  • I was diagnosed with bipolar type I four years ago and I've found Stephen Fry's insight and eloquence on the subject to be of great comfort. The weather analogy is so bang on key, a truly remarkable man

  • my mom has this dissorder, since i was young i was moving from fosterhome another foster home, it's a very serious illness, cause the times when she was manic she drink a lot alcochol, and used a lot of drugs. she also had a lot of stupid ideas, and when she's depressed, it was REALLY serious. it's one of the worst psychical illnesses u can have, cause you're not yourself, your hurting people and i know my mom doesn't wants to hurt me, but she isn't herself. she can't help it..

  • 5:30 Wow, hearing Stephen Fry put on a (damn good) American accent is jarring and awesome at the same time.

  • @humaner I think it can to some extent. Exercise helps as well, I've heard.

  • Cannot meditation help?

  • @insidegame33 There's no helping people such as yourself. You have no idea what you are talking about

  • @210482fmj You are an idiot

  • It's no surprise that Stephen explains this more eloquently than anyone else. He is an inspiration to everyone with the condition and i'm grateful he is honest enough to share his experiences with us.

  • @cincofone Show me the case studies that suggest placebo's work "almost exactly the same rate of efficacy (for anti-depressants that is".

  • ud think people with money wud be far more happier than a poor or middle class !! damn u bipolar !!!

  • @amy3971 Sure sometimes the drugs can work. But so do sugar pills, and at almost exactly the same rate of efficacy (for anti-depressants that is). Sugar pills however do not have the enourmous list of dangerous side effects

  • @cincofone I kind of agree with you. They work for some people though, you would soon know if it was having an adverse effect. My boyfriend (who is bipolar) had an uncle who also suffered and took the drugs and killed himself because the drugs messed with him. They are something to be wary of, they are not a quick fix by any means.
