone with schizophrenia would think

  • Bullshit!!! isnt Bipolar means Polarbears who likes other males and females polar bears?>>!>>!>!

  • There are some new techniques!

    Keep taking your meds. If they aren't working well, keep nudging them around with your Psychiatrist AND

    besides cognitive-behavioral therapy, yoga, music therapy, art therapy and aroma therapy, try this one:

    EMDR Eye movement desensitization reprossessing.

    It gets the left and right part of your brain transfering from one side to the other and your thoughts get untangled.

    Considerable research has gone into this. Ask your Psychologist.

  • really??? i mean REALLY? do you evan have bipolar?

  • bullshit.

  • This animation is very well made. Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't the track in one of the animations featured on Animatrix?

  • @fraternica Okay, I'm a twit. It says "Animatrix Edit" in the credits. :P

  • but you will do better than on your own some may say deal with it ... but altimintly it is you who can live knowing you have the power but it may not be aparent see what works for you not what works for misses. Watson make sure you are takin care of and do things that you want to do do some me time I hope this helps some one for then I will have done my job and find a out let may it be church or sports or gun range something that you like to do and find people that have symiliar intrest

  • the song is from the anime called animatrix the fact is though I am bipolar and I have not had a sucide action or thought at all in the entire time I have been a live I owe it to my self I guess but for thoughs that tell you to take your meds I will say no matter what make sure your doctor is working for you and the pills will follow suit and have to say chaneling works wounders duing that in the morning has helped me tramidessly and always have a good support system you will never be perfect

  • THIS WAS BADASS VERY GOOD JOB 5/5

  • I really love this video. The music and animation go well together.

  • awesome video. love the animation with the real world mixed in. thats exactly how it feels, only i break stuff too. cool song too.

  • very well done

  • This video was fantastic, and very specific depicting the Type 1 symptoms. There is help out there for everyone. Some meds might not work, but they are making new ones all the time. Just don't give up......there is help....

  • Can I get some pills for this i'm bi polar what do I do...

  • Thank you

  • I am a person with bipolar 1, and i have to say this video almost made me cry. simply because the way everything is depicted is so true. excellent video.

  • @Bomaht i was just diagnosed with type 2.. its more like unipolar disorder than bipolar type 1 but this video is how i feel most of the time , i was given anti-depressants they didnt work, imma be put on lilthium soon ... i needa blood test too, every1 i noe dnt really have ne real probs so no1 understands, i just wanted to find people who do, im tired of being told to snap out of it, neway nice comment..

  • @nippletease absolutely same story here.....down to every last word. it's horrible to feel alone all the time.

  • I was also Diagnosed by my AP with Type 2.. I am so confused right now. I came across this vid looking for leads towards recovery. I dno't think the medications would help. Help me Lord.

  • get some seroquel or smoke some weed thts what works for me :D

  • Comment removed

  • cool animation. though, isn't this normal behaviour for anyone who just broke up?

    my breakups were way worse than this and lasted weeks of having to try and reach

    my x like 30 times daily. i don't see how people can get ssi for this. we all

    have extreme ups and downs. i have friends on ssi who could work better than me,

    and have better social skills too. they're scamming the system. i feel everyday like killing my co-workers and myself almost have, but i'm not bi-polar.

    i

  • @floppycut It is time lapsed.

  • Diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attack Disorder in 2009. For 38 years, I lived with this condition, never knowing what it was. Friends & family dismissed my behaviors as being " emotionally disturbed, unstable, and moody ". When I was sad~I was unhealthy sad, suicidal sad. When I was mad.~I was breaking and destroying things mad. When I was happy~I was euphoric,but that mood can shift into madness or sadness in seconds. I never felt in control.

  • nice attempt... but no where close.

  • Very good video. You put a lot of effort into it. I hope it paid off for your nursing class.

  • good video.you don't need words to discribe bipolar disorder

  • to Contiune on what I was saying...... Well, he doesn't know i have his child.She's 4 now.I told him I lost the baby.I just sent him a pic of her on his myspace.He can't do anything bc I got my hubby's name on the birth certf.Sorry bad English.Spanish easy.Anyways.thta's what he gets for being a fuck up.

  • awesome video!

  • this is a terrible representation of bipolar disorder. sorry.

  • @caylaiscool I know right. This film is just completly random and doesn't really have anything to do with....anything!

