Manic depression is simple

Postby whero » Mon Apr 28, 2008 4:51 pm

Manic depressive is simple, up and downs, it explains your emotions but too some it is they're emotion. Manic depression is something I have suffered with my whole life. I will write this from third person to give the most and best information possible.



Adieu, I will commence my take on the disease. My thoughts and experiences with it as well as a future hope of publishing this self-written article into a community (www.psychforums.com).



The problem starts usually at a young age while in childhood with an incomplete or incoherent or dysfunctional family. A missing family member, who has died or left the family for reasons not known, Maybe, someone on a mission trying to make something of his life. This family will grow more and more anxiety and without proper treatment most likely will fall into the abyss, whatever that abyss is. Usually those with depression change their thoughts or their minds often trying to resolve problems within their family and forgetting their original choice.



This leads to more stress, anxiety and possible health problems because the brain is the central nervous system of the body and any brain damage or stress could cause unknown causes.



From thereon, misinterpreted lifestyle or maybe a reach out of that life will usually lead to hospital care, actualizing the psychosis which affects 1% of all people in the world. To break free of the psychosis the person needs to reach out of his problems and maybe knock on a door outside of his life and world but that will eventually lead to psychosis because that is considered psychotic. (Spelling?)



A new family? A new place? A new country? A new world? What does it take for this person to find salvation and have saving grace and continue his long life aspirations. Salvation is at home but what if home is where you can't make it then that is not a home but maybe an apartment or condominium or whatever else you want to call it, a shack. Half-way home or a free home, a casa Castile or last but not least Hollywood.



Change in temperament is often and obvious with someone with manic depression. But, medication, Advil, nutriments or a proper diet will cure it unless the person doesn't want to be cured.



Wrongly prescribed drugs will only lead to more problems. Possible heart palpitations from a mixture of drugs given just to keep this person from keeling over and falling down onto the ground. The best thing is a proper psychiatrist giving the proper amount and proper drugs for the situation, whatever that situation be with the manic person.



As far as the lows and highs,, the low are worst than the highs because they can send you so low you lose grip of reality and it would take a friend, even an enemy, some say nemesis to save that person. You should try your best to stay as high as possible because being wrongly labeled well is a life sentence to death.



I'll leave with this message with a famous quote.



"Some say technology will save us, while others say technology alone will save us."



Just don't be alone!

Hey,

I don't know if technology is beneficial for the human race. I have the strange feeling that it will be part of our eventual downfall.

If you are bipolar, it is important to realise the triggering events that cause the 'lows'. They cannot just appear out of nowhere - something must trigger them, whether it be diet-related or otherwise. How are you coping now?

I love that saying ('trucking along'). Which other computers are you referring to?

Also, do you agree with me that the lows and highs are induced by external factors? I'm curious because I talked to someone previously who seemed to think that they occur spontaneously. I just cannot see how thy could be spontaneous.

I'm at the other computers in a different group. I was previously in the library. I'm gonna go back and get the updated version so it's more grammatically correct. Word 2003. ;)

I have the feeling that the highs and lows of bipolar are influenced by both internal and external factors. For example, some of my mood swings have come when my life was excellent on the outside, but I had in fact lost a dream. I tend to build fantasies of how my future will be. When something happens to blow up that dream, to make it impossible--I fall apart. Likewise, my highs often come when I get information to lead me to believe that a dream will indeed come true.

I agree with you Jim - That seems to be the most logical explanation for the highs and lows. I am not afflicted with bipolar. rather, i just appear to have a constant 'low' feeling.

everybody is afflicted externally and internally, that would be DNA, the affliction to your originally DNA.

The only fix is a pill that I heard about the other day from a friend. She sais the pill can fix damage to DNA from drugs or other external elements in our world...

....it can "fix damage to DNA"? - That makes no sense. The only way to alter (or 'fix') a person's DNA is through gene-therapy, but this type of thing is only performed in experimental work at the moment. There is no drug that can do it. Maybe the drug that she was referring to contains a chemical that neutralises a toxin in the body can lead to DNA mutations.

I agree it is external factors but originally from the internal of the external. It's the mismo, we say in Spanish.
