Living fully with bipolar disorder | Nacho Ruiz Hens | TEDxTAMU

Nacho discusses his journey with bipolar disorder- from being diagnosed with BPD to how he lives with it now. Through his talk, he inspires others with BPD to live their lives to the fullest. Following a 15-year career as a renewable energy investor with more than $2Bn invested across 2GW in the Americas, Nacho decided to reinvent himself as an author, a coach and an entrepreneur. In 2020 Nacho was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and suffered significant disruptions in his life. He started writing about bipolar to raise social awareness and help people who were struggling to find balance and a deeper purpose. He founded Ignite Elevate, a high performance coaching practice that includes the Powerful Bipolars program. As a non-for-profit entrepreneur, he created Brilliant Bipolars to provide financial and career transitioning support for bipolar people who are in between jobs. As a tech entrepreneur, he is developing the Open Upp mobile app: an anonymous social network that is meant to be a safe space for people to open up and get specific help. He believes the way forward to deal with bipolar calls for radical transparency and that this will save lives. Lives that can then make an impact and change the world! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

When he said that bipolar disorder doesn’t define who you are, it made me think about how I’ve let my own anxiety control my life. It’s a good reminder that we’re more than our mental health struggles.

[@iamtherealdeal]

Seeing how he turned his life around after hitting rock bottom is really inspiring. It reminds me that even in my worst moments, there’s always hope for change and growth

[@Techodeflash]

The stat about 15% of people with bipolar committing suicide is so sad. It really shows how serious this illness is, and how important it is to support people who are struggling before it’s too late.

[@BeenFoundTwice]

I've been on and off medication for depression and always felt kind of ashamed about it. Hearing him talk so openly about his treatment made me feel less alone, like it’s okay to do what you need to feel better.

[@TenderWolfAdvertising]

My brother struggles with depression, and sometimes it feels like we’re all carrying the weight of it. This talk reminded me to be more supportive and patient with him, thank you.

[@KatieKimball]

Preach it: "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Everyone needs to hear this!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Katie!! Without your help and expertise I would not have been able to deliver this talk!!

[@evanesterneg]

It takes courage to share such personal struggles. To everyone else sharing in the comments, remember you're not alone, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength ❤

[@johnjjgravely]

When he talked about that therapist who believed in him when he was at rock bottom, that hit me hard. It reminds me of my high school counselor who saw potential in me when I was failing everything. Sometimes you don't realize how much those small moments of faith can change your life.

[@carolmiller1622]

Thank you for this talk. It was courageous and needed and wise. I am bi polar and have been diagnosed sine 17 and am now 72and have lerned so much from this illness I believe in God and have seen his wofk in my life through bi polar Carol New Zealand

[@WormholeHaven]

man, when he talked about that year he spent just staring at the ceiling, I felt that in my soul. I've been through some rough patches myself and that feeling of being completely stuck is so real. Makes me appreciate how far I've come...

[@EduardoRuizF]

Eres admirable, hijo. Cuando niño y joven, nunca podíamos pensar que ibas a atravesar este desierto. Eras brillante como estudiante, buen hijo y buena persona, a la par que original y simpático. Ningún problema. Cuando a los 39 años te diagnosticaron la enfermedad, no podíamos creerlo. Nos quedamos bloqueados, mudos, perplejos ¡Trastorno bipolar! ¿Cómo era posible? Jamás habíamos oído que nadie de la familia materna o paterna hubiera pasado por esto, aunque al parecer en un 75% de los casos tiene causa genética. También indicaron que el estrés era un detonante. Ciertamente tu profesión era estresante. Han pasado 4 años desde tu primer brote y hospitalización y casi tres años desde el segundo. En este tiempo has tenido que superar un largo proceso de recuperación, la tramitación de un divorcio amistoso, el aislamiento social y el parón -transitorio, sin duda- en tu brillante carrera profesional ¡Y nosotros, tu familia originaria, tan lejos físicamente!. Con todas estas dificultades, has sabido reconocer la enfermedad, afrontarla, y buscar la motivación para salir adelante, como no podíamos ni imaginarnos. Enhorabuena porque estás en el camino de vuelta a los logros personales que a lo largo de tu vida te han acompañado. Las muestras de cariño, admiración y respeto que vemos en estos comentarios así lo demuestran.

