Ms Lowe is an excellent spokesperson for such a complex topic. Her own experience with bi-polar disorder combined with her intelligence makes her both credible and interesting.I also listened to her This American LIfe podcast where she discusses her sexual assault as a 13-year old by a stranger with a knife in an alley while walking to the school bus. I am eager to read her book and hope her future as a writer or journalist continues to be successful.

Do you have a friend who lives with bipolar disorder? Hidden within your friends exists a few of us who struggle each day with the illness. We live behind smiles and frowns, our minds flooded with ideas, thoughts and emotions. Many of us persevere despite the nature of bipolar disorder. Brilliant, successful and beautiful people hiding their difficulties because of social stigma. I want to break the stigma of mental illness. I'm tired of pretending to be like most. I'm very different from you. I cry more than you. I laugh more than you. I have to take antipsychotics and mood stabilizers to remain sane. There are days and months of pure bliss and happiness then times of great despair and fear. Coping is mandatory for successful people with bipolar. Overcoming stigma remains the most challenging task. Let's work together to break the stigma of mental illness. My best regards to you and have a positive New Year! Regards, Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson yes Chris, everything you said. I just reinstated Pristiq and Lithium. 450 in morning/lunch and 8:00 pm 450 Lithium. I am finally coming to terms with the medicine and it’s ok. I want to live normally with normal laughing, normal anger, normal sadness. But not horrible depression. I need to take of care of my children and wan to thrive in life and work on my life and work on my marriage. Medicine helps me. Thank you for your comments.

I am a psychiatrist and also a psychoanalyst. Bipolar disorder is a condition that is primarily treated with medication and pharmacotherapy. While medication is essential in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder, talk therapy is so important and supportive in helping patients cope with their symptoms and the aftermath of their illness. In training as a psychodynamic psychiatrist we learn to use the combination of therapy and medicine... Bipolar disorder is an illness and it is a shame that the stigma persists...
@jwalkin51236 жыл бұрын
BareknuckleBill , no, drug therapy is the pseudo science. There is a difference between mind and body. Mind needs mind therapy, body needs body therapy. Drugs are only good for body, not mind. And I'm 100% sure you've never even read any books about psychoanalysis (stop lying, you haven't), you just repeat after the rumors others told you, most probably what your father told you about it, shallow hateful stupid uneducated negative judgements. In order to understand psychoanalysis first you should stop being shallow and quick to judgement, and then be more honest to yourself and think a little harder and deeper. Freud and Nietzsche ate the FUTURE, after all you shallow haters die.

Beyond Cosmic Nobody is denying the phenomenological difference between body and mind. That doesn't mean mind-body dualism is correct. Mental processes clearly arise from physiological brain-processes. It's undeniably true that certain substances have a severe effect on human consciousness. Some substances have the ability to ease or eliminate the symptoms of mental illnesses and certain forms of conversational or behavioral therapies have similar effects. In most cases, a mix of both is the most promising way to recovery.

This is not manic depression. What she describes is personality disorder and/ or schizophrenia. Mania is not hallucinating or talking to dead people. Life long manic person and it’s what happens when physiological hormones meets brain neurotransmitters. It is severe exhaustion and severe energy spikes. Any voices, and crazy out there episodes are definitely not bipolar. That’s schizophrenia. You can tell this woman has a personality complex. This isn’t bipolar.

Not necessarily true. As someone who used to work in Psychiatry and has a long term partner with Bipolar I, psychotic symptoms can definitely be part of the illness particularly the manic phase. It is not just a mood disorder, although it is for some
