Is Bipolar Disorder an Energy Disorder? Evidence and Novel Treatments

[@Crysta1986]

I always describe my struggle with bipolar as a mainly a struggle with ENERGY.......which affects my level of activity which affects my mood which affects my sleep which affects my energy which affects my activity which affects my mood which affects my sleep.....energy, activity, mood, sleep....energy activity mood sleep...the cycle continues....it is SOOO difficult to become stable and get your life together because one hiccup in any area affects everything else.

[@melodywilliams9124]

Describes me perfectly

[@charlychips]

Agreed.

[@ashleypollak9844]

Completely agree with you. This is an interesting topic - not a mood disorder... Interesting

I always say my bipolar disorder is physical more than anything else (I have Bipolar II). I go from multiple interests, energy, rapid speech, tons of activities, to feeling like I weigh 20,000 pounds, no brain activity, flat, no interests, slow thoughts, and it's the oscillation between the two that gets me so hopeless. Meanwhile, the rest of the world thinks bipolar disorder is BPD and people who act like jerks.

Thank you very much for the tremendous amount of work you have done. So exercise seems to be the biggest helper overall. Pretty discouraging for me though, as I do tons of exercise as a mountainrunner, ultrarunner, mountain biker, weight lifter, physiotherapist, I do literally 15-20 hours of both hard & light exercise per week. I push myself every single day to exercise, whether I feel like it or not.. Yet still my bipolar II is incrementally getting worse (been suffering from it since 10 years)...

[@Eserr7856]

I would also encourage mental and spiritual exercises such as meditation and prayer. I think they help with surrendering to the present moment and accepting it as it is peacefully and with hope that it will pass in this life or in the next. Take care

[@salimgandapur6707]

Profound prayers for your epic struggle! I am BP 2 for 65 years! Amazingly, I am actually less afflicted than at the outset! I took lithium for many years,tranquillisers, sedatives, and of course a gamut of antidepressants, starting with amitryptiline, quadricyclics, SSRIs! ! Let me go out on a limb and hazard a guess- perhaps slightly less vigour exercise temporarily might help. Every good wish! From Pakistan.

This video suggests light exercise is more effective for women. I hope things improve.

Is there access to this as a journal article?

[@farting_donkehy]

Which article are you referring to?

[@TheNOT4REAL]

Do you have a shorter, to the point, for ADD folks?

[@jfaithweiss]

good plug for exercise being the best medicene in medicene. A natural way to get the mitochondria and switches etc flipped on...and the danger of sedentary inactivity and obesity couch potatoes in which no switches are really being flipped on, why would they, there is no need for energy--

[@TheOptimistikChic]

Wondering if a person with 30+ years of Bipolar 1, as well as seizures changes your opinion? (meaning: would bipolar mania/energy, be affected by concurrent seizures?

[@tclem14]

what meds are you on

[@chillyinchile]

Maybe Mania are short circuits of energy in the brain , so do seizures

[@michaelpond813]

Yes. Neuroag. Omega threes and lithium oratate plus co q 10 for these. Great combo. A real godsend.

[@tabatasennadagracalopes5180]

Hi, i have a question. Mitochondria come only from the mother right? Cause the man passes only the genetic material... so if bipolar comes from trouble on the mitochondrials proteins, that means that we would heritage it only from the mither side, right????

[@chillyinchile]

I got it from my mother’s mother !

[@farting_donkehy]

Not necessarily, think “two hit hypothesis.” Mitochondria is a vulnerability

[@irenekittrell6087]

I think it is a sleep disorder.

[@freedomwarrior5087]

Anything that helps sleep in going to help. Many times they just give you more drugs for sleep and it impairs sleep cycles and the mitochondria even further. The never ending rat trap.

[@jnkdrgjhietoiuhdgruhiegr392]

i suspect its dopaminergic dysregulation. Possibly mediated via an endorphin related issue. Endorphin deficiency or something like that. Its essentially a natural version of meth abuse. dopamine jumps, dopamine peaks, dopamine crashes, or sometimes at the peak leads to psychotic episodes. it seems to me if they gave anti dopaminergic drugs during mania and pro dopaminergic drugs during depression there would be a better result than with the current treatment with ssris.

[@jnkdrgjhietoiuhdgruhiegr392]

however insomnia would be a core issue here. so im actually sort of agreeing with you,

[@taliaeategg2027]

@@jnkdrgjhietoiuhdgruhiegr392 yeah that sounds right. Things don't give me dopamine really in depression, and in mania everything gives me intense dopamine