  • I was waiting for the mania part where she books the flight, races to the airport and gets on the airplane, and then gets depressed about the whole thing and gets off the airplane, goes home, goes back to bed, then spends the next 3 weeks trying to get a refund for her ticket. Not exact, but you get the idea. Where's the mania?

  • @JeanKM1  I think that the mania is she buying a computer, then she starts to drawing, then stop at all. this disorder makes you change your mind every time, one hour you're a something, in another you have other need! I think!

    Sorry for my poor english (Y)

  • @nrcdljess Thanks. Yes. I see what you mean. I watched it again, and that is mania. You do keep changing your mind. The mania I know of is just much more extreme, your mind rushing, your speech rushing, trying to do everything at once, everything going too fast. So I just didn't see it before. Maybe if they had put faster music at that spot it would have helped.

    This video, however, is really very good just the way it is.

  • You Captured The depression but there are highs! Its like.. i feel 50% Of the time like im happy! Like i can take on the world! But the other 50% I am VERY DEPREST! like... i have no 1even though i have a beutiful wife that loves me and a 17 month old daughter.... yet ill feel like im all alone! everything people do i take as an insult 2 friends talking i take as they dont even want anything 2 do with me! even tho there just talking about the knicks game a night b4!

  • I don't have any emotion, but, like I said to the people who asked, I remember emotion, and I'm addicted to the computer.

  • i have that very same lamp at 0:19

  • what is the soundtrack I love it!

  • Really, it's a nice piece of work.

  • Unlike alot of pieces of shit people try to pass off as art here on YouTube this is pretty well done, pretty accurate too.

  • nice animation .. the matrix hasyou.

  • Its a fucking Blessing and a curse ... gosh i hate it ...more than i love it ...

  • well done - perfect description

  • Bipolar isnt something you can cure by "looking inside yourself" Or "religion"

    ITS A FUCKING MENTAL ILLNESS, nothing but time and sometimes medication can TREAT it. There is NO cure to Bipolar or schizophrenia. Im bipolar and all this bullshit about looking deep within yourself and other stuff like that will never ever help me. Im pretty stable at the moment, and i guess everyone suffering from mental illnes has their own way of TREATING it. My coping skill are very alternative

  • @slothsandshit8 Amen sister. Also being bipolar, I can't express the frustration and anger that wells up when people talk like that. My damn mother insists I'd be ok if I just "looked for something good each day." She refuses to accept the fact that I there's no cure and the doctors don't know what they are doing, eventhough I'm on my 25th medication, literally. As you well know, this shit sucks ass.

  • I have a neighbor who I thought was bipolar, she is so weird. She will get on a kick and not let it go. She drives everyone nuts with her obsessions. She got upset about cats getting on her car and leaving prints, so one morning she went outside and took about a dozen pictures of her car. Was she going to try and compare the pics to the paw prints of every cat on the street?

    She really is quite nuts.

  • thats me alright,,,

  • Very well done - I can certainly relate.

  • im so glad i dont have to suffer this.. it looks so suckish and depressing :(

  • I wish you had described it a bit more... not for me, but for everyone without a medical condition. Keep in mind, there are people without bipolar disorder or depression that think," Oh, I've been feeling bad. i want to kill myself. I might have depression! Yeah, that's it! Time to go try to relate to my kind!" and it's so stupid of them! Just cause you feel sad, it doesn't mean you got a disorder! This is meant for all you idiots out there that are actually this stupid.

  • None of you have to live with this anymore. I used to be a victim of this and I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-

  • Pretty bad representation of this illness.

  • I'm sorry, but this superficial and somewhat naive view of mental illness that's perpetuated in this video is part of why we're so awful at helping people with these disorders.

  • beautiful!

  • A lot of people don't like bipolar people and the reality of it. I am Bipolar 1 and I love this vid, as weird and crazy the character acts in this--real life is worse!! So just imagine how we feel. Its not fair having this disease/disorder because it gets worse over the years when gone untreated. I do well on Lithium, BUT, I quit my meds for different reasons. My prayer is that I and everyone with bp continue to stay on their meds. If we could control bp we wouldn't need meds. Peace and Light.

