A medical doctor told me lithium is and has been the best know treatment for bi polar. Unfortunately they can only prescribe lithium carbonate, which is known for its strong dosages harming kidneys. Lithium orotate and lithium aspartate are available over the counter and come in doses as low as 125mg, in comparison to 250mg. lithium carbonate. Carbonate is one of the worse binders for delivering lithium to the brain for controlling bi polar episode. Orotate and aspartate are by far superior binders for delivery.
Im not a doctor.
Ask your doctor or prescriber and they will tell you they cannot prescribe orotate or aspartate (because the lithium dose is so low it doesnt require a prescription) Ask your pharmacist if they see anything in lithium orotate or aspartate and they will tell you they dont offer it because its over the counter. Ask them if they see anything in it that will harm you and they will very likely say no. Same with your medical doctor or prescriber.
Going through unaided and undiagnosed prescription benzo withdrawals I used lithium orotate. The withdrawals and mania were hell. However I attribute low dose over the counter lithium to my survival. Ask your doctor. Youre welcome.

Okay I don't really know if I'm bipolar or no but I have been researching about BD and I do have times where I'm so happy that I would act like a child and just pretty much annoy everyone around me. Then i would have long periods of depression and this affects my day to day life. Have these depressive days just feels like I'm on a moving boat but there's no water. I'm trying to get out of it but I simply cannot and I've already lost so many things because of it. My hyper days varies. Sometimes I would just clean and rearrange room then it will all drop by the night and I would become depressed for no reason at all and start thinking random things. Or i would feel sick and unable to eat, sleep and do become so unproductive and It get frustrating.
Like I want to move around and do something but it's like I'm constantly getting pulled down by this gravity.
These days I just feel numb. i feel like a robot. Then out of the blue i will feel like I just won the lottery and be all giddy and happy. I'm tired. and exhausted but I can't stop it.
I need help but I'm scared everyone will misunderstand and just ignore me.

Hey guys, can somebody help or at least give me a tip on the following: I suffer from (mental) health anxiety. Started off with a panic attack in my mid-20's. My condition is like hypochondria (used to be afraid of physical issues without any real visible cause, as for now I still struggle with the same health worries but this time purely focused on my mental health. I'm deadly scared of developing such things like bipolar, BPD or any possible personality disorder. To my information: OCD and major depression have been excluded in my case as I never had a depressive episode or compulise behavior. My only concern are those very short-term hypomanic-like 'moments' without any severe lows or highs. These moments are caused if you turn on my favorite music or if I think about sth. in positive way. I first was diagnosed with panic disorder (now recovered, later on with a condition called neurasthenia (similar to GAD. As for now it seems to be an atypical health anxiety with ADD and cyclothomia. Still I'm not sure whether it's truly cyclothomia and not just ADD/anxiety! Can someone please help me, I'm very confused.

I nanny these kids every Thursday, the oldest, whos ten has HORRIBLE BPD. Like, horrible. She hasnt been diagnosed because they wont take her to a psychiatric doctor, but she has 99% of all the symptoms and behaviors that I have researched. Her parents dont know what to do either because shes a terrible child. I want to tell them that I truly believe that she is bipolar, but I think they would brush it off/be offended. No one wants to be around her, she causes so much stress and strife in the family. She will be out of the room and everythings fine, then she walks in and hell breaks loose. If she was on medication Im sure there would be a huge difference.

The most important fact about any of this is that mental health practitioners lack a basic clue in diagnosis. The practitioner I was seeing wasted no time in diagnosing me with bipolar disorder. So began the destruction of everything I valued in life. This video is just so much crap. I cry for anyone who gets diagnosed as bipolar and is put on a regiment of dangerous medication. The lithium I took for 23 years made me tired and lethargic. It is not easy walking around in a lithium fog. The chirpy tone of this video annoys me to no end. The treatment also ruined my kidneys, a side effect I will have for the rest of my life.

I was first diagnosed with Schizo-affective Disorder then I was re-diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Now I am waiting on a new diagnosis because I can confirm that I have had mania as well as a depressed state, which I couldn't confirm before for some reason, which will mean that my doctor can't deny that I am bi-polar.
What will most likely happen is they will rediagnose me as Schizo-affective believing that I still am still a schizophrenic with bi-polar disorder.
It's been 12 years since that the Schizo-affective disorder diagnosis so I most likely have recovered from schizophrenia. But who knows? Not my doctor.

