According to Dr. Tracey Marks, "mental health does not have to be a mystery." This is especially true for bipolar disorder. The bipolar spectrum is widely misunderstood. Bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed as depression; some studies indicate that nearly 70 percent of those with bipolar disorder are initially misdiagnosed.
Dr. Tracey Marks discusses the the truth behind bipolar spectrum disorders. In this interview you'll learn...

I was diagnosed Manic Depressive Type 2 almost 30 years ago (I agree with Dr. Marks that bipolar is a less accurate descriptor). I don't think it's a disorder at all - it's more easily understood to me as the sensitive/creative personality type most often associated with artists and spiritual types (science proves we're more creative on average). I'm living proof that after decades of suicidal ideation, healing is possible. With proper supports, personal accountability and mindfulness, Manic Depressives have lives which are arguably richer and more meaningful than a lot of people who fall into the neurotypical category. Now that I've focused on having healthy relationships and creating boundaries against the people who stigmatize mental illness (usually narcissistic types) and abuse our need to "fit in" by exploiting our people-pleasing, my life is wonderful and my unique creative skills have been properly channeled into my purpose and I've carved my own niche instead of struggling to fit in with our toxic culture. I don't miss the superficial people who made me feel like I was the problem because now I can see how empty their lives are and how threatened they were by authenticity and honesty.

Dang. Appreciate this framing. I’ve recently started rebuilding my relationship to work in a way that makes sense to me and not others preferences. People-pleasing can be tricky, and it takes some real effort to try and strike a balance leading with yourself in mind. But it definitely promotes a better and more sustained relationship with one’s true self. Which can often become an afterthought leading to some rough spots.

Having been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in my early teenage years, I can say you CAN go on to live a peaceful life without having to be medicated in your later years. I also believe it depends on how high on the spectrum your bipolar is as I have a cousin who still struggles in adulthood. What helped me was meditation, music, and self awareness, taking responsibility for your own actions and thoughts, never judging others, accepting myself for who and what I am and living by the motto that everything happens for a reason and everyone is here for a reason and the most important thing was to learn to just let shit go. We are ALL given this life because "WE" wanted to come to this Earth 🌎 and learn the lessons we are learning. I believe people with bipolar are just souls who have lived hard lives previous and now have forgotten who they were and why they are here now. We are ALL precious beings that have a purpose. Don't let the diagnosis of this "disorder" or the negativity that comes with living with this in this life make you think that your life is of any less importance. Look at it as a gift where.... you are strong fierce and protective when you need to be and sensitive enough for the times when people need to feel love or need a guiding light. It's YOUR life, take control of it. Much love to ALL that needed to hear this and remember their worth❤️ We are ALL ONE, and I hope this helps another soul searching for peace ✌️❤️😁

Physicians, particularly psychiatrists, have rigidity not to override another psychiatrist's diagnosis. The significance of the advice I'm conferring is misdiagnoses in Psychiatry is pervasively rampant. Entailing many times too many, are arbitrary. The dire detriment of misdiagnoses is the prescribed medications will BE THE WRONG MEDICATIONS POSSIBLY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I remember after I got diagnosed looking through library books on the subject and they were so annoying, full of generalisations and the kind of information that had allowed me to have the condition for more than a decade without really believing it. Like implying depression comes as some kind of crash after the manic high. With me I know the illness is coming but can't tell what direction it's going because at first it just feels like a bad mood! I tend to go down first and then up. And they hardly mentioned psychosis. The first sign of my mania was hearing voices! I met quite a few people who said they heard voices, saw strange things, smelled strange things etc when manic and depressed but the books made this sound like a rare complication and gave it about one paragraph each! Then they go on saying bipolar isn't just the ups and downs of life, but that's not how it felt to me from the inside. Except when it got really extreme, it felt exactly like big ups and downs and no way can you separate it from your life!

The term bipolar is good in that it has raised public awareness of what the condition really is. In Britain the term "bipolar" didn't really pick up among the general public until after the year 2000. Before then the public view of a "manic depressive" was someone who was prone to extremely serious depression and manic depression was seen as severe depression. Having said that I think bipolar is misleading in that people think of it as two faces of one person, one happy, one sad and it's not that way. Mania and depression aren't two separate extremes, they intermingle a great deal!!

Kinda, not really. Manic Depression included Depression along with Depression and Mania. So I see where the misconceptions come from, but still it combines what we call bipolar and depression into one illness spectrum. Which is actually more accurate given 60%+ of depression patients actually experience mixed states really similar to bipolar and should be classified as another type of bipolar. Rebranding to bipolar spectrum or going back to manic depression would look like from pure depression to pure mania: Major Depression, Euthymia (chorionic mild depression,) Cyclothymia (mild depression to hypomania,) Mixed Depression (depression with mixed episodes,) Bipolar 2, Bipolar 1, Hyperthymia (chronic mania.)

