Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness characterized by alternating episodes of mania (aggressive, elevated mood, decreased sleep, grandiosity), hypomania (milder version of mania), and depression (persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue), with periods of normal mood in between. The condition is primarily genetic and involves neurotransmitter imbalances (dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, norepinephrine) rather than structural brain damage. Diagnosis requires at least one week of abnormal elevated/irritable mood plus three or more symptoms including grandiosity, reduced sleep, talkativeness, flight of ideas, distractability, increased activity, and risky behaviors. Treatment focuses on mood stabilization using medications like lithium, valproate, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine, which work by regulating neurotransmitter levels to prevent relapse and manage symptoms.

You can know someone has bipolar disorder by checking if it is the cluster one whereby you have mania aggressiveness strength wanting to fight everyone at cluster one that one you check on you check on 2 weeks period if this person has that character and you check if this person fells into depression for 2 weeks And I'm not taking the normal aggressiveness, hyperactivity, everything. You know, people that become so aggressive, they want to fight someone, they want to do that way. And then after that, this person just becomes depressed. H Johnny be good.

Cannot give you what? Bipolar. You you get my friends? So we we don't talk about stress.
I have to to say be blessed because God blesses. You know when I sing when I usually sing blessed are the ones that give than the ones that take it. You know it has a meaning. I I usually sing that China Simba is in the house.
Welcome China. Today people have decided to spell the doctor on the chat the ones that take it. So there was a question in the chat in the chat that about uh stress. So if you are genetically having this the gene of giving you of giving you let me say bipolar you will have it when you are stressed it can aggregiate it stressed but you cannot get it if you are not having that gene. We saw it's genetic but it's still under observation. the seretronine the neurotransmitters they are still under observation. So our friend forgiveness is underated it is not it is not genetic it is not given by stress if a person is bipolar it can only increase the episode of mana or hypomomania if you are already bipolar but you cannot get bipolar by being stressed up if you don't have bipolar. Yes. very much blessed everyone. Let's talk to the someone had asked on my email name the faces of bipolar disorders. The faces of bipolar disorders are hypomomania whereby you have reduced you have reduced uh activity. H you are aggressive but not like a bipolar person. And you know now let me tell you this guys when a person is bipolar there are some things that will not change. A bipolar person will always be doing impulse buying. You can be buying clothes every time.
Or those people that are sexually hyperactive. They can be into that for long.
Or those people that love doing playing games. A bipolar person can always be playing games. So it you have a certain character that is coming out every time, but you will always have I'm feeling soup today. I'm feeling for soup today.
So I'm going to the store to buy stuff.
Thanks. Thanks. Uh thanks Johnny. Be good for what you have done. Be blessed.
And uh always uh be blessed and always be blessed. Even the coffee cakes, my friend. Always be blessed. Now those are same characters that a person will always have.
There are some people who like to cleanliness.
A bipolar person you go to the house it is always neat and clean. No dirt that anywhere. If anything small goes on the table it is polished.
But you will notice that sometimes this person is hyper with a lot of energy saddling everyone and wants to fight everyone. How are the symptoms controlled? Now symptoms of uh bipolar are controlled. Wow guys today Leila. Wow. Wow. Wow. Can we see you cry now?

Let me tell you one thing before I continue with the topic.
Let me tell you one thing my friends.
Uh when you you want to to remove your stress, do something that you love. When you want to get away from negativity, do something that you love.
I always think when someone has tested me, when I'm getting things, let me reply to this.
When someone has done something to me, you'll always or when things are being stressed up sometime, you'll always find me in my office here in this office.
There was a time I was with Jamaican uncle in this office. I hope you have watched video of me and Jamaican uncle in this office.

