Send us a textThe fog lifts momentarily, only to descend again. The lightning that fuels creativity brings thunder in its wake. This is the reality for millions living with bipolar disorder – not just mood swings, but profound shifts that can transform daily functioning into heroic acts of survival.Bipolar disorder remains one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions, carrying heavy stigma despite affecting countless lives. Through Jonah's powerful story, we witness the journey from despair to diagnosis, from isolation to community, from suffering to managing. His experience mirrors what many face: the electric highs of mania with its decreased need for sleep and grandiose thinking, followed by crushing depressive episodes that can last weeks.We carefully distinguish between bipolar I with its full manic episodes requiring hospitalization, and bipolar II with its less severe hypomanic states. The cycling between these poles creates a uniquely challenging experience that impacts relationships, work, and self-perception. What many don't realize is how frequently childhood trauma correlates with bipolar disorder development, as adverse experiences literally reshape developing brains and stress response systems.Treatment offers real hope – medication like mood stabilizers remains the cornerstone, while therapy provides essential coping strategies. Yet perhaps the greatest challenge lies in medication compliance, as feeling better often leads to abandoning treatment. For loved ones supporting someone with bipolar disorder, understanding this pattern becomes crucial, as does recognizing that people with this condition often have limited insight into their symptoms.Recovery doesn't mean cured – it means stable, self-aware, and equipped with tools to navigate life's challenges. Some of the most creative, resilient people manage this condition daily, finding strength through their struggles. Whether you're personally affected or supporting someone on this journey, remember this truth: bipolar disorder is part of someone's story, not their entire identity.Reach out for help if these conversations resonate with you. Through proper diagnosis, consistent treatment, and compassionate community, there is light even in the darkest storms. You are not your diagnosis. You are seen, you are known, you are heard, you are loved, and you are valuable beyond measure.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

What if a secret weapon in managing bipolar disorder isn't a new medication or a breakthrough therapy — but a brisk 20-minute walk? In this refreshingly honest and hilariously relatable episode, Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar disorder, and Dr. Nicole Washington take on the least talked about pillar of bipolar stability: lifestyle management, and more specifically, exercise. During a recent bout of depression, Gabe's doctor “tricked” him into walking daily by describing it like a miracle pill. Spoiler alert: It kind of was. At first, Gabe thought the idea sounded like a total scam — and he didn't even own sneakers. (His first walks were in Doc Martens.) But over the past year, daily walks have become part of his recovery. In this episode, Gabe opens up about what finally got him moving, why he stuck with it, and how something so simple ended up making a real difference. Dr. Nicole, a self-proclaimed workout hater, shares why she still encourages her patients — and herself — to move, even when it's the last thing they want to do. From the science behind short daily walks to the mental health benefits for people managing bipolar disorder, Gabe opens up about what finally got him moving, how it changed his mindset, and why the smallest step forward can sometimes shift everything. "When somebody first mentioned going for a walk for bipolar disorder I thought what is this new age garbage? Like, I live with a serious and persistent mental illness. Going for a walk is not going to do anything. But I gotta tell you, I was wrong. Look, I'm not saying that it cures bipolar disorder. But I can say that it helps manage my moods." ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are available directly from the author with free swag included! Among his many accolades, Gabe received an official resolution from the Governor of Ohio naming him an “Everyday Hero,” and had the distinct honor of speaking at Oxford University in England. To learn more about Gabe, or to book him for your next event, please visit his website, gabehoward.com. You can also follow him on Instagram and TikTok at @askabipolar. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

Ein Schwangerschaftsabbruch oder eine Fehlgeburt ist für viele Betroffene nicht nur eine körperliche Herausforderung, sondern vor allem auch eine seelische.

Was sagen Betroffene selbst? Welche psychischen Reaktionen sind „normal“ – und wann braucht es Hilfe?