Sorry, a few things stand out in your comment. You have the word gay in your name.. Your wife thought you would leave her.. She lost it and had affairs? Are you sure you are not a narcissist my friend? My ex was one and could have said this easily. And maybe your wife is suffering from narc abuse? Narcs are always saying something is wrong with the other person. Make you doubt your reality and so on.. I'm saying this because to me it sounds very unlikely that she would go and have multiple affairs, because she thinks you are going to leave.. Being very empathic as a bpd I just cant see this happening. My friend is bipolar and when she loses it, she just wants to hurt herself, but never others. And ADHD in my humble opinion is not a real disorder.. I hope I'm wrong with my analysis. Wish you and your wife all the best

Ok, I need to weigh in on this topic. At 57 yrs. old I STARTED experiencing depression at 6yr. old. Meaning, everything was going great in my life but I was extremely sad. This sadness would last for a month & then it would lift. ( classic sign of a chemical imbalance ). I also suffered with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at 10 yrs. old. By the grace of God, he set me free from this disorder. I also suffered with Anxiety & Panic attack as approach my 20's. When my grandmother died, I was 21 yrs. old & couldn't cope. Sought help & I was diagnosed with manic depression. Here is what ppl. need to know as far what the 2 main triggers that will put you into an episode of depression & the medical community has backed up what I have been saying for 35 yrs. in regards to triggers. The 2 biggest things that will trigger depression are LACK OF SLEEP & LACK OF FOOD!! Saw this pattern with me & when I recognized & connected the dots as far as these 2 triggers, I was able to stay ahead of it by getting enough sleep & eating. As far as the racing thoughts & repetitive thoughts, I had to teach myself to kick out any negative thought to avoid that repetitive thinking. As far as medications, the former Psychiatrists have stated that once you start an anti depressant & have been on it for a year, if you go off of it, your brain can no LONGER make the proper serotonin & you will guarantee crash & I can attest to this as I have gone off my meds & after a year, I crash & burn & I did this quite a few times in my 20's due to the weight gain. When I say weight gain, I am talking about the anti depressants increase your appetite & you eat more which leads to weight gain. Best way to avoid depression is straight up running!! It is a known fact that long distance running raises your serotonin levels. Been running since I was 22 yrs. old. Running is also an excellent stress reliever as well!! Ppl. who suffer with bipolar can spot other ppl. with bipolar faster than a Psychiatrists because we see the same behaviors in them that we saw in our selves!! Case in point, I recognized my Nephew with bipolar at age of 7 yrs. old & he later was diagnosed with bipolar. My own daughter, I was able to pick up on her bi polar at around 6 yrs. old & she was later diagnosed with bipolar when she was 7 yrs. old. When you are going through an episode of bipolar, it is NOT just mental, it's physical as well!! Your body is on Fight or Flight mode. Once you get through your episode, you feel like a MACK truck has hit you & your body is physically run down & NOW, your body needs to physical heal & that can TAKE months 2 FINALLY feal NORMAL!! Plz. EDUCATE yourselves with bipolar & most definitely EDUCATE yourself on the medications you take because the side effects can most definitely due more harm than good. I absolutely do NOT recommend any of the Newer drugs because we don't know the long term side effects!! My case in point is the drug, abilify. My Daughter's Psychiatrist wanted to put my daughter on abilify when it first came out & I told him " absolutely not because we Don't KNOW the long term side effects". 2 yrs. later, abilify side effect was LINKED to compulsive disorder!! I hope this information will help anyone out there who is still trying to understand bipolar. God Bless.

Now a days people with bipolar disorder don’t take certain antidepressants because it can trigger mania. I have unipolar depression with a family history of bipolar disorder and I can’t take SSRI antidepressants because I react in a similar manner. I find just going on walks, practicing mindfulness, taking birth control and preventing chronic stress helps a lot. Therapy is also great for learning how to cope with negative thoughts and also anxiety that comes from it.I also have ADHD as well and I do take stimulant medication which is key in helping out with stress.