Now we were talking about uh the coffee cakes had asked thank you a lot for your I I can't say it again coffee had asked a question on how is it controlled now how to control blessing to all gifts mama I am mama four you see how things happen my friends love me and they I I I think they they thought today doctor needs something to to to drink like water.
Just a minute.
Uh so um because bipolar is neurotransmitter and neurotransmitters are chemicals that the brain release then you get hyperactive like dopamine.
So how we can control bipolar is by only giving drugs that can suppress or can increase the the the the the neurotransmitters or tea from a long island. Okay, okay my friends today today my friends are feeling and they are happy. Dr. Ben and the chat greetings my big sister is here. Ah sh travels sh travels do you know what is happening today people have decided hey to show um in the back people have decided to show me we love you and I accept they love me yes yes yes uh the coffee cakes let me tell you how we can control uh this bipolar disord orders we can control by giving some drugs that can stabilize the mood like very like you you told me someone was taking lithium on a chat when we started. Yes, lithium is a mood stabilizers effective for money.
No worries my sister. No worries my sister. I know you are here always. We love you. We love you so much. They control mood mostly the hypomomania I want you to play a song Dr. Benjamin by Junior Blaze. Fade away.
Okay, before I finish, before I finish, you know, it's not feel good. It's not feel good Friday, but uh let me see. Let me see. This is Junior Bless Fed away.
Yes, I I have to play. I I now have to play. Before I finish, I'll play that song. Let me open my my DJ practice.

Uh feel good Friday is the day where we we we sing and dance. But today uh people have decided it's another day.

>> If your belly looks like this, >> let me see if it is this one. Let me see if it is this one. Uh I think it's that one. It's that one.
I'll play it before we end the session.
So uh I was answering my friend my friend who is called my friend who is called coffee cakes.
Coffee cakes you can control by taking medication like when mood is so high someone is so aggra play when you are finished I don't want to get any strike thanks thanks thanks I know how to play them don't worry so this person becomes so aggressive so fighting and then you give lithium it stabilizes but now the problem is you need to be taking blood pressure checkups blood pressure checkups So that uh you you don't have a striking blood pressure because they they strike blood pressures. Valpoid for people who converse for validate sodium valoid kabamine lamog fuetine and we have some very many drugs. You know what they do? They just uh stabilize the mood by bringing down dopamine, increasing a bit serotonin, you see? And also making someone not to be aggressive so much. You get this?
This is how we control bipolar. What does the lithium do? That is a very good question. Lithium is a mood stabilizer.
Just a minute.
Okay.
Wa. Wang lady. Wang lady. Wang lady is here. Wa lady. Ah.
What? Where has this gone?
Why is this corner cornering?
Why is the the the system is corner cornering? Corner cornering. Where is Yes, this one. So hi Mumba, how is the going Mumba? Hope you are doing good and smiling right now. Now lithium is a mood stabilizer. It works on the neurotransmitters.
You get it works on the neurotransmitters by stabilizing them. If it is dopamine has come so high, it reduces it. If serotenine is so low, it activates the release. That is how lithium works. Look at it works by playing around with your neuros neurotransmitters. Miriam, welcome. Wang lady is here. Wang lady, thanks for tuning in. And it prevents relapse for long. How it works is that it plays around with serotonin, dopamine and uh glutamate. You know when you you have a lot of dopamine coming out you are you can if you like buying things you will reward yourself by buying things impulsive impulsive buying things everywhere impulsive. But when it is low, you will not feel like the the the the the feeling of pleasure will not be there. Serotonin is a mood regulator.
When it is down and take lithium, it releases more serotonin in your brain and the mood comes out normal. You get exitation versus calm signaling in the GABA stabilizes. I think a coffee cakes, you've seen how it works. It plays in the neurotransmitters like GABA and remember neuro GABA comes from prefrontal cortex and that is where it is you get if someone is overactive. If someone is overactive what we usually do we give some sedatives like dazip benzoazip so that this person can calm down.
So you see so there are some things like let's talk about name faces of bipolar faces of bipolar there are some faces of bipolar like hypomomania face manic face when someone is aggressive that one is called manic face and not controllably and we said this is a person who need to be in the hospital where he is admitted for control because if to leave this person to the social social community. This person can either harm himself, herself or harm others. So it's important this person to be a place where this person is monitored when he is undergoing manic phase. We have hypomomania when the mood is low.
