Bipolar Disorder is a name given
to a behavior pattern.

I can think of at least 5 different
reasons why one would have this
pattern.

So what should we do?

Find the source of your personal
experience.

The behaviour pattern is no longer
a disorder if it doesn't interfer with
the productivity of your life.

No, I don't have anything backwards.

Just because you had it in the past, doesn't AT ALL mean
it's permanent. In fact, some psychological abberations
are simply "outgrown" with maturity. In the case of bipolar
behaviour, it occured for a reason, and it can unoccur for
a reason.

Bipolar isn't a noun, it's a verb.

Maybe but still very similar. Some problems are just more
readily apparent, that's all. Resolutions have to be sought
out. Like...divorce. Lol.

Sorry to butt in -- i've been following this. If only Mark had all
the cards.
No, it can't be easily reversed even if it is only occasional during a
lifetime.
Emil Kraepelin (the pioneer of modern psychiatry) observed the
fluctuation
of manic-depression through many people's lives. Some got better,
some
got worse with age and all had intermittent episodes.

The problem now, is that once you are on meds for bp or any disorder
for
that matter, you cannot be taken off without *that* disorder returning
(timing
is everythin) or some other disorder caused by drug withdrawal, which
can be worse or fatal.

LOL! What gene? Site reference.

Do hearing aids cure deafness? no. Surgery might
Do medicines cure manic depression. no. Antibiotics might,
just depends on why you have this behavioral trait.

It became onset at some point. It can become offset.

First of all, Hello Erin. ;)

Heh, I never said it was gonna be easy.

I'd have to know more about the test group.

Now wait a minute. Psychotrophic drugs only sedate and mask.
They are the proverbial smoke on the beehive. They don't even
begin to address what the cause is, which to this day is officially
designated as unknown, with some theoretical genetic mumbo
jumbo listed as a probablility, which by the way, is the official
answer for several other unexplained abnormalities.

Post traumatic shock coupled with a narcissistic
personality disorder will give you bipolar every time.

Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria, which is transmitted thru
tick bites and is the cause of Lyme disease, which by
the way is right now the number one infectious epidemic
in the WORLD (more than aids), causes a neurological
degeneration and personality shift which is textbook
bipolar.

There are MANY OTHERS.

The medical community is ignorant and conforms to
generalized theories which satisfy insurance companies
and family members.

> or some other disorder caused by drug withdrawal, which

Well sure Erin, but isn't this just a logistical problem that
is mitigated by titration and proper weaning?

Yes I know. In fact not only do people discuss a cure,
they don't even prove a cause. Well, that's just not good
enough for me.

I have multiple reasons for believing this. I can speak
from my own life experience for one. Or I can discuss
many plausable and reasonable medical and
psychological aspects to this pathology. I see things
from a perspective that most people don't.

Honestly? It would run contrary to scientific method
to exclude divine intervention too. If you doubt me,
look up Einstein's and other famous scientist's and
doctor's writings on this.

Of course you can. People outgrow autism all the time.
People even outgrow schizophrenia. Don't you think you
can't do the same for manic depression?

Look at Sally Fields. Look at Buzz Aldrin.
Look at me. Tons of people outgrow bipolar disorder.

I agree that there are many causes which lead to mania and depression
and
that these causes may be external. In such cases recovery is
possible.
As for the genetic mumbo jumbo -- i am not a biologist. But even
before
the discovery of DNA, Hippocrates and many ancients, described the
symptoms of manic depression to a *t*. So, they knew about mental
illness
then, and did all kinds of strange things to treat depression. Just
do a search
on the history of psychiatry.

As for titrating a drug that may have changed the chemical or
functional
state of the brain-- well i guess we need a brain mechanic. With some
drugs
it can be done. Variables such as time taken, dose, state of the
brain, age,
and of course most importantly the drug, play a role. To give you an
example,
some heroin addicts once successfully withdrawn, cannot just recover
back
to their pre-heroin addiction state, but must take a substitute drug
for the
rest of their lives. This is a secondary problem in pharmacological
treatment.

No single gene stood out in the DNA studies. The genes identified by
McMahon's team were only modestly linked to bipolar disorder.