[@maisahens2520]

No puedo estás más de acuerdo con todas y cada una de tus palabras!!! Te quiero, amor!!! Queridísimo Edu Tú el padre, y yo la madre! 🩵🩵

[@Nevernow721]

Good luck finding supportive people. Very few are unless you can find a good therapist and meetings about bipolar and depression. I've been diagnosed for 35 years.

[@NANCY-um2uf]

Nacho this is very touching message and full of hope for my son , who has this condition Bipolar I, for more than a decade and he is not helping himself , he see me as his enemy , I am believer of God and I know He is protecting him and my son needs to his part, accepts his condition and allow professionals to help him. Love your courage and faith , God bless you. Will share with my son.

[@victorhens]

Querido Nacho, eres un tío grande, sí señor. Me ha encantado tu charla, tu valentía y tu franqueza. Servirá para mucho, para muchos. Cuídate y déjate ver.

[@maisahens2520]

Estoy tremendamente emocionada leyendo todos los comentarios!!! Hijo maravilloso!!! regalo del cielo🩵

[@nachoruizhens]

❤❤❤

[@carmenruizluque6841]

Gran historia de superación y una esperanza para todas las personas que sufren esta enfermedad. Enhorabuena por tu valentía.

[@mariaandreasilva3835]

Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Es vital visibilizar la necesidad de hablar de estos temas, airearlos en lugar de meterlos bajo el tapete. Gracias por tu valentía y muchas felicidades por lo bien que cuentas tu historia

[@alexapsicologa]

Gracias Nacho por tu autenticidad, el mundo necesita saber que las enfermedades mentales no son un estigma, debemos ser sensibles a este tema porque todos somos tan vulnerables a pasar por cualquier tipo de enfermedad mental. Sin embargo hay esperanza y sanidad si tenemos fe y hacemos lo que nos corresponde.

[@nachoruizhens]

Muchas gracias, Alexa, ¡por estar en mi equipo! ❤

[@leyendoconestrella]

Tengo que reconocer que con el tiempo te has convertido en un verdadero Superman, que no necesita una capa para volar muy alto. Una gran charla, llena de aprendizaje y motivación! Enhorabuena por todo tu esfuerzo

[@nachoruizhens]

Hola Estrella!!! Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras. Me has sacado una sonrisa. 😊

[@closeconnections8280]

It's so nice to hear stories about someone who has overcome the more adverse side of bipolar. It gives me hope for someone I know who was recently diagnosed and I think is struggling a little to come to terms with that as part of their identity

[@nachoruizhens]

There is hope. Just be there for that person! ❤

[@ahoratellamo]

Nacho esto es valentía con mayúsculas. Eres un superman, pero ya lo eras desde hace mucho tiempo.

[@marcelafritzler8994]

Nacho, me emocionaste! Bravo, sé tu mismo y continua batallando por tu persona, tu felicidad. Orgullosa de haberte leido, escuchado y siempre, cuentas conmigo.

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Muchísimas gracias, Marcela! ❤ ¡Y encantado de saber que cuento contigo!

[@Chillbertti]

Having a bipolar partner and this talk was right on the spot. Powerful words. Thank you for this!

[@nachoruizhens]

¡I am glad you liked it!

[@consultamedicatorrelodones7331]

Bravo!!!! Desde España todo mi reconocimiento a la valentía y al coraje… Orgulloso tienes que estar de ayudar con tu testimonio a todos los pacientes aquejados de esta enfermedad … un abrazo enorme Dra .Elsa Martí Barceló

[@yemiliegoldberg9594]

Felicidades Nacho ! Que charla más emotiva y sincera. Aplaudo tu valentía y coraje para asumir tu nueva mirada de la vida , con consciencia y aceptación radical . Un abrazo grande 🎉

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Mil gracias Yemilie!

