-Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood, but in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. The disorder has been subdivided into bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia, and other types, based on the nature and severity of mood episodes experienced; the range is often described as the bipolar spectrum.

-Schizophrenia a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with approximately 0.40.6% of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists.

  • you're realy gullible if you truely believe in that new age bull shit.

  • Anger and bad spelling is both ignorant and mentally ill in my book.What's that "mediation" your talking about,or did you mean meditation?You could use some of either.Diet and cannabis does not seem to work for you.Don't talk about stuff you know nothing about,there are huge differences between depression,schizophrenia or impulse control issues,which you have.

    ps. you don't sound in shape to me either.

  • @ManicSkates, amen on that they come one in the same mostly fat and stupid. let me run something by you though i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a child and i dont believe it was a true diagnoses they have no real way to help me understand what it is about me that makes me test positive for bipolar disorder they just said i had it and sent me to classes showing how to identify it within someone by underlining all the symptoms of a classic case.

  • @ManicSkates I agree, we need more acid and ganja for our psychosis, it would at least make things more interesting.
