Bipolar nation

[kitty125]

So lately I've been reading a lot about the increasingly popular bipolar disorder. Ten years ago I had never even heard of such a thing but was later diagnosed with it when I was 17. Now it seems half of the people I get around have also been diagnosed with it. I read the article of the man that stabbed his girlfriend in front of their daughter,and it got me thinking. Why does it seem so many people are diagnosed with this disorder? To me it seems like an epidemic because more and more people are experiencing this mood 'rollercoaster' these days.Is it just me noticing something thats always been or more people really developing this? I remember reading somewhere that if a doctor can't figure out what's wrong with the patient mentally, they diagnose them as bipolar. Or sometimes they diagnose them just to put them on medication. I remember getting on medication a couple of times and it actually did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. It made me so irritable and angry that I would cuss my friends and family out for no reason.Needless to say I immediately discontinued the medication and never touched it again. So is the population really worse off or am I just noticing it more? The bad thing about this disorder is that it's hard to decipher the real from the fiction. Your mind sometimes tells you it's real and will actually trick you by making you see intentions or actions that aren't really there. I guess I'm kind of looking for everyone else's opinion. To get an idea of how much people really know about it and what they think.

Diet has a lot to do with this. If you have not read the diet and health section yet, you may want to check out the info on gluten , sugar, and dairy.


Also, medications affect people's brains as well.


People also do not want to deal with their negative emotions and repressed traumas, so they medicate to mask the symptoms which only makes things worse.


There is a lot of information here in the forum and also on sott.net that covers these topics quite well. Also, you may want to check into how the allopathic medical schools are funded by big pharma and other nefarious groups, and beneficial wholistic remedies are suppressed.


You may also want to read the following article on transmarginal inhibition as well, as a weakened human offers little resistance to the PTB
and be more easily controlled:

The link you posted was very interesting. I'll have to check out the health section soon. So many topics and I want to read them all!Thank you for sharing this information Daenerys :)

How do others view bipolar though? The only time it's ever mentioned in the media or news is when someone commits a murder or such.Seeing stuff like this,when you hear someone has this disorder,do you feel nervous around them? Just kind of wondering how educated people are on it and if they view that person as dangerous or something. I've lost a friend because they would compare me to the murderers they saw on tv or read about. I know they weren't really a friend to do that and I'm curious on how they saw me. Maybe this isn't the place to find out because everyone on here seems pretty educated and actually uses their brains.It's such a refreshing change to what I'm used to.

Each situation and person is different. The law of three applies- there is good, there is bad, and there is the exact situation that determines the difference. Most everyone here knows and understand the causes related to diet, medications, etc, and also different types of pathology and their manifestations. As the C's say- knowledge protects, ignorance endangers.


Psychopathy is the big problem , not bi polar disorder. The fact that psychopaths rule the world is what creates all of these other issues. If you have not had a chance to read Political Ponerology, you may want to check it out. Also, there is a lot of useful information here on the forum in regards to psychopathy.


Have you read The Wave and Adventures with Cassiopaea yet? They are available for free online, would give you deeper insights. They are also a basis around which this forum is built. They can be found at www.cassiopaea.org

I have a friend in FB who is bi-polar, she is a poet. She is a very good person and very creative. In fact she is one of the best poets I ever read in my life. Her poems are extraordinary and very hard. You can communicate with her, talk normally with her, she is in fact very normal. I think that bi-polar has to do with moods, one day you feel good the other day you feel bad? People like to put names just because now everyone is bi-polar. I know another very known poet that suffered from bi-polarity, Alexandra Pizarnik. And maybe Virginia Woolf was bi-polar also.

Diet, meditation and creativity. People today are very stressed and they don't know, under my humble point of view, how to deal with. For my proper experience, before I started the diet of low carb, I was always or very depressed, or very high and sometimes I asked myself if I was maybe bi-polar! Since I changed my diet my mood has become more normal, so I really think the problem in our society is the food we eat, physically and mentally.

I wish you will find answers here, in this forum. :)

I think the rise of Bi-polar diagnosis rates over the past 15 years or so in the US has to do with the following factors:

- Like loreta mentioned the population experiencing increased stress and poor diet that also goes along with what Daenerys said about negative emotions and trauma. My view though is that people are not given the tools or the chance to deal with these properly. I think they want to feel better and deal with their issues and the system is just set up to fail them by making it easy for someone to say you can feel better if you just take this pill.

- Like Daenerys mentioned the rise of bigger more influential for profit medical and drug industry where doctors or more than willing to make the diagnosis and put someone on drugs. My experience in relation to bi-polar is that I was given a diagnosis of it with very little talk about it and no feedback on why the doctors felt it was the proper diagnosis with placing me on a number of medications all at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I had some major issues at the time I just think I was hurt later on and led to even more problems with all the medicine I was taking and doctors making many assumptions.

- The rise and spread of wireless communication to include wifi and cell phones. This has exploded over the last 15 years and right along with it the increase of bi-polar and depression diagnosis. There isn't much on the web or books that I have found yet that makes this connection (there are some places that mention a connection to depression), but I think this is a hidden factor. When you look at how cell phone and other sources of electromagnetic radiation affect the brain, I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say that it is a factor if not a big factor. Currently researching this topic (bought a number of book on the topic to include 'Cross Currents' by Robert Becker)
