And please if you could give me some site or something where they talk about the seriousness of the condition. I need to convince someone to get medication. Its been years and years and its getting worse. I know bipolar is a serious disease I just need proof that doctors think that way too.

* Bipolar I: Considered the classic form of the illness, bipolar I causes recurrent episodes of mania and depression. The depression may last for a short time or for months. You may then go back to feeling normal for a time, or you may go right into a manic episode.
* Bipolar II: If you have bipolar II, you will experience depression just as in bipolar I. But the episodes of mania are less severe (hypomania). People with bipolar II have more depressive episodes than hypomanic episodes.
* Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder: If you have rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, you will experience at least four episodes of depression, mania, or both within a 12-month period. You may go directly from an episode of depression to an episode of mania, or you may have a short time lapse between the two extreme moods. The mood swings are the same as with other types of bipolar, but the frequency of mood swings distinguishes rapid-cycling bipolar disorder from the other subtypes.

Its a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalace in the brain causeing severe depression (low) and manic (high) episodes.

Manic is a large range of symptoms. Risky behavior (spending, sexually, otherwise), irratablity, feeling of superiority (always right), feel like functioning best possable, racing thoughts rapid speach. And thats just some symptoms.

Please don’t think I believe this crap. People often do get better and become free of any mental disorder symptoms but psychiatry doesn’t acknowledge that.

In the world of psychiatry, what cures exist for mental illness. You are about to find out.

This video references the top authorities of mental health in the United States.

So, we have all these mental illnesses like depression, OCD, bipolar, ADHD, social anxiety disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, anorexia, and the list goes on.

So, we prescribe all these drugs to people that are diagnosed with one or more of these mental disorders. Like antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin.

SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance.

Medications like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Dexedrine, Strattera, Focalin and Metadata for ADHD. All have undesirable side effects and can damage a person’s organs.

Often extreme states of mind like schizophrenia are drugged with antipsychotic medications such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon, Haldol, Thorazine, Stelazine and Clozaril. All of these drugs are used to control symptoms only. They are not cure for mental disorders. They all have an unknown mechanism of action. Some have side effects and adverse events that can cause permanent neurological damage, movement disorders, diabetes, weight gain, impaired cognitive functioning.