  • Been here before.. Been here forever

  • this video sucks

  • i had drug /self neglect induced borderline mania

    lack of vitamin b12 and folic acid can cause bipolar like symptoms; not to mention it can also cause panic attacks

    so don't diagnose urself with bipolar if you happen to neglect yourself of an adequate diet

    and warm wishes to all the people that do suffer from bipolar mania

  • all i know, bp1 is nothing to mess around with.....i deal with the monster every single second of my life.....this film spoke to me "hard"and i found comfort in knowing that some ppl can understand what us very elite group of bp live with.....i so appreciate this video, thanks

  • @TheTopaz27 Why did you refer to yourself as an "Elite group" i feel like thats a terrible way to describe a group of people with mental disease

  • Comment removed

  • @delxart @delxart People with Bipolar tend to get a little crazy that way. When you get far enough up there, then you can sometimes get a little crazy with the Ego you know. I have several times been convinced that i was the next profet of god till being and extra-terrestrial of some kind. I also think it might serve as a defence-mechanism for not accepting that youre just a bit looney, and you might not be THAT much smarter then everybody else. Ive been there so many times, and Im sorry....

  • i dont like this its kind of freaky

  • There is another side to the depression and that is the elation and `free spirit` moments between extremes, the moment that your clarity of thought returns, and you feel you can take on the world.

    Medication can kill these moments but many people with the condition end up craving the highs.

    Believe me I know,

    Anyone diagnosed should believe that this is the begining of a whole new life chapter and it neednt be as bad as this video would have you believe.

    NEVER NEVER GIVE UP

  • I have a gf that has bipolar and when she is hypomanic, she would talk to me in such a way like she's arguing with me. She gets annoyed so easily and turns little things into arguments and they don't even matter. To make matters worse, she accuse me of mental abuse when all I do I argue back and try to put sense into her doings. I realize that when she is in her mode, she becomes adamant and refuse to lose. I don't think I can take this anymore. If I leave I'm sure she has no place to go.

  • Wow, same here - identical except my bf has bipolar. I could have written your post. Good luck.

  • Does the girl have Psychosis in addition to being Bipolar? Can people be Bipolar but not have Psychosis too?

  • the part about wanting a friend, i related most to

  • I appreciate the artistic merit of this film. HOWEVER, the defining feature of Bipolar 1 is MANIA. You state that this film covers most of the symptoms of Bipolar 1 but it doesn't even scratch the surface. In fact, it indicates schizophrenia as much as it does bipolar. When a bipolar person experiences such delusions the term is (loosely) schizo-affective Bipolar. All that you cover is depression and some schizo-affective disorder (seems to me). Nice art and music though...

  • depressing.

  • this video , doesnt say much about bipolar realy...not educating anyone about this disorder at all.

  • it's called a psychiatric ward, not a 'mental ward'

  • @Steffateetee It's a Goddamn Nut House. It's filled with psycho's and power hungry orderlies. It's fucking Hell and that's it.

  • @Steffateetee ya a pyschiaTRICK ward

  • Amazing! WHat software do you use for this? Incredible :D x

  • Comment removed

  • nicely put but remember to keep control - otherwise, they will take you down friend. good luck.

  • @FoxxNightingale good way to put it! My sister-ina is such a bitch! SHe makes fun of people with it.I told her atleast I'm not a whore & a gold digger,lol! If u notice alot of people make fun of people woth bipolar.My ex bf would get mad & tell me to go take my bills& then call me a crazy bitch.Plus, When I was prego by his sorry ass he called his ex gf that lives 3,00 miles away to tell her he loves her.Then had the nerve to touch my belly & say he loved me.

  • @FoxxNightingale i ve done everything u just said today and now i discover i m bipolar?....christ...but the weirdest thing is that i kinda like this misery it s become very comforting ...it kinda sucks that i can't get rid of all the paranoia ...i keep thinking that someone is following my every move through my freakin eyes...it affects my sense of privacy ....

  • @FoxxNightingale i feel the same as u do i just didn't know how to describe that thank u

  • @FoxxNightingale this looks like my weekends

  • @FoxxNightingale i feel the exact same way , nowadays i stay away from every1 , becuz of them not understanding me they hurt me , when all i wanted was to be alone sumtimes they just didnt understand , said extremely hurtful things n did extremely hurtful things.... i just want it all to end it never will, fuck every1 else u noe who u r , be true to urself .. tats all u need

  • @FoxxNightingale well said

  • @FoxxNightingale first of all, are you eating healthy? What type of oil do you cook with? Do you take vitamins everyday? Do you get plenty of exercise and sunlight? What medication have the pyschiaTRICKS got you on? Trust me ive been through it all and im healthy as can be. I'm on NO medication and living my life to the fullest. I know EXACTLY what you mean about the carelessness of sleep, feeling like your not "normal" and you dont fit in, i went through it all, message me and we'll talk

  • I thought I was bipolar, but I actually have a thyroid problems.