You are having bipolar but you are not aggressive. You get you can of of course interact in bipolar way by being uh you see but manic face sometimes it comes with psychosis.
Someone who is having manic can come with psychosis.
You get but most of the people who are not bipolar who are hypomomania it doesn't come with psychosis. That one we we talked about hypomomania can can be at least hypomomania can be at least less than 6 months but you see mana can go up to more than 2 years. Aggressiveness if not treated and then we have the mixed phase where it is called cyloic. You have a bit of hypo and you get reduced hypo plus depression plus depression.
Remission into episode faces where you are normal. Remission in episode where you are normal. You see that one he talked about list symptoms of mania.
Someone asked me if you have a question my guys and you are here don't fail to ask any question. Let's interact. I can see. Let me welcome everyone in the chat. Wanga lady, Wanga lady is here.
Coffee cakes always my friend. Johnny be good always here. On always here. Leela, he told me not to.
She told me not to call out her name.
Let me just say Leela. Forgiveness is underrated. Is here today. Welcome so much. What are the brain parts that bipolar mainly affect? Now this is the problem.
Now forgiveness is underrated.
Brain is normal. This one is not like this one is not like neuro. You know how we talked about autism and uh autism and the other one which is called ADHD. Those are neurode development. There are areas of the brain that are affected. But in in bipolar the brain is okay.
The only thing that we know there is an imbalance of meters but it is not proven. So it is under when I started that's what I started talking about.
This is a mood problem. Mood problem. The brain is not affected at all. The brain is okay. But the only problem we know is the release of neurotransmissions.
The release of neurotransmissions. Yes, there is no mutation here in this in in in bipolar. There is no mutation.
mutation is in the in ADHD and the ones that we talked about the neuro gener the neuro degeneration process you remember autism ADHD this one is mood but the only thing we know it affects how your nerves are releasing some hormones and um neuro chemicals like dopamine, like serotenil.
So the brain is okay.
But now what I I want you to know the the this is under investigation.
A person with bipolar disorder, the brain has no problem.
But we deal with the release of the neurochemicals, the dopamine, the glutamate, the neuro that one. I think forgiveness is underrated. When you have some time, start from the video that we started. You'll learn a lot about how we talked symptoms of mana.
Mania now the aggressiveness. How do you know that this person has mana? Someone has told me, please tell me about the symptoms of mana.
These are the symptoms of mana elevated mood Johnny good on has not seen this on has not seen on is still somewhere we know where on is I think it's a bit late right now it's a bit late now the symptoms of mana the aggressive aggressiveness elevated mood irritability excessive talking I think you have met this once in a while. Anyone has met this a graduity, increased energy. This this is a person when he's starting to be aggressive, a security guards can come like 10 to pin this person down.
You get distractability, risky behaviors, you know, the risky behaviors like wanting to fight everyone, getting into things that can harm this person. Fight of ideas, flight of ideas, grandiosity.
If this person is not aggressive, this person can sit you down and want to tell you how he wants to to to build uh Trump's tower in two weeks. H and you have to listen.
If you don't listen, this person will follow you where you are going to tell you how he wants to to to build Trump's tower in a in a sitting of two weeks. H so um there are some things that are very you understanding is very so we we said you should not confuse a person who is agitated by someone by mana. Mana is a period of two weeks with at least one episode. You know, someone cannot be just always rowdy continuously like this week you want to fight this one, next week you want to fight another one or in a week you want to fight like two people and you are having elevated moods.
So if you continue like that and people notices you go to to a doctor a psychiatrist he will grade you and he'll say this one is undergoing mana which is a bipolar disorder h you see so that is when I talk about mana the aggressiveness that is what I'm talking about elevated mood excessive talking reduced need to sleep you know people with bipolar most of them don't sleep. They they have no sleep. You get welcome guys. Welcome guys. I can see new people in the house. Welcome.