[@adf9088]

Nacho, enhorabuena por tu valentía al reconocer en un medio con tanta difusión como TED cómo estás afrontando tu enfermedad. Creo que tu presentación se debe difundir lo máximo posible porque estoy seguro que puede ayudar a muchas personas Por desgracia, hasta ahora, no es frecuente que las personas con algún trastorno mental hablen transparencia de las enfermedades mentales transitornos Creo que tu presentación debería pues no es frecuente que las personas con algún trastorno

[@LuisRodriguez-xu2cp]

Nacho, podría haber estado escuchándote horas…aparte de un superhéroe en superación has demostrado ser un comunicador extraordinario, enhorabuena!!!

[@Crisis2593]

Such a powerful message for everyone dealing with mental health issues… we need to be better at normalising not being OK, thank you Nacho!

[@javiervalles6608]

It is not easy to have the courage to talk about such intimate topics just to try to help others and the transparent and personal way you have approached it, seems to me that it was exactly what the people need, BRAVO NACHO!!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Javi! ❤

[@EduardoPerez-ce2mr]

Magnífico Nacho!! Gracias por compartirlo! Transmites tanta pasión, tanto conocimiento y tanta esperanza que tú video merece ser visto por todos. Lección de vida de las q merecen la pena. Resalto dos de tus frases para momentos de angustia: 1. "Esto también pasará" y 2. "El suicidio es una solución permanente para un problema temporal".

[@pablomontesmorquecho5388]

Maravilloso. Me ha llenado de energía positiva para enfrentar las adversidades que ahora mismo me está presentando la vida. Esta charla va más allá de la bipolaridad, y es aplicable a cualquier adversidad. Gracias Nacho!!

[@borjafernandez8354]

Enhorabuena!! Me ha encantado oírte. Lo he hecho dos veces. Lo mejor, afrontarlo, no esconderte. Eres grande. Muy grande.

[@yolydespis]

What an interesting and inspiring speech! It is great that you have been able to speak about your condition to help other people in the same situation. God bless you, Nacho.

[@tiffanyelliott8993]

Nacho, I am so deeply moved by your story and journey. While I always had the greatest respect for you as a work colleague, the work you do now is a true legacy and inspiration to others. So happy to know you and for the peace you now have and the important message you now share.

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Tiffany! The great respect is mutual and I love what you say about a legacy!! ❤

[@arthurjanzen]

Listening to his journey from rock bottom to helping others is honestly inspiring. It makes me want to volunteer or something. Like, if he can turn his pain into purpose, maybe I can do something good with my struggles too.

[@nachoruizhens]

@arthurjansen Thank you very much for your comment. There are a lot of positive comments which I appreciate but yours made me feel specially good.

[@redchen3682]

Love the unmatched pair of shoes. It's very symbolical - the shoes are like the illness. But if you try and see the whole person, you will see that they are still beautiful despite their unmatched "unusual" pair of shoes.

[@nachoruizhens]

What you said is beautiful, thanks for sharing your thought.

[@bryanestelle]

that bit about labels being for shampoo cracked me up. but also got me thinking about how I label myself and others. maybe it's time to just start seeing people as people.

[@adf9088]

Además, creo que debemos agradecerte tu decisión de difundir lo máximo posible tu experiencia para que otras personas en una situación similar sepan que, aunque la enfermedad sea crónica, se puede tratar y llevar una vida normal.

[@mnievesgarcianido1322]

Muy bien descrito Nacho, tu explicación y tu sinceridad ayudarán a muchas personas a lograr salir adelante siguiendo tu ejemplo. Ánimo y sigue así.

[@ghosteadarenacida]

Muchas felicidades, Nacho, por este logro, y por los muchos que están por venir. Ha sido una bendición conocerte. Siempre podrás contar conmigo. Cuídate mucho 🙌

[@nachoruizhens]

¡¡Muchas gracias, Miren!! ¡¡Igualmente!!

[@nachoruizhens]

❤

[@LifeSculptors]

What a courageous talk brother! You are helping so many find peace and freedom to live without judgement. Thank you - Dante Poole

[@champdynasty8992]

My brother and I have bipolar disorder and this was very powerful to me. I’ve tried to embrace my condition and make the most of it. It doesn’t define me, what I do with it does. Stay strong and God bless you all! 🤟🏼

[@josievannorman]

What a journey this guy has been through with this condition. I really enjoyed hearing about the journey though, dark times and all.

