Thank you so much 🙂

It is 70%, see 0:51

Good day @baruchben-david4196 Thank you for your comment. I see where the confusion might have come from. The statistic I mentioned is actually 70%, not 700%. This means that there is a 70% chance that individuals with bipolar I disorder will experience psychosis during a manic episode. For accurate information, you can refer to the study by Morrison, which discusses the prevalence of psychotic features in bipolar disorder. I appreciate your attention to detail and will clarify this to avoid confusion. Thanks for helping ensure the information shared is accurate! Reference: Morrison, A. P., Pettigrew, J., & Jones, S. H. (2008). Psychotic symptoms and their relationship with mood in bipolar disorder. Journal of Affective Disorders, 106(1-2), 169-174. Regards

I just want mine to end too, but I don’t want to leave my kids behind.

I understand how you feel as a person who also is bipolar

Exactly. I’ve never been violent towards anyone

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your concerns and understand that the topic of bipolar disorder is sensitive and important. My aim is to shed light on aspects of the disorder that are often less discussed but crucial for understanding and managing it effectively. The information shared is based on various reputable sources, including research and expert opinions, such as the work of Goodwin and Jamison (2007) on psychosis in bipolar disorder, and studies on cognitive impairment and aggression in bipolar disorder by experts like Berk et al. (2009) and Swann & Daughton (2012). These references were chosen to provide a comprehensive view of the challenges faced by individuals with bipolar disorder. It’s also important to recognize that bipolar disorder is a spectrum disorder, meaning that symptoms can vary widely among individuals. Not everyone will experience all of the symptoms mentioned, and the severity and nature of these symptoms can differ significantly. My intention is to provide a broad overview while acknowledging that each person’s experience with bipolar disorder is unique. If you have any specific concerns or believe there might be additional perspectives that should be included, I’d be glad to hear them and ensure that the content is as balanced and informative as possible. My goal is to contribute to a more informed and empathetic discussion about bipolar disorder, not to cause alarm or distress. Thank you again for your input, and I hope we can continue to support and educate each other on this important topic.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you found the video helpful. If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask. Your feedback means a lot!

Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry that you see this as wrong and I respect that. The experience of bipolar is uniquely personal. No two people have exactly the same experience. This video is based on my personal experience and the sources mentioned in the description of this video.

Since I have bipolar 1 myself, I am aware of the difficulties. I hope it was helpful and appreciate you watching. Thank you.

I struggle to find okay meds

I hope it was helpful and appreciate you watching. Thank you.

Amen, amen 🙏

I have believed in God yet he has not healed me of mood swings

I appreciate you stopping by my channel and leaving a comment. I understand the stigma associated with bipolar disorder because I myself live with it. I believe that every one of us with bipolar wishes that it could be cured. Remind yourself that you are not alone and take good care of yourself.

Look into ketamine therapy

Thanks for your reply. There will soon be a video or two about relationships and bipolar.