I love this topic I love this conversation and the doctor you're having it with. In 2008 I was diagnosed with manic depression, bipolar schizophrenia with delusions and PTSD. My career was a field Archaeologist and Anthropologist and I lived through some very tragic death in my life. When my support team of husband and mother died nearly a month apart from each other I went into a tailspin. I had to shorten my education, discontinue my Archaeological Field work and admit that I could not cope with the loss of these dear loved ones. I ruined my career and ran on a reservation as though I had been there my whole life. As a fair white lady I was definitely having some issues and fought quite a bit in those early days. I lost control of everything and I still had three teenage kids to raise. Long story short I went into rehab where I spent 4 years in transitional housing and sobriety meetings. This time spent on the 90 day 90 meeting program was rehab taught me a great deal on how to create a mental toolbox to help me when I felt a relapse coming. I guess I forgot to mention I started heavy drug use and alcoholism. I got a great job made amends with my children and managed to move to the small town of my dreams I am in now. One thing I believe helped a great deal was looking into volunteering and I mean volunteering for anything that resonated with my sleepless manic routines, extreme codependency issues, and the reckless need for avengers. Because of my education in the earth sciences I was able to find wonderful diverse places to be and to help. The whole time I have been on medicine but as of 2 years ago my stomach and liver are starting to give in and I had to quit all but two of my medications. I quit 10 medications and used the anxiety and mania towards helping myself and others get ahead and whatever creative way I can think of. Now I am old and feeling ill but I am proud to say that even with all my mental and physical injuries I still enjoy life to the fullest and cannot ever find it again in my heart to hold the grudge and negative self talk like I grew up doing as my mother before me did. And yes I was raised by an extreme narcissistic father and a very doting but somewhat neglectful mother. I was the eldest of four and at the age of 11(I am 63 now) I began watching my siblings trying to teach them the ways of the outdoors, the streets and the people in them. I just love your program and watch quite a few of your videos thank you for being out there and teaching us the things that we may have never had the opportunity to learn about. And oh yes I have a question is there a way to determine an episode starting to happen because of something that triggered you and you knew it was coming?

Love that she makes reference to basically the subspecialty of Lifestyle Medicine. I'm seeing more studies coming out (I think Barnard at PCRM has some crossover interventional trials now) specifically looking at diet and mental or brain health (Ornish is running a large-scale new study with Alzheimer's). There is so much newer, kinda revolutionary stuff we've been learning about the microbiome as well as the role of a whole food, plant-based dietary pattern (meaning exclusive or nearly totally exclusive of all animal products, as well as avoidance of more highly refined plant ingredients or products) in respect to lowering inflammatory markers - in addition to sleep, exercise, social support and avoidance of toxic stress and chemicals, the dietary pillar of lifestyle medicine appears as linked to mental health and brain function as all the others. Not saying lifestyle intervention fix serious mental illness, but on the other hand, it reliably dramatically improves and even reverses some of our main chronic illnesses, so why not at least optimize that area in support of mental health, too? The Drs. Sherzai who have just written a new Alzheimer's book could be great to have on to talk about some of this, one day.

I just nap and take magnesium, omega 3 and St. Johns Wart as needed until symptoms level out.

Anyone have symptoms related to SSRI-induced bipolar? (Some where on the bipolar spectrum) Very mild hypomania but, more agitation. I still don't have a diagnosis of bipolar, just have the issues with what I just mentioned. It's tough to explain to my doctor exactly how I feel with it. The problem is that its not 100% obvious of what's going on, for a fast diagnosis. It's frustrating. Throw the Treatment resistant depression / Quiet BPD and I don't even know what to think about it anymore. I just want it to stop. Besides that, Just want to talk to someone that can relate to this big mess of symptoms.

My goodness this aired 2 days before i had the meltdown of all meltdowns that subsequently got me into the psychiatrists office who, given i was depressed and suicidal and has zero clue what bipolar mania was, then diagnosed me with clinical depression and placed me on sertraline and quetiapine. I did cbt for 6 months appreciating all the help and support i had recieved from the already stretched mental health system in my country. Yet for some reason i still wasnt feeling right. Four months later i began feeling sad before it would suddenly disappear. A few weeks later i find the perfect black coat online i had been looking for for years and bought it. Fast forward another 3 months and i cleaned out my bank account plus my savings and a $1000 dollar overdraft that for over six months i had so diligently avoided chipping into. It took a little more time for me to understand that what i had done was a problem. It wasnt until i started feeling my annual urge to give myself an awesome diy haircut only this time around (and for the first time ever), i put the clippers to my head. Never in my life had i ever imagined i would voluntarily run a buzzing clipper through my hair for a pixie cut.