So if you are watching me and you're new person please let me see from the chats that you are new just say hi I'm here from the US I'm here from Africa and we interact how do you know that a person has depression that is a question that has been asked severally in the chat in my email and as we talk how do you know that a person has depression persistent sadness loss of interest in some things.
Even some people can lose interest in taking a bath. Eating. There are some people when they have depression, they can eat a lot. Some don't have interest in eating. Fatigue because your brain uses a lot of energy. You feel tired of every time you feel you are down and tired. You get poor concentration. You cannot concentrate. You yourself you cannot concentrate because you are thinking you are your brain is somewhere else. Feeling of guilt.
Why am I depressed? Why did this happen?

And suicidal thoughts. If a person gets to suicidal thoughts know that this person has become he has got something called major depressive disorder and a person uh depression is uncleared thoughts.
Yes. And a person who has suicidal thoughts will not tell anyone that I want I feel like committing suicide.

Yes, I studied boys high school.
So if you are traveling at Vhiga, say hi to my people there. Vhiga High School.
Yes, that was my high school some days, some years ago. So suicidal thoughts you get.
Ask questions. If you here you feel you want to ask any question, please ask.
How do we know that this now this is mana?
How do we diagonize A person who has mana episode in bipolar abnormal elevated and irritable mood last one week. You see at least for one week having these problems you get for one week. Imagine hello cute Jessie people are welcoming you as you plan to go to Viga tomorrow. As you plan to go to Vhiga tomorrow.
So um one week of abnormaless, aggressiveness, no settling, no sleeping plus a three of the following. If you are aggressive and you are not settling, you are always aggressive and you are not you see h plus three of grandiosity, reduced sleep. Grandma of three is the house.
Grandma of three is in the house. Let those likes and claps go. Oh, grandpa of three is in the house.
Is in the house. All that are in the house and supporting me. Be blessed, my guys. Be blessed, my guys. I told you we are going to grow and grow and grow. And guys, Okumba has a channel. Those that know what to do, let's check it out their channel on my friends. Let's check all the channels of my friends. H. So I'm going to say listen grandiosity reduced sleep talkiveness flight of ideas you you are filled with many many ideas you want to do this you want to do this you get someone will ask me what is grandiosity grandiosity is exaggerated belief a person is unusual important, powerful, talented, intelligent or special beyond reality. Have you ever met people that always feel they are very special and they are talented? They see beyond the world. They can do things that man cannot do. That is grandiosity. Someone may ask what is grandiosity? So if you talk to this person, this person tells you, you know, I can create a a ship that can fly up to the world of the aliens. H grandiosity, reduced sleep, talkiveness, always talking, flight ideas, distractability, increased activity and risky behaviors.
So if one has elevated mood, irritable mood, abnormal, not the normal one, you just notice this person is behaving in a very aggressive way which is abnormal. Plus has is is talking about issues that are not normal plus reduced sleep and talkiveness. one of the three. You know that this is bipolar and the staging that this person has is called mana. It's called money. You get? So this is ask ask ask my questions my friends. Ask questions if you are lost.
If you want to understand if you are here and uh uh you you you are a new person don't keep silent. You know some people always when they go to new channel channel they don't talk. You have a channel and you have kept silent.
You have a channel and you are very silent. You don't want to ask questions.
It's not good. Interact with people.
Maybe the questions that you ask like Dr. Ben like your sister Jess.
Very true. Like Jess you come and ask questions. that question that you you you are asking someone else wanted to ask. I'm doing a shop for a customer.
Oh, okay. Grandma three. Okay. Nice one.
That question that you wanted to ask, someone wanted to ask but is afraid. So when you ask this person gets courage to ask more and we understand and we learn together and I usually say, you know, some questions make challenges even me.
So that maybe when I'm free and I'm in the library, I can read more and dig deep on the question. H so hypomomania describe stages hypomomania.
Hypomomania because you have talked about money. Let's talk about hypo. Hypo everything that you you you you hear hypo everything that you hear hypo that it is reduced or low. So hypo is increased energy.
Uh they don't want to be autoative mania.
Listen guys, listen. Uh forgiveness is underrated. He say people don't want to ask question because they they will be told they they are manic.
Forgiveness is underated you. That's a good one. You are connected with me friend that is from cute J. Now the hypomomania is increased energy, tearful overconfidence. You can do something even if you cannot do it. Mild decreased in sleep not so much. You know in mana you don't get sleep. But in hypomomania it's reduced. It's not you can sleep but not normal. Functionally still preferred preserved functioning. Normal functioning like being with people, talking, relating normally is pre is is preserved. That one is there. But when it comes to manic mania, hey, that one you cannot stay around people because you are always aggressive here and there. You get hi. You are always aggressive.
Now let's talk take about acute money.
acute marked by hyperactive aggression, excessive speech, poor judgment and social and occupational dysfunction. So if you are bipolar and you have mana, the hyperactiveness, you cannot stay around people. People will notice this one can harm anyone can harm anyone anytime. You get people will say that this one can harm anyone any time. You get acute mana social and occupational dysfunction.