"These data suggest that bipolar disorder is ... influenced by many
genes, each of small effect," write McMahon and colleagues in
Molecular Psychiatry's online edition.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Despite an intensive effort,
researchers have yet to identify the genes that cause bipolar
disorder, yet the practical benefits of such a discovery could reap
rich rewards for those suffering from the mental illness.

http://www.mcmanweb.com/article-216.htm

"The quest for the genetic cause or causes of depression and bipolar
disorder represents a virtual scientific Boulevard of Broken Dreams
thus far..."

"The authors of that study argued that genetic research trying to link
genes to illness has not proven fruitful for complex psychiatric
disorders. Instead, they have pursued a different line of enquiry
based on the interactions between genes and environment, which assumes
some genetic variants are more resistant to environmental stressors
than others and which can be uncovered in part by measuring the
effects of these stressors."

"The search is further confounded by the fact that unlike say
diabetes, a mood disorder leaves no discernible biological footprint
equivalent to blood glucose."

Is the question of a genetic link relevant to treatment for bipolar
symptoms?
Even if genes were found for mental disorders, as for cancer for

how would that improve our ability to treat disease?

Yes you are correct.

In fact, I'm saying that all causes are/were external
for the most part, and only nurtured to an extent
by the predisposed personality type. This can be
fixed.

Well of course this is true. We're moving away from the topic
of DNA and addressing the issue of whether humans have been
the same for say...the last 30 thousand years, and I say YES.

Not only that, but you also have bipolar cats and dogs and
monkeys and birds.

It's a brain/psychological/biochemical/life experience vector.

Anyone can detox and titrate off a drug, but I'm not
advocating that. Some medicines are good "helpers"
and fit nicely into the healing equation.

At least I think getting off drugs is dangerous. I know this from
personal experience and testimonials from support groups,
e.g. benzo.org. Titrating is a tricky proposition and doctors
are not addiction specialists. Then, there is the risk that one
has been wrong about the illness not returning, and the
effects of removing a medication one has been habituated to
for a long time.

Well, yes, because we control and manipulate our genes
by how we live. The big lie that must be recognized here
is that we are not trapped by a predetermined fate! We
are not prisoners unless we believe ourselves to be so.

Therefore, if you put all the emphesis on the genetic link,
(which isn't real) then you give up. The similarities of
genetic pecularities found in bipolar groups, *is more a
result of the similarities of how they live and think* which
in turn causes the genetic pattern.

Not the other way around. So yes, our treatment for
bipolar symptoms does not hinge around genetic
theories.


> Even if genes were found for mental disorders, as for cancer for

Look, I know what people are wishing for. There are
clinicians and sick people looking for the "magic bullet".
They're hoping that someone will be able to find a
GENE SPLICE and cure them in 10 minutes. And,
there are people hoping to INVENT and PATENT such
a thing and become a billionaire.

It just doesn't work that way. If some people were made
well today by the touch of a hand, in 5 years they would
be bipolar again.

So I say, look at the formulation of one's personality
as an infant. Look at the interaction of the parental
child bond for your first 20 years. Check one's blood
for pathogens. Look at your lifestyle now with regard
to nutrition and substance abuse. Search your heart
and soul for faith in something greater. Find OPTIMISM.
Find medicine that works to steer you, not fog you.

This is a start.

Yes, getting off lifelong drugs is dangerous and takes
very professional expert guidance. But like I said, some
medicines are very helpful, ie, lithium, prozac and should
be continued. Heroin, Cocaine, etc., NO.

I'm not going to argue with you. I didn't confirm
your article. The gene issue isn't definitive by
any means. I've already explained that your
behaviour shapes your genetics.

Furthermore, people just want to say, "OH, I can't
help myself cause my GEEEENES make me this
way! WAAAAH!"

Is that really what you want? An excuse to throw
in the towel? An excuse to use alcohol, cigarettes,

a hedonist, and then blame your shitty mental state

Whatever.

See, along the line of genetics, I've developed this
perspective of intergenerational "curses" you might
say. It's where something nasty gets passed down from
parent to child for centuries.

But look, the way we act, think, interrelate, eat, smoke,
drink, pray, have sex, talk and listen, everything that
defines and describes us also shapes our biochemistry.