@@Emma-dh1lx I strongly suspect that BP1 and BP2 are not the same illness, they just get grouped together because they have a similar set of symptoms. Seroquel increased my anxiety to the point of panic attacks, same thing for my father. Abilify is another new antipsychotic and had the same effect. I have not tried it, but for my dad, it practically flatlined him: flat affect, sleeping all the time, no energy. They reduced the dose to the point where he was taking a homeopathic dose, a quarter of the smallest dose every other day. He was already into dementia by that point, so I took him and my mother to his psychiatrist and told him what I was on, convinced him to switch my dad to Gabapentin from Abilify and his energy and interest came back so well it was almost like his dementia went into remission for a while. Gabapentin is NOT recommended for BP1. In fact, they decided to take away its approval for use in bipolar at all, but that was based on research that was conducted exclusively on BP1s.

@@lynnemacvean9665 The fact of the matter is, they are the same condition. Just opposite sides of the spectrum! Where is a Bp1 suffers extreme mania, a Bp2 suffers from extreme depression. My wife's depression is very minimal, but her highs? Are extreme to the point where she is capable of not only self harm but, inflicting harm towards others without thinking things through. Where there's a low, there's someone on the opposite side of the same illness. I've witnessed my wife be committed, hardly a spec of the person I met 15 years ago. As I sit her at the table.. shes going through depression! Something she rarely does. Her whole life the past 8 years have been pure mania! These meds are killing the mania and making her step out of her chaotic self. I won't disclosure the rollercoaster she put our family through, but this is for the best. We have 4 children and I've been the one supporting the kids, my wife, and holding down a full-time job all the while, cooking, cleaning, and paying the bills. My job is endless, but it's worth it if I can save my wife, our life, and our family. But, with that being said, I do regret that these meds are making her flat. It's a double edged sword, if not on the meds? She's capable of SO much damage! It's either she walks out on not only me, but our children as well. It's either a street life of crystal meth, alcohol, and all kinds of other drugs, missing birthdays, holidays and almost losing her life. Or she's here flat and sober. Keeping her on bp meds I'm keeping her from living her life. But without it? I'm saving her life and our children's mother. She's already had a stroke from the heavy drugs she did on the streets. Even that didn't change her perspective on life.

@@Lidia-qf1uv hi there! I wish I had a one step 🪜 solution to offer you. My journey has been a rocky one...but I know that my mom was praying to God 🙏 for me to get off of medications because she saw me changing and not for the better. I was still clinging to my medicine but she didn't stop praying for me. I soon realized the side effects the medicine was having and I had to get off. I've found relief in staying away from caffeine as much as possible, getting good sleep rythms helps and a good diet and excercise plan will help bring further balance (being healthy with the basics is what I learned in the Intensive Outpatient Program- seems simple right?) But even with it being simple sometimes we don't practice it. So keeping the right nutrients in your body and the bad ones out as much as possible helps sleep really can throw me into a depressive mode or manic mode at times. Taking nature trips, staying at the cabin in Idyllwild going, camping etc. (I love being outdoors your daughter might enjoy other activities she can get involved in), Being around loving and friendly people definitely helps too - my favorite are my friends with special needs they are the sweetest people in my life. There's so many ways to try to maintain healthy. With lots of love and prayer nothing is impossible. Feel free to email me bluebirddd1@gmail.com I'd love to stay in touch!

I get that you need to advertise, but it really breaks the flow of the talk to throw it in every 5 minutes. Do it all in the beginning, or all at the end, we don't need to be reminded every 5-10 minutes about this or that thing on your KZfaq channel, it really makes it hard to watch. Anyway, thanks for interviewing Dr. Marks, she is very knowledgeable.

I remember taking trazadone for my insomnia and depression. after a while of taking it, I’d take a pill and immediately be completely wired.

Are you in the US? In the state where I live, through the community mental health center, there's a new program called FEP (first episode psychosis) that help patients and families like yours.

@@patriciatoney240 Please see if one on this list shows up for your state. I know of two more in my state but it only lists one. Your best bet would be to call each of your closest community mental health centers, not the private ones, who treat youth and ask if they have a first episode psychosis program or something similar. Best wishes to you! www.samhsa.gov/esmi-treatment-locator

I dated a psychiatrist and he was batshit crazy, especially with substances (addict) and highly narcissistic, that has forever changed my opinion about doctors.

As far as ovulation and menstruation: I know two women who experience menstrual psychosis!! They go into psychosis right before the shedding phase (maybe as a result of ovulation?) and will be bleeding everywhere, be completely unaware of their period, have lost touch with reality, unable to sleep, sometimes end up walking or driving to places they've never been for no reason, etc. A monophasic birth control helped one to lessen this significantly, the other nothing except consistent antipsychotics helps. 😢 In history, I wonder if this type of disorder is what "hysteria" and hysterectomies helped?
