Psychiatric Interview | Depressive Phase of Bipolar Disorder

[@alarahillton1343]

I’m 70; and I feel for her. So many of us suffering ; I’m sure she was abused in childhood. This is what happens. I hope she’s in heaven.

[@Lynnsmhhh]

"What do you forsee in the immediate future?" - "I don't know." I was diagnosed with bipolar depression almost 2 years ago. When I was diagnosed, I noticed no one ever explained fully what Bipolar even was. Everything I've learned is simply from my hours and hours of research. I stumbled upon vintage psychiatric films 1 year ago and seeing the emptiness in this woman's eyes feel almost like a reflection of my own. Learning how to manage through this disorder is extremely difficult, and often times, I feel so alone. It's incredibly heartbreaking feeling so many emotions at once, and yet not knowing why or what causes the waves of anguish to begin with. The stigmas around this condition is also so so alienating. I wish I could simply be happy and show emotions in the appropriate way, but seeing these videos makes me feel like I'm not alone, and it opens my eyes to the struggles of others, WAY before my time even. My heart goes out to anyone struggling with this.

My nephew was diagnosed and committed suicide I can’t begin to explain the pain I feel but you have to see they were suffering

[@Simteresting]

Have been manic episodes for years and after about 3-5 months they turn into the most devastating depression i ever felt.. never been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but i hope ill get more clarity ab what i have this year.. i relate so much to this poor woman, i wonder what happened to her ❤

[@Тамара-ъ3у]

Держитесь. Храни вас Бог.

[@marinawilkinson5840]

Her eyes tell it all. Her suffering is unimaginable. Ive been there many times after a manic phase. The depression is like something that you feel only death can answer. This condition is so devastating and I feel so alone with it even though I have support from family and friends. It’s hard to describe. I have wondered hundreds of times why did I get this. 😢😢😢

I love elderly people and this breaks my heart

[@cherylcampbell7495]

I’m 74 and work part time for an independent apartment complex. Late 80’s 90’s. All walk around with walkers. Some ask why am I still here. Children have passed, husbands, wives. No one visits. They walk their old dogs. Sometimes it gets me depressed. God love us elderly because our government sure doesn’t.

[@marymcdonagh-ql4sx]

This is why god gave us dogs ! They don't have any other purpose but to be our friend, our companion, a child substitute, and to love us! God had it all planned out and was thinking about people like the elderly and the lonely! He FORGETS NO ONE! and he has a SOLUTION to all our problems ,and we must show HIM LOVE and GRATITUDE for taking care of all our needs and loving us unconditionally!! Lol🙏👍

[@Rippenhengst]

Be thankful that you don't need a walker. I can't even drive anymore and have to call a taxi for a visit at the doctor. And they reduced our rent to a minimum here. Many peoples don't have the money for a cab.

[@flexiveganc7441]

thank you, I will think about.... and when i feel better tomorrow i will ask a old person for going outsite

[@judithlight1111]

Her eyes ...it breaks my heart. I hope she founds the peace and love now ( all the daily severe suffering and and..).god bless her❤

[@matchaa4a]

The videos in this channel are so insightful. Thank you for uploading.

[@ChristinaRoshto]

Tears 30second in. I resonate deeply. There is nothing during these times, I exist. I am a shell of a person. I absorb nothing of reality and can’t give anything either.

[@lawrencetiffany]

Damn I felt this too. Times like this, the less I have talk or do, the better😢

[@rachelbartlett9783]

I can totally feel her desperation. Depression makes me feel as I imagine a leper may feel.

[@tinadiesman5442]

My mother went to bed for five years. This reminded me of how tired she said she was. She wasn't overworked. She needed psychiatric help, which she usually refused. It was easier for her to give into it instead of trying to get better.

[@lluna1266]

Oh my goodness. How is your mother now? Is she still with us?

[@tinadiesman5442]

@@lluna1266 Thank you for asking. She passed away last month. After taking morphine for 30 years. Our health industry assisted in her self destruction. They never helped her but instead made her a drug addict.

[@janefuerte9623]

Those sighs and heavy breathing. You can feel her exhaustion.

[@rezamohamadakhavan_abdolla8627]

And the cause of her exhaustion are those same deep breaths causing imbalance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in her blood.

[@marinellamanzo4920]

Credo che per lei sarebbe stato terapeutico abbracciarla forte

[@serenataserenata2631]

​@@rezamohamadakhavan_abdolla8627 Sorry but fast and short breaths do this. Deep breaths physiologically provide enough time for the lungs' alveoli to fill with external oxygenated air, whereas fast and short lead to the external air not reaching alveoli at all. But here and in mental conditions in general, the emotions this lady is experiencing, her depression, make her feel soo tired that even deep breaths ain't gonna give her a sense of renewing...