Disfunction begets disfunction! And, disfunction can be
passed down to an infant, and then reinforced totally by
the infant's early experiences of parental dysfunctional
interaction, and then family evils.

This fellow,
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/control-lifestyle-genes/

he shows a graphic of what I mean.

So, if you want new genes, you gotta make them
yourself. If you want new Jeans then you don't have
to make them unless you want to.

Yes, or simply put, some *personalities*, especially
"artistic" types, seem to have this propensity, yet
I'm saying the *pathology* draws it's origins from a
psychological/developmental experience normally,
or from a_bacterial_ infection which attacks one's
neurology and immune system, or...from brain damage
sustained in an accident. There IS a REAL reason
for the behavioral pattern known as bipolar disorder
and I do not think genetics is the predominant factor.

No, I'm not saying that unlearning the bipolar cycling trait
is easy at all. I'm saying that a personal discovery of one's
own causality is the beginning. From that point your path
of healing can be strategized. I believe prayer IS involved.
Medication is important. Psychotherapy is needed.
Nutritional discipline is necessary. I'm not even ruling out
hypnosis. Most important is to remove the suffering person
from the stressor environment!

Ok, now we are in agreement here, except I'm saying that once
a person finally goes *years* without becoming manic or severely
depressed, then they will finally train their body to finding balance.
They might still be "artistic" or tempermental, but that's a far cry
from being locked away in an institution or dead.

So at what point do we stop calling them afflicted with bipolar?

I'd say when their life is as normal as anyone else, who
also undergoes the ups and downs of reality, yet is able to
recover after a day or two to manage one's affairs. No?

Life is what you make of it, in spite of injustice.

Well Mark, no offense, but I'm not going to trash years of research
and
observation in the medical literature, for Everyman's opinion. You
say
there is A reason, but show no evidence or reference to the spurious
infection -- infections of all kinds can make people crazy in many
ways-
that's vague.

Well Erin, we haven't gotten that far into the
conversation or examination of exactly what
I'm saying. Also you speak of *years* of medical
literature. And all for what? To get a great big, "We
DUNNO." It's all been a theroetical guess fueled
by various motivations.

Let's look at 1 particular infection. It is the largest
growing infectious disease in the WORLD! Larger
than AIDS. A worldwide pandemic! Worse than
Swine flu. Before I tell you which bacteria, let me
give you some symptoms:

Decreased frustration tolerance. (This is magnified by the increased
frustration caused by a chronic illness).

Decreased impulse control.

When mild, the combination of decreased frustration tolerance and
decreased impulse control leads to irritability. When more extreme,
this combination can result in explosive anger.

Hyposexuality and hypersexuality caused by LD, both of which cause
increased interpersonal frustration.

Dysfunction causing different forms of obsessive compulsive disorder,
which results in intrusive thoughts, images, and compulsions that
sometimes are of an aggressive nature.

Some dysfunction results in a decreased bonding capacity.

Increased startle reflex - particularly increased acoustic startle.

Hypervigilance and paranoia.

Delusions and hallucinations.

Some patients acquire impairment in their ability to regulate the
arousal level of an emotion. As a result, emotions such as anger may
be all or none, excessively intense, and not proportionate to the
current situation. This also leads to a decline in the ability to
integrate concurrent emotions that exist either within the patient or
in a relationship with another person. This symptom may in turn
intensify other psychiatric syndromes such as post-traumatic stress
disorder, dissociative disorders, borderline personality, and
narcissistic personality disorders.

Ok? This is a BACTERIA.

Yeah, i've heard of that -- infact Kraepelin had colleagues who
considered
bacteria as causes, among many other possibilities, e.g. thyroid,
brain
damage, but mostly heredity. I wouldn't mind seeing a site on this if
you know
of a good one.

No, bp is very physical - a brain scan shows the changes.
Personality disorders are not so dramatic and abrupt.

Ah, but which came first, the chicken or the
egg?

Did the variations in brain activity and detriment
cause the personality abnormality, or did the
illness cause the irregular brain scan?

Hm, I wonder?

Any category of consideration is first
examined by numerous analytical individuals,
then upon emperical extrapolation a verifiable
criterion is outlined. This is how rationality works.

This process is used in all walks of life.