[@bimbohgchekwas]

Nacho this is a powerful presentation. Thanks for sharing from the heart.

[@javierfernandez5075]

Siempre supe que eras un superhéroe! una presentación brillante! un abrazo muy grande! (tu amigo y antiguo vecino javi) ❤

[@nachoruizhens]

Gracias Javi por este mensaje, que me ha hecho sonreír!! Me alegra de que el toque “Superhéroe” te haya gustado. De las zapatillas, mejor ni hablamos…😅🤣

[@luisfernandez455]

I have a very good friend diagnosed with this and your talk help me understand it a little better. Thanks, Nacho

[@nachoruizhens]

I am glad, Luis. All my love for you and your friend.

[@silviarapidtherapist9046]

Fantastic talk Nacho, thanks for sharing. Mental fitness, the way I like to call it, is more about let go of the fears and embrace diversity. As a therapist and coach I can see how many need support and awareness is key. “Don’t make a permanent decision or temporary feelings”. I love this quote which helps make it all relative. Love yourselves as your life depended it on it 🫶

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Silvia!! I love the concept of mental fitness!!

[@matverna]

Radical transparency is a crucial healing tool for us as individuals, and also a vital public health philosophy that can help reduce stigma and isolation.

[@nachoruizhens]

I am glad that we are in agreement! 🦾🦾🦾

[@antonioestebanez8465]

Amazing speech. I really think this can really make a diference and help other people with this message. Proud of being a friend of that man, that I am sure that he can add much value to the society with things like this one. An extraordinary example of overcoming

[@IndaMoment]

I’ve been on and off meds for years and I’ve always felt pretty ashamed about it. Hearing him talk so openly about his treatment is oddly comforting though. Like you know other people experience this stuff too but it’s kind of rare to hear about it

[@belenfierro9588]

Increíble discurso Nacho! Muy bien contado! Seguro que ya estás ayudando a más personas con este mismo problema! Eres una persona muy grande!!!❤

[@aleksdimitrov4134]

Very powerful message Nacho, so glad that talking openly about the subject helped you to stand up on both feet with clear mind! Way to go!

[@eduardodelafuenteruiz7330]

Amazing talk Nacho! I believe it is a really important thing that people needs to learn about and you opening up is a big step in order to change this.

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you Edu for your appreciation!! 🫶 It was a really nice surprise to read your comment. What was your favorite part of the talk?

[@monroemann]

One more thing. When I was helping Nacho prepare by listening to his talk on zoom, I was feeling so sad and quite miserable (for other personal reasons). This talk by Nacho Ruiz cheered me up dramatically. It was precisely the message I needed. The right message by the right messenger at the right moment. Thank you Nacho!

[@monroemann]

Even better than when I first heard it five months ago during practice. As someone who has endured severe bouts of depression, your message resonates strongly with me. It inspired me, made me laugh, and has given me great hope. You’ve been such a big supporter of mine Nacho. I am glad now that I can return the favor by helping you to promote this amazing talk. It deserves to go viral to all ends of the earth!

[@MrAlgorri]

How brawe you are, Nacho! Congratulations for such a great talk. Desde España te enviamos un fuerte abrazo.

[@Bricopelota]

Valiente Nachete. Me alegro mucho que hayas encontrado con la fórmula de avanzar, de recuperar tu orden y de incluso servir de inspiración y ejemplo a mucha gente. Toda lo mejor para que esa energía sea duradera, es a buen seguro el mejor de los caminos!

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Muchísimas gracias! Espero poder ayudar ❤

[@RAQUELASENJO-ve4zg]

Felicidades por contarlo. Es bueno para ti y para toda la sociedad. Bravo.

[@Perspectango]

Amazing! You made me cry Nacho... Congratulations for taking this great step! You are an amazing human being! Thank you for being there!

