Hypomania

THIS is what Hypomania looks like. See he's a bit excitable but is very much in control. When he loses his thread he usually finds it again. He talks of crazy ideas, whereas a manic person would see crazy ideas as perfectly rational. He talks about wanting to spend lots of money, says he has no money, then drops in the fact that he has enough for a trip to Colorado. See: self-control. The difference between hypomania and full mania is control.



This guy is funny. He's a bit hypomanic here:~
Citalopram is Cipramil, an SSRI which you shouldn't really take if you're HYPOMANIC.

Bock auf Sex?

Specially posted up for Anna Grace in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.
"Do you want to have sex?" Who says the Germans have no sense of humour? This is German TV comedy. About sex, of course. You don't need to speak German to follow any of this.
Sehr vulgär

What it's like to be psychotic

What it's like to be psychotic (and manic). This bipolar lady describes it very well:

Psychosis

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT MAD

NO IT'S NOT WHAT I WAS LIKE IT'S WHAT YOU WERE ALL LIKE

THIS IS HOW PEOPLE TALKED TO ME, THIS IS WHAT YOUR BLOGS WENT LIKE, LIKE THIS:

Depression

Same lady looking well. The mood is if anything slightly "elevated"

Bipolar disorder

This Canadian woman is lying on the street at night talking to camera in the midst of what she says is a manic episode (looks like there's a goodly portion of attention-grabbing going on too "I'm crazy" and all that...)



This is medicated mania; she's still rabbitting away 19 to the 12 though!



If this is mania we're all cyclothymic. Come on man, this guy is in a perfectly ordinary frame of mind. No sign of racing speech, thought derailment, grandiosity, elevated mood or irritability. In short no evidence of even mild hypomania.

He's supposed to have cyclothymia, which is so mild you only get subclinical depression and subclinical mania. In other words totally normal mood swings that only a real hypochondriac would ever feel the need to medicate.

Oh I know why this guy is so obviously losing his mind: he's just had a Red Bull "sugar free of course; God knows what would have happened if he'd had it with sugar". Oh he'd have had a psychotic episode for sure. Sucrose is well known for inducing severe affective episodes. On Mars.

Dr Kay Redfield Jamison: Suicide

She is also author of Touched With Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament. She's now written a book about suicide.

Monkey: Pigsy's 10,000 ladies

MONKEY is cult TV in the true sense. Probably doesn't appeal to everyone. Those to whom it does appear like it very much!