    Symptoms can be very similar in some ways...

  • very good job!

  • umm whats the name of this song?

  • Medication for Bipolar is important because Bipolar is a brain disorder. Though it is triggered by stressful events, the disorder is primarily biological and therefore usually can't be controlled without medication. Sure, the drugs are ridiculously expensive, but the meds themselves are not a scam. A Bipolar person's neurotransmitters send off imbalanced levels of serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine, and for most people it's difficult to control that solely by making lifestyle changes.

  • Comment removed

  • great video. really creative, and it touches through a lot of the common symptoms very well. props!

  • Not to say that there isnt people that suffer from severe mental problems, but I dont believe all the hype and figures that are out there. Additionally, Drs diagnose/prescribe so readily without any reservation. Before you start any medication I would challenge you to seriously educate yourself about our food supply, scrutinize your diet and exercise more. A great place to start would be to watch a movie called Food, Inc and read a book called UltraMetabolism.

  • Your wrong about somthings! I exercise and eat normal but i still happens to me!

    Sometimes my exercise can set mania off plus anti- depressant aswell. This is a mental condition that me and millions worldwide are trying to understand and get to grips with, but everybody is differen't when it comes to this. I do understand what you are trying to say but its not working for me!

  • your not one of the scientolgy cult person

    who thank they know more then doctors

  • Grammar critically hits you. you die.

  • This is not an ENGLISH CLASS.

    Want to talk about grammer just watch the idiots on the F network. beck mis spells most of his words.

    Bill o the clown has fiction more then non fiction on his news.

    SHANNITY is so dumb he has to have people to hold up cards telling him what to say on his talking points

  • This is not an English class but the language used to communicate here is English. Therefore if you can't be bothered to learn just the basics it means you can't be bothered about this conversation at all. The mistakes you make are the typical internet ones, made by people who don't care about their interlocutors. So, feel free to join the F*** network in my stead, and come back when you can put a couple of words together.

  • still, I know the facts, and you do not.

    so keep on with the right wing talkingpoints idiot

  • The only "fact" that you state is that instead trying to make yourself understood you rather focus on blowing the whistle versus the unseen enemy, insult people and insinuate totally irrelevant facts, such as assuming that I like the right wing politics, which I don't. So, keep hugging the trees and keep quacking about conspiracies, anyway this is a talk between you and yourself, as you proved to be totally blind and deaf to other people's comment.

    Seriously, you are a really sad individual.

  • You keep hugging the trees is another right wing talking point, what is wrong boy cannot stay with the facts.

    I love trees espcially what you can do with the profits after cutting them down,

    guess living in a mobile home probably a fema tralior is making you sick boy.

    guess that SSI check does come in handy with all the meds you have to buy

  • Congrats for yet another shower of meaningless words put one after another. you think you are special, independent, but you are widely overvaluing yourself, and even though you probably dont know that, you are just a tool of your higher ups trying to use you and others as cannon fodder for their profit. Really, total lack of argumentation and unintelligible language. I have made a few points of mine, you just repeated the hippie banter randomly and in terrible English. Evapourate.

  • The only proff that you put forward is that you are a right wing nut case.

    you are on SSI 20 something still living at home with mama and daddy

  • I'm sorry, but that was a pathetic sensational video. Anyone wondering if they have this disorder should do themselves a favor and disregard this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Whats worst is i just turned 18 yesterday and it feels like nothing is happening for me all my ambitions & hopes have fade away because its hard to think of a job when your mind is one a diffrent plane & also i dont trust myself because of my horrible attitude and when someone gives me a dirty look i just wanna cut there head off i dont know,im just tired of everything being so raw and negative i was such a happy kid idk maybe i might start up a band seems right music is my best freind.

  • @deanblitz Aw...

  • Hey man, you sound like you're in rough shape, but nobody here can give you a diagnosis.

    Keep track of your mood/energy levels. The way bipolar works is, you have an elevated energy/mood for a certain period of time. You're usually impatient and you get very little sleep. After this, you crash. A common thing would be 2 weeks manic, 3 weeks depressed. They can last over a year, or less than a day. The important thing is to see a doctor. Feel free to send me a message for more information.

  • Secret is, don't try to be like the others. Look inside yourself, as shallow and bad as it can look like, and see what YOU want to do, fcuk the society, fcuk the rest, see what YOU like, even small apparently insignificant thing and centre your life on it.