[@annieharmon4698]

I have schizoaffective disorder which is a combination of bipolar and schizophrenia. It has been a long road to recovery. I am happy to say that I have now been stable for 6 years after being in the hospital 21 times. These are serious illnesses that need to be taken seriously. I'm so glad you are speaking out about this important topic. Congratulations Nacho! Annie

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you for sharing, Annie and congratulations on your stability!

[@valencupida]

how did you accomplish your stability? medication? lifestyle change? therapy? thank you bless you❤

[@christianrudloff5789]

Wow Nacho!! What a powerful message. I commend you for your bravery to speak up and help others. Very proud of you ❤💪👏🙌

[@JuanDeZavala-br3oi]

Enorme Nacho! Muy inspirador! Espero que todo vaya bien y además que tu empuje ayude a quien lo necesite! Valiente!

[@kanyakonsrimanopanithan]

I've got an uncle with bipolar and I never really understood what he was going through... I feel pretty bad now for all the times the family would talk about his drama and get dismissed as being dramatic

[@bagostan1898]

good point about mental illness not defining you. It's just one part of who you are, not the whole part and it seems unfair that we label people based on stuff like that

[@josemseara8912]

Nacho, you are a force of nature. I am lucky to have met you. You are an inspiration.

[@SandeepGupta-uy3ze]

Excellent Nacho, a beautifully delivered message, with vulnerability and giving hope.

[@jacitarlowe9713]

Thank you for sharing this inspiring talk. It's a difficult decision for us with bipolar disorder to decide who and when to disclose the illness and access that courage. Acceptance is not always easy, but treatment and awareness are increasingly available. Thank you for spreading such a positive message.

[@elapayes8250]

Enhorabuena Nacho!!! Gracias por visibilizar la importancia de la salud mental y practicar la transparencia radical! Lo cuentas de maravilla

[@sadiaykor]

I really felt it when he talked about feeling like a failure in every part of life. I don't have bi-polar but I've been in that dark place before and it's so hard, was really great to hear him talk about how he turned it around

[@luzgonzalezprieto326]

Enhorabuena por todo el esfuerzo que te ha llevad hasta aquí. Qué necesarios son testimonios sinceros como el tuyo. Y reconocer la importancia del apoyo psicológico. Qué lejos vemos a veces lo que le sucede a los demás. Qué estigma tan potente existe sobre la salud mental. Necesitamos avanzar juntos, sensibilizar y aprender cada día.

[@JoeElfar]

Powerful testimony! Thank God that those words you needed to hear, were heard by you while you were in the deepest low of your journey. Your survival and thriving will serve to save so many others who are struggling. God bless you and keep you safe!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you Joe for helping people like me when we need it the most. ❤

[@diegohensatienza2792]

¡Bravo! Además de tu valentía, consigues emocionar con tu historia. Un final cargado de positividad y HOPE. Ojalá tuviera palabras a la altura del mensaje.

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Mil gracias querido Diego! ❤

[@nadeskagallardolichaa8152]

Congratulations! Beautiful message you deliver. Society must raise awareness and your speech helps create a collective message. May this be the first of many presentations around the world to create a community of radical transparency. Count on me.

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Thank you so much for your supportive words Nadeska!

[@knicknamej]

I love your message of radical transparency! As someone who as a therapist works with many diagnosed with BPD, I appreciate that we are not our diagnoses; they are a part of us, but not the most important part. The most important step is getting help from professional therapists we trust (don't settle for any one person-If you don't click with them, find one with which you connect). Bravo, Nacho!

[@nachoruizhens]

I fully agree!! Trusting your therapist is so important!! And your psychiatrist. Maintaining an open line of communication if anything arises. Thank you for your comment! 🤗

[@ManuelMartinez-gz9he]

Nacho, muchas gracias por mostrarnos la realidad. Estoy impresionado y emocionado por tu presentación. Te deseo lo mejor y estoy seguro de que tu ejemplo será de ayuda para muchas personas afectadas y a sus familiares y amigos. Nuestro corazón está contigo. Fuerte abrazo.

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Muchísimas gracias Manuel por tus palabras de apoyo!

[@EstelaAndraus-uk8re]

Nacho, how courageous to share your story with all us. I loved the action items you mention.