I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 'unknown' by blood test, and what you just said really hit the nail on the head. After I had therapy, I was so relieved to get myself off medications, since I was given old fashioned ones for skitsophrenia. To be honest, they weren't helping me and I never had any massive highs or delve to the depths lows. Personally, I feel I was 'put in a box' because even when I was young, going through therapy and etc, there has never been a category for me. Besides if I do have BPD, it has never interfered with my daily life and I don't have the symptoms that would be affiliated with it.

first of all BPD and bipolar are two different disorders, i was going to send this video to my family for them to understand my condition more clearly because they wouldn't listen if i tell them but i am very disappointed by how everything was explained in this video, like MRI scans play a huge role in bipolar disorder as well as depression, yes depression and bipolar are different and require different medication but when you have BD2 then you will have a major depressive episode which is litreally identical to unipolar depression, sorry wasn't impressed by this video.

I was mis-diagnosed with depression. Then when was put on anti-depressants, I crashed.
Threatening suicide on social media, put in hospital then diagnosed bipolar 2. Now diagnosed bipolar 1. Its been a rough ride, but once you find the right doctors, right people, things do start to improve.
One very important fact one of my psychiatrist mentioned to me; when people are misdiagnosed with depression and put on antidepressants, the medications are lethal. In my case, I was suffering from being bipolar, not depression.
Many thanks, great video

I was severely abused by some one with bpd for 5 years. They can deffenetly cause seriouse harm to others around them. 10 is completely false. My bipoler sister is also physicaly violent with my mother. Please have your facts straight. They do cause severe harm to those around them. I've now been diagnosed with battered person syndrome and PTSD. I have dreams of her abusing me and as far as tieing me up and chopping my toes off. I wake up drenched in sweat and screaming gasping for air. The cause seriouse trauma to those around them.

I have BD. started at 12. Never stopped me all my life. worked went to college. graduated. became a nurse. spec Ed teacher and case manager/ counselor. My manic episodes gave me the energy I needed. My depression were only for a few days. Now I'm all depression with once in awhile a surge of energy. I hate this and my meds barely work. they just make me more depressed or tired.
I had quick cycling which was terrible like a roller coaster but now. .just anxious depression. what a combo.

I don't necessarily think we are a danger to ourselves and others. Yes, we go through hell, but we know our limits from experience, and quite frankly, we have limits that most others couldn't even imagine. So we, in a sense, are able to control ourselves because of this.
I fully believe that if anyone with BD was given a normal brain, they would kick ass. But no, we aren't a danger, we suffer immensely, but we learn how to control the impact of our actions better over time.

We shouldnt use the term suffer, or sufferer, as it carries a negative connotation and makes me feel like I will SUFFER for the rest of my life. Instead I recommend saying for a person who lives with/ a person with/ someone that lives with People neglect to understand already and using that word makes our lives sound miserable, I want to be better and live a fulfilling life we dont want to be labeled as sufferers thank you.

Man this fits me to a T. I daydream about my old job and role play in my head as if I were still there. Its like I revisit the time I went down hill got arrested and lost my job because of it and Im still there and still in a great leader position putting out fires and still have all my old friends. Then when I come back to reality I get super depressed.

When you cant see a doctor because your parents tell you things like, its just your hormones, or, I'll think about it, and then dont do anything about it. And then them and the rest of your family proceed to invalidate your feelings by saying that you're fine, like they know more about your mental health than you do. Haha, imagine.

I hate people with bipolar disorder. I met a new co-worker a year ago. He is sometimes too hyper, too confident, too talkative, but sometimes too depress and made the others unhappy.
He is never a team player and caused trouble to our team.
I hope I will never meet another bipolar person.

Only Americans can make such negative videos on subjects such as bipolar disorder. Why would a sufferer show this video to anyone if they were looking to be comforted or understood? It will simply scare any family member or friend away from someone that has suffered enough at this point.

You missed a kind of important aspect it isnt mood swings. A switch isnt being flipped throughout the day. If Im manic/hypomanic thats gonna go on for at least a week or two if not longer. Depressed episodes can last weeks to months. Mood swings is an awful way to describe it.

Note: BPD is not Bipolar. Bipolar is BD, while BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder. Bipolar mood swings are weeks long, whereas BPD mood swings are extremely severe and happen within minutes/hours, often involving people and emotional aspects.

Consuming endocrine system disruptors, hormone disrupting chemicals knowingly or unknowingly does not help the bipolar individual. Alcohol is number one endocrine system disruptor. A catalyst for dis-ease. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol.