Now dissolution and psychotic mana is whereby you are aggressing and now you have become psychotic. You start hallucinating severe agitation loss of reality. This word now needs to go to a psych world to be preserved there so that this person cannot harm anyone.
You get delusions and and grander and grander on your own world.
A bipolar person can be manic until this person becomes something else. He he or she is in his own world doing some things that you don't understand.
You understand that loss of reality. I think people now are appreciating if you see Oh, Christopher the general my brother. Greetings to you from Canada.
Hey, welcome bro. Big up all the time Christopher. Thank you for tuning in.
Today we are it's a live session and um I'm having all my brothers and sisters here guys. Welcome Christopher the general. You see Christopher is that one who says this is blue, this is white and that one is red. If you try to tell Christopher this is white and it is blue tell you no man. No hiding the truth.
This is Welcome big man from Canada. From Canada right out of Canada. Thanks a lot for tuning in. Thanks a lot for tuning in.
Uh my brother here I can see Sha travels giving him some flowers and says watching from the television sh thanks a lot big where you are. So you see now I think now people are appreciating when you see a person is bipolar just know neurotransmitters and neurochemicals in the brain that are not okay. Someone asked one thing. Why are those people that got get coma when they wake up they are confused? It's because of the neurotransmitters. When they are at stale they are not. I'm home now. Dr. Ben Johnny be good. Thank you so much.
And thank you so much for your here. We call it chai. When someone gives you something small and tells you, bro, take water. We call it chai tea. So, thanks a lot. Thanks a lot for your your tea. Uh now I was saying when people are in a coma and then they they do what they wake up you will find these people become they have a period of confusion. It is because the neurotransmitters like dopamine serotonin who are sleeping and they have not come back to the normal state to bring back memory. So that is what also happens in bipolar.
Neurotransmitters have a problem.
So either they are released slowly or either they are released at a high rate.
You get either they are released slowly or either they are released at a high rate. So you become confused because they are the ones which stabilizes the mood. H someone asked that question uh some times back and that is uh it. So when you are delusional and you are psychotic so just know that you have I I hear some people in Kenya saying the electricity is cut in the head that's why someone is becoming psychotic now that electricity tell them people in Kenya say that is meaning electricity is cut one more song Dr. Ben it is because I am back.
Wow. Not me alone. I love music. Many people love music. I'll play. I'm just about to finish. I have like 30 minutes, 20, 30 minutes. So that is it. It's because the neurotransmitters are down and they cannot connect in a good way.
They cannot connect in a good way. The neurotransmitters, the dopamine, glutamate, epinephrine, norepinephrine and serotonin are the ones which make you feel you are stable.
It's like a TV that is unplugged from the electricity that TV goes off or when the power is so low you'll see that images that are shaky shaky. So the let's say the current the current that we have in our brain are those I'm just about to start now. What is psychotheric disorder? H blue Monslayer. Hey good news. I have 125 subs. Yeah. Bluey I told you to WhatsApp me so that I link you up with ABCD. You haven't. I've not seen your text up to now. Big up your nice clean self. Yes, Bloody. Come on. I want you to grow in our so fast. I've not seen your text.
Text me on WhatsApp. Text me on WhatsApp. So, let me take some questions before I log out. I've spoken like 1 hour right now. Hi, Blue. Blue. uh please text take text take so that I can uh I can link you up with some some uh that will make you step on step on step on step on step on explain mixed effective episode agitation sadness raising thoughts all those mana hypomomania all those those are mixed effective episodes duration of period um someone is asking about period on the female. So mania is more than 7 days or 7 days.
Hypomomania is less more than 4 days or 4 days. Depression 2 weeks depression 2 weeks. Pathophysiology of bipolar disorder.
Hey bipolar disorder.
This one should be a medic. The one who has asked me give me the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. Imagine that even medics watch me they feel nice doctors listen to that question. Dr. can you please give me the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder that is just asking Dr. can you tell me how bipolar comes around? What happens in the brain the and then ah Betty Betty is here guys. Betty is here. Hi Betty. Dr. Ben, what are the treatment? Don't be greedy.
What are the treatment? Oh, treatment of bipolar by medication. I I already talked about treatment by giving drugs like lithium. I I'll talk about them again. Don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't corner relax in the house. Yes. So let me give these doctors the path of physiology dopamine serotenine and epipophrine imbalance. So in dopamine if it is mania it increases during mana.
Dopamine serotenine reduces during depression and norepinephrine gets an imbalance. So that you start when these things are like that you drugs that not encouraging better.
Drugs are not encouraging. But what can we do? We loot the drug so that someone can be stable. Someone can always be stable. There is no dysfunction in brain areas controlling such as prefontal cortex or lyic system. Ain kam doctor I eat onion every day. What is the benefit of it? Onion abina. Abina you are a new guy here.