[@athelise]

I was diagnosed at 26 with Cyclothymia after struggling for years with most of the problems you listed. I've gone through medication adjustments and therapy (no hospitalizations, tho I probably should've had one or two), and learning to re-love hobbies that I would normally need to be manic to enjoy. I've been incredibly blessed and lucky to have a supportive family who've loved me on and off medication. It was a surprise to them, and to me, at how much I was struggling internally. Learning to admit to myself how bad off I was a big part in accepting help since I was in denial about having a mood disorder. Radical transparency needs to begin with yourself.

[@ginnymeissner-borton9480]

Radical Transparency! What a great concept! Rid yourself of the shame attached to mental illness and accept and share your diagnosis! Normalize the conversation about mental health. Thank you Nacho for what you are doing to help transform the stigma!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Ginny, I am glad that my message resonated with you and I hope it continues to resonate with others. ❤

[@ximenajantonio]

Bipolar disorder sounds really tough to live with, I'm glad he's talking about it though, stuff like this gives hope for other people living with it

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you Ximena!

[@MARCOALVI]

Increíble Nacho. Me ha impresionado muchísimo escucharte. Eres un valiente. Una charla tremendamente motivadora que seguro que ayuda a mucha gente. Un fuerte abrazo

What a wonderfully personal (and vulnerable) share. I'm glad to have met you in California and spend some time with you! Take care my friend.

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you Tom! Likewise

[@aljadra889]

Amazing,Nacho! I really understand that your mother is so proud of you. I know something of all that you tell ... but I had not raised the importance of transparency. It's true: hiding things never helps. Congratulations!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you! I am glad that my message resonated with you!!

[@cynthiaarmstrong2031]

What a beautiful message! Even in our challenges we are powerful. We can all each other real questions and give space for real answers.

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Thank you, Cynthia! ❤

[@Rikke-fe8jh]

A very strong, powerful and beautiful speech.

[@m8s777]

He's so right about mental illness being invisible. makes me think twice about judging people.

Muchísimas felicidades Nacho!!! Te mereces todo lo mejor 🎉❤

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Muchas gracias, Laura! 🙏🏽 😊 ¿Cuál fue tu parte favorita?

[@tbradix]

Hi Nacho, Your TEDx was simply magnificent and ever-so empowering. I thank you for making your story public and would like to share your story with a struggling friend. I, too, shared your struggles, although not diagnosed with BD. I hit a dark period that I am happy that I survived and came out on THIS side of things: LIFE! Normalizing mental health starts with each of us: Radical Transparency! Thank you!!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you @tbradix for taking the time to share your story. I am glad that my Talk resonated with you! ❤

[@markdecataldo5933]

Thank you Nacho for being so brave and so open.

Gracias por esta maravillosa charla tan didáctica.

[@elguia5442]

Thank you Nacho for bringing awareness on such an important subject

[@nachoruizhens]

You are very welcome, when I was diagnosed initially I had no idea about this condition which is why I believe that awareness is important!!

[@yosoyaltafrecuencia]

Wow! Thank you Nacho for such an inspiring and heartfelt message. I totally agree with you. We need to open space for truth and forget about tags that limit our ability to communicate what we truly feel. Coming back to our truth, to our hearts will set us free. ❤

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Thank you so much for your supportive words! I am glad my message resonated with you.

[@SergioAsensio154]

Amazing speech Nacho, congratulations!!

[@RicardoRuizFernandez]

Impressive talk! You are really Superman! You have been fighting against your worst enemy, the only one at you capacity level: yourself! And you have shown us all how to defeat that part of you that you do not need. Or perhaps yes, as you say, to make the best of yourself! I think this talk is better than 1000 therapy sessions, and can help a lot of people who are now learning the process to see back the light. It also helps normalize a situation that should be normal!!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, dear Ricardo!

[@mariajosepavidalfuster7979]

Gracias por compartir tu vivencia que visibiliza, ensen̈a y normaliza. ❤

Thank you for sharing your story! Your transparency will be the lifeline to so many people and empower mental health professionals to continue to do the work with passion.