[@nohayninguna]

⁠@@rezamohamadakhavan_abdolla8627precisely. Positive feedback loop

[@stefanhortell4046]

This is an episod of severe depression/melancoly they used to call manic/depression psycosis. At that time the best treatment was ECT. Its still used in some cases.

[@serenataserenata2631]

I think ECT is used nowadays in some States of America when the patient has no response although the medicine they have taken, meaning they don't even get out of bed, talk, eat (not even forced to do so). In these cases where if you don't do something forcefully to help them and leave them alone, they will just die.

[@psalmsreader7997]

She is bipolar, this requires medication, it really is a brain disease. The lows are brutal. They suffer so much.

[@donnajk4423]

My poor darling grandmother was this way. Was given ect in the 40s many times nd meds etc. She stayed in units sometimes but lived with us all her life. Mum loved and cared for her, and nan was a very creative and caring person. But her nerves were destroyed when they gave her a full hysterectomy, with no hormonal replacement therapy. and things went downhill with depression and anxiety etc. She was a very strong lady though , and my mum was devoted to her care. I miss them both 😢

[@GrowWildOutdoors]

This story breaks my heart. Love to your family.

[@donnajk4423]

@laurabrown6522 Thank you. That means a lot to me. It truly does. ❤ 🫂 😌

[@GrowWildOutdoors]

@@donnajk4423 Someone in my family is going through a very similar experience with the hysterectomy. The impact on general affect is amazing.

[@donnajk4423]

@laurabrown6522 I wish your family member good health and the benefits of modern surgery, etc, a safe and easier time . Hormone adjustments can make such a difference, too .

[@GrowWildOutdoors]

@@donnajk4423 This is helpful to know, thank you!

[@levity90]

In amazed at how few modern intevriews of people suffering extreme depression are there. Of a doctor sitting with a patient like this and asking them questions. It would be extremely helpful to have more interviews like this done

[@sam-fc9ky]

At 63 with Depression, Psychosis and other things , I know what this woman is saying. The only way out is assisted death before it comes back again- I do not wish depression/psychosis on anyone- its so debillitating- no lust for life anymore

[@marymcdonagh-ql4sx]

Her eyes are sad 🥺and EMPTY! 😳 her soul lost in the debts and despair of her miserable and weary life! May god bless her and l restore your soul and fill it with love🧡 and joy💜 once again !🐝🌸🌈🌻 RIP LADY.🥀🙏

[@aie_aie_]

I think of the unbelievable number of poor people in history who have suffered like this woman and for whom medicine has been unable to do anything, or has even made things worse because of poor care 😢 (in Canada they call this "secondary victimisation").

[@olgagal8365]

God I hope this lady has found peace

[@marymcdonagh-ql4sx]

I wonder did she have a dog? It would have been a good thing for her to have some companionship and give her a reason to get out of bed every morning ,knowing she HAS to walk the dog! it would give her a responsibly with rewards! I would have definitely recommended she got herself a small dog or cat, I feel it would have helped for a mental disorder like this!

[@lillierobinson1786]

Having a pet, children, spouse, good job..... none of that motivates someone w severe depression. The inability to do what's needed for a pet only furthers the feeling of hopelessness and self loathing. Pets are wonderful motivators in other situations. But in a clinical depression like this the pet would not be cared for.

[@marymcdonagh-ql4sx]

@@lillierobinson1786 maybe in some cases but not all, I suffered clinical depression, I used to take drugs, cut myself , slept the whole time, cried every day, was suicidal , neglected my house cleaning , which w Made me more depressed seeing my home messy , because I had OCD and Was a clean freak .. at the that time!... I got myself a Pomeranian puppy and having a dog toove and care for and loveing me back and not judging me or hating me, gave me the motivation to get up every morning and feed him and take him out for walks, because he made me HAPPY!!....

[@andrewellard7254]

Poor soul.. The term 'Bipolar' replaces 'Manic Depressive Psychosis'. Words, just words. This sweet lady needs ECT and careful antidepressant Mx care. Supportive underlying life experiences to be cared about next with love and humanity.

[@majadimitrijevic2365]

It is not about the brain. It's about the heart and soul. It's deep and heavy seadnes inside. I feel that to. But I need to fight becouse of my children. I have very hard life story and I a little of happines in my life. So how to be normal? And who is normal today?

[@andrewmorton395]

When people are like this really need 24 support

[@StevieRake73]

I feel like this lady had physical ailments also like maybe a stroke you could see the pulling on the corners of her mouth. She said she was extremely tired and sweating. Maybe mini-strokes 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@levity90]

Doctors should be conducting interviews like this now.

