Signs of Bipolar Disorder #shorts
– The way that bipolar
disorder can present can vary tremendously between individuals. One person might go from very high highs that
last seven days or more to very low lows, bouts of
depression, major depression that can last two weeks or more. Other people are rapid
cycling by way of, you know, three days manic, three days
normal, three days manic, and then dropping into
three days depression. So you want to erase
that picture in your mind that manic bipolar
disorder is this sine wave, this cycling up and down
between mania and depression. It can take a lot of different forms. This is a serious challenge for the psychiatrist to diagnose
people because of that fact that they’re only getting
a snapshot of the person, unless they’ve known them for some time and working with them for some time. But this is also especially
important for those of you that either have bipolar depression or suspect that you might, or that know someone
with bipolar depression or suspect somebody might
have bipolar depression, AKA bipolar disorder.
Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses possible signs of bipolar disorder.

My spouse has Bipolar 2 & Scitzoeffective Disorder but absolutely refuses therapy or psychiatry of any kind, went off all meds 8 years ago, says she doesn't have the problem but it's everyone else with the problem, our kids are grown & won't speak to her, and she thinks that I alone as her husband should be able to fix her & that's why she doesn't need therapy of any sort, we've been married for 25 years. Any one have any ideas of what I should/could do?
I don’t know from hour to hour what mood I am going to be. The slightest thing can bring me up or down. It is quite unnerving.
My manic episode lasted 3 months
I have a close friend who i suspect is bipolar. When i visit him, he's happy, and then he goes cold and dissappears. He told me that he battles w/ depression and suspects that he has a mental illness and suicide tendencies. I wish i could help him, but his attitude drains me.
I’ve read that autism can be misdiagnosed as bipolar
😂Hi
Jesus Christ heals and restores
how to direct loved ones with clear symptoms – and poor insight.😢
Thank you for your sharing on nicotine & bi-polar.
And it makes it even more complicated when it’s unspecified
It’s so variable from person to person and can be so easily confused with so many other external factors or dietary changes , grief, repressed anger , etc etc etc it’s amazing we even still use the term “bipolar disorder” – at some point aren’t we pathologizing the human condition?
I am bipolar since I was a kid my psychologist told me 😢 and I had only one psychologist for 2 hours because it started when I was a kid going to a cemetery as a kid 😢😢
Yes so true
I’ve been married to my spouse for over 35 years. About 20 years ago, I started noticing changes that I couldn’t quite understand at the time. It wasn’t until many years later that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After his retirement, his symptoms became much stronger and harder to manage.
Living with the constant ups and downs has been very exhausting for me. I feel every kind of emotion you can imagine while trying to keep up with his cycles. I care deeply for him and feel compassion for what he goes through, but the truth is that bipolar disorder affects everyone in the home, not just the person who has it.
Our children experienced some of this when they were younger, though at the time none of us knew what was really happening. Now they are grown and living their own lives, while I remain the one who has to cope with the daily challenges. This has become my reality, and while I do my best, it often feels overwhelming and very lonely.
I don’t speak about this with many people because when I do, the advice
I receive often does not apply to my circumstances or is not something I can realistically follow. For this reason, I tend to keep this to myself.
I hate it.
A good friend of mine had 2000 in his life six months depression and then four months manic. It’s interesting that I hear now that people only have it for a few weeks.
I live with someone like this and it’s hell when he is depressed but when he isn’t it’s the guy I met and feel in love with
I have rapid cycling bipolar disorder 1 with mixed episodes. It's super bad. I'm almost 50 and gerking manic episode, I decided to become an electrical engineer. I'm still in school 2 years later, lol. At my lowest, it's self-deletion rumination. Mixed episodes is being super depressed, and also have manic energy and the energy to do something about it.
Hot take. Thisncrap is a symptom, not a root cause
What if it's every other day?
Bipolar 2 here..the highs are usually drug induced but not always. The lows can become intensely low. I can also go through periods of feeling "normal"..it's like a box of chocolates, never know what your gonna find
Is it normal when you get into a sad (depressed) state for a day or 2 then out of no where my brain will "correct" itself by immediately jump into a pure state of euphoria and happiness and i start laughing about how happy i am? Its weird, when it happens it feels like fluid is being dumped into my brain like i can feel a very warm sensation. For years Ive thought it was normal brain function of it repairing itself, like it says "i dont want to feel this way anymore, release happy juice. Sadness starts just out of no where as well, feels draining. I hope this is just normal brain function of dopamine fluctuations
Bipolar disorder is just a label so they can give you pharmaceuticals! To make anyone who tries to stand up for God, look crazy or take away their personality with medicine. In psychology, if you use the word god, they pull out a different form. When you are diagnosed bipolar, you literally fill out a questionnaire. So god forbid, you say the wrong thing. The mental institution taught me to be a liar, so they'll stop medicating me. Someone who's passionate is going to show these traits.
A dialectol behavior therapy book would benefit everyone. Every single mental disorder that is labeled on people can be healed. You just have to put in the work and it hurts like hell.
I blame industrialization on the epidemic of mental health disorders. Human beings are naturally not designed to live the way we live today. Human beings are supposed to live in small communities of around 150 people surrounded by their entire extended families. Although I didn’t agree with the way he got his message out there I think the Uni-bomber Ted Kazyncski was very wise and ahead of his time the way that he called out industrialization and technology.