  • @torquey1 Its hard work when you have a family, or a spouse who is suffering from your behaviour. All I wanted to do was focus on seemingly irrelevant and disconnected things, whilst all around me I was leaving a trail of misery. Anyone who tried to get in my way was likely to be attacked, or witness me go on screaming mindlessly at them. I can tell society to F*** off, but not my wife and baby daughter.

  • I think i have bipolar but i dont know,i used to be social & freindly but i was always aggressive and morbidly hateful & said weird thing's thought i was chosen,anyway its gotten the better of me ive lost all of my freinds my family think im losing my mind and im just stuck in a void,things like losing freinds & breaking up with gf's dont really bother me like it would with other people maybe im just selfish,but im in a real crisis at the moment,its fucking hell i wanna shoot out my brain.

  • Omega 3 can help you but bipolar disorder cannot be cured

  • @LadyHaruko

    Everything and anything can be cured. Each person is different so each person's cure will be different. Just because "they" have not developed and packaged a pill does not mean there's no cure and no hope.

  • I congratulate you on your faith...

  • Omega threes are not the answer, it can help ease it though, also you could be suffering from a b vitamin deficiency , it has similarities to by bipolar, OR you might just be Bipolar. Bottom line.

  • I am deperatley trying to find out what is wrong with me. I have been diagnosed with conversion disorder but dont feel that this daignosis is correct. Ive been looking up on the computer alot to find out whats wrong with me. Can anybody help, I also suffer from anorexia and anxiety, but sometimes i feel as thoug i am going crazy, I speak in a language that i myself cant understand and shout and shake. My moods are forever changing. I feel lost and want this to end! x

  • This can be cured with omega 3 people are stupid.

  • you are stupid...Bipolar disorder cannot be cured....but there are pills that can cool down the mood swings..

  • You are stupid i took omega 3 fish oils and they cured me you extremely duckling stupid person.

  • How long have you been symptom free while on fish oil? I can go more than a year before I relapse, without meds. So how many years have you been symptom free? 5? 10? That would be impressive, but not a proven cure.

    It's a big mistake to not take medication. The years in which I tried the natural route were disasterous, and I wish I could have that time back.

  • I totally disagree, dont be pushing meds on people, if you can live without them then that should be celebrated

  • If you have bipolar disorder of schizophrenia you need meds, unless you want to destroy your life, and sometimes the lives of those around you.

    Telling a bipolar or schizophrenic that they can get by without meds is like telling a cancer patient to ignore the doctors and do diet and exercise instead.

  • OR* schizophrenia.

  • Comment removed

  • I saw a video you had favorited about how bipolar disorder isn't real.

    You aren't better than science. You aren't better than reality. You aren't better than clinical trials.

    You are arrogant, and you need to listen to the people taking the pills, and the people with the disorders, before you make radical statements that are extremely dangerous to make.

    Yes, bipolars and schizophrenics need to be medicated. I'm a medicated bipolar, and I'm not 'restrained.'

  • Comment removed

  • No, I wasted 4 years of my life pursuing alternative treatments, and developed relationships with people online trying similar treatments. It worked for none of us.

    I know a naturopath, I know the industry fairy well; I've seen a lot of the lies, it's a disgusting field which gives false hope.

    The naturopathic community literally makes fairy tail conditions, like intestinal candida. Some people have a 'beneficial' form of bipolar disorder, but it's quite rare. Some aren't very symptomatic

  • what are your ranting on about naturopaths? I'm not talking about dried flowers and crystal gazing, I'm talking about behaviour modification that comes with behavioural therapy, like learning to recognize triggers and how to cope with and manage symptoms. Your talking like your powerless & I'm trying to tell you that there are things you can do to help yourself besides poping pills, anyhow, I am not going to argue with you anymore as your not getting what Im saying & you are obviously not well.

  • Winstonlegheigh99 - I agree with you on other forms of help for bipolor illness and for any type of disorder for that matter. I think though that it depends on the severity of the problem which is different for everyone. My older brother has bipolor and takes pills for it but is still depressed. Pills are not a cure! Pills are never a sole cure! Your brain winds up for a reason. There are methods to teach patients how to cope with their anxieties by offering different routines they can try.

  • @Code9aa Medication will not work for everybody, but for some it is far better than the alternatives

  • @Omega3chimp

    Are you an idiot?

  • no omega 3 helps bipolar.

  • I m trying understand this disease.

    I know three friends that are like this.

    Kinda hard to deal with sometimes thou.