[@TheKellyd01]

My grandmother had mental illness and all they could do was give her valium. I can't imagine how people back then managed. I mean back then people actually worked like horses!

[@MarianaFerreira-l1f]

I dont know if im bipolar I was in euphoria but then I crash into severe depression

[@razvantataru262]

Curious if she experienced abuse in childhood & was stimulated into the episode by her babysitting.

[@The53rrc]

I understand it.

[@The53rrc]

Is there a video of her manic phase?

[@Jo-lp1px]

That’s a great question

[@mariotenneriello]

I don’t think

[@mariotenneriello]

At that time did they give medicine for this problem? Without treatment is almost impossible to overcome and pain is overwhelming

[@Valkonnen]

What people must face is the "Human Condition" is wrongly ;labeled as Disease so that they can treat it with medicine. The problem is that if the base at which you start and if the entire industry is wrong, you end up helping no one. Things like "Depression" and 'anxiety" are not diseases, and they should not be labeled as such. They are result of your personal experience and the way that you have dealt with it. It's a lot of "Enabling" which like religion makes an excuse for your behavior, blaming it on imaginary devils, Psychiatry wrongly labels it an "Illness". People in our historical past, had lives that were miserable, yet few folded and gave up. The FACT that we live in a comparably cushy society, yet everyone is supposedly "Sick" should make one thing clear. Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies make trillions every year...Not a single person has ever been "Cured" because, as I said, the very base of the belief system is completely wrong.

[@giulia3855]

Ok...except the first documented symptoms of depressione were described by hyppocrates in the fifth/fourth century B.C (melancholia). Invalidating depression and other mental illnesses always existed, the difference Is that before the sixties ill people were thrown into asylums and forgotten about, so of course there's no trace of them in history, but they existed. "Once upn a time there was no depressed people" Is bullshit. I recognize that the concept of depression Is used too lightly today, but I wouldn't talk in that way about severe depression, the borderline psychotic one that finally comes with suicide.

[@Valkonnen]

​@@giulia3855 I never said that "Once upon a time there were no depressed people". I am stating the fact that by treating it as a medical condition, enables people to be unwell and fold. Why do you suppose that there are MORE people with "Depression and Anxiety" in our cushy world that our ancestors could never even imagine? How could the people that came before us have endured misery and death , yet persevered and became strong? You are falling for the lie that has been sold , and has never to date "Cured" anyone of these made up conditions. You can have been abused, and would therefore be "Depressed". You could have low self-esteem and have "Anxiety". Now, you can either see these as completely explainable states of being, OR see them as "Mental Illness". If you see them as "Mental Illness", you can take your creative child and diagnose him/her with ADHD and prescribe pure Amphetamines t our children in the form of Adderall. Or give SSRIs to "Treat" Depression which cause suicidal and psychotic episodes because they ruin your brain chemistry. How about prescribing dangerous Benzodiazepines for "Anxiety" which are more addictive than Heroin and cause severe side effects. These along with Bullshit Therapy, which they have found , talking about problems , magnifies them, thus continuing the cycle, are making Trillions for the "Mental Health Industry" ,""Psychiatry" and Pharmaceuticals ...

[@giulia3855]

@@Valkonnen Who said they didn't folded and gave up? Do you gave statistics? Do you have the numbers of people Who were secluded in asylums? I know psychiatry Is faaaaaar from perfect. By the way, if you have a honest psychiatrist he Will explain that these drugs doesn't cure depression, they help you manage the symptoms while you get your shit togheter. Depression can be a result of trauma: if medicine and psychotherapy are bullshit, how would you prevent suicide or a life wasted on the street or secluded somewhere? Because THAT'S the result of depressione. Death or be a living dead. A problem we have today Is that a LOT of people self diagnoses mental illnesses because...I don't know really. And I have the impression that america tends to diagnose people way too easily. I'm european (italian), here a psychiatrist would never prescribe an antipsychotic for insomnia

[@divingwithblastedberry8553]

i think at 71 she is allowed to feel tired .. give her a break

[@shottwice]

?? We know that. But if you even watched the video, you could SEE she's going through a depressive phase. Have you become so dimwitted that you've forgotten the difference between depression and exhaustion? Are you just one of those ignorant fools who think being tired is the equivalent of being depressed? No. It's fucking not. Also, you're framing it as if she ISN'T allowed to be tired. May I add that by this statement, you're implying that younger people can't be "tired," in your eyes, seeing as you believe exhaustion and depression as the same thing.

[@imranakber2212]

I dont think this is bipolar disorder, it looks like depressive fatigue result of narcissistic abuse .back then psychologist didn't take npd and narcissism seriously

One episode at 28 and now at 71? Don’t think bipolar disorder. More major depression.