Hair Analysis is the basis of Dr. Prather's evaluation of a patient's mental health issues, because it is the best way to measure their body's mineral levels and heavy metal toxicities.  In fact, Dr. Prather says that, if he can get a Hair Analysis on a patient, "probably 95% of the mental health issues go away".  In this episode, find out:—Why the hair reflects what is going on in the brain and in the nervous system.  And the "transformative change in people's mental health" when you "get the minerals back in Homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system".—How the most common heavy metal toxicity Dr. Prather sees is Aluminum, which "poisons the brain" and is linked to Dementia, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis, balance problems, aggressive behavior in children, ADHD, Autism, and Insomnia.—The problems caused by Lead, Mercury, and Nickel for mental health.  And why Dr. Prather says that Nickel is "even worse" than those toxicities and is always something he checks for on patients with severe upper motor neuron diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and ALS.—The CDC study that showed 65% of all children have some sort of heavy metal toxicity.  And how Dr. Prather has had "kids go from Special Ed. to Honors, just by getting their heavy metals out and balancing out their minerals".—How an imbalance in the Copper-Zinc ratio can lead to issues like Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Dementia, Depression, and Insomnia.  And how high Copper is more common in females than males. —The link between high Manganese and Bi-Polar, Parkinson's symptoms, and tremors.  And the importance of a proper Calcium-Magnesium ratio. —Why Dr. Prather says that you can do everything possible, but are "never going to get a person's mental health issues under control until you get rid of those heavy metal toxicities". —How Dr. Prather uses a gentle and natural detoxification process for heavy metal toxicities that is "much more effective" than Chelation, which can be damaging to the Kidneys and Liver and deplete the body of minerals.—Why Amish men who do woodworking are in danger of high Arsenic levels, which can cause Anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic personality, Depression, and Insomnia. —Dr. Prather's surprising discovery about the importance of low Molybdenum, which can cause fatigue, Depression, and can cause someone to become so tired that they can't even sleep.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

What happens when you spend your whole life performing at the highest level, only to realize, in midlife, that you've been quietly carrying a mental health condition that almost no one talks about? In this episode, I am joined by Jud Heugel: pediatrician, health tech CMO, father, ultra-endurance athlete, and now—mental health advocate. After years of living in silence, Jud opens up about his journey with bipolar disorder, why he kept it hidden, and what changed when he decided it was finally time to share his truth. What started as a casual chat about podcasting turned into one of the most powerful conversations this show has ever held—because Jud's story is not just about bipolar. It's about resilience, self-acceptance, and using your life experiences as fuel for something bigger.   In this episode: His early struggles during medical residency—and what led to a full mental health breakdown The misunderstood highs of hypomania and how they impacted his life and career Why he believes sports—especially endurance sports—can be a tool for healing The stigma of mental health in medicine—and the long road to acceptance How middle age has become a time of radical self-actualization for him   Jud, you're forwarding progress in all ways and it's very humbling that you chose Right in Front of My face to as your starting line to opening up about bipolar. Thank you.   You can find Jud at https://www.thebalancedathlete.org/ and Substack: The Balanced Athlete.   You can find me on Instagram @rightinfrontofmyface or send me a note at rightinfrontofmyface@gmail.com.   If this conversation hit home for you, please share it with a friend and leave a review.

Bruce Schutter returns for his third show to catch up on what's new with the Mental Health Warrior Program. After struggling with Bipolar, Alcoholism, Anxiety Disorder and PTSD for over 20+ years, I reached a breaking point where I attempted suicide. But with a second chance at life, I set out to find an answer to my life's challenges. I discovered that Mental Health is the key to triumphing over any challenge in life! Armed with this knowledge, I created the Mental Health Warrior Program, a new self-help approach for triumphing over life's challenges and building the life you really want! At the core of the Mental Health Warrior Program lies the principle of self-empowerment. With practical solutions centered on lifestyle and mindset changes, the program empowers you to respond, not react, to life's challenges, by tapping into your inner strength and resilience. Bruce Schutter (3) Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Vroom Vroom Veer Podcast Interview Jeffery and Bruce discuss their upcoming third interview together on the Vroom Vroom Veer podcast. They agree to have a natural conversation, with Jeffery mentioning he will bring up some personal developments without prior preparation. Bruce records a new introduction for the show, emphasizing his role as a Mental Health Warrior. They briefly discuss their experiences with seasonal allergies before starting the official recording. Mental Health Warrior Program Discussion Bruce shared his personal struggles with mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, alcoholism, anxiety, and PTSD, and how he found a new self-help approach called the Mental Health Warrior Program. This program focuses on putting the power back in one's hands, managing challenges, and embracing emotions. Bruce emphasized the importance of a positive approach to mental health and creating a safe space for open conversation. He also mentioned a recent presentation at a college in Pennsylvania, which was not about making money but about spreading the word about mental health. Sandbag Workouts for Mental Health Bruce discusses his involvement with Shippensburg University, where he conducts sandbag workouts for mental and physical health. He explains that these workouts are done outdoors using a single piece of equipment, allowing for engagement with people and providing full-body exercise. Bruce and his team participate in the university's health and wellness fair, helping students with their physical and mental health challenges. He emphasizes how these activities were impossible for him in the past, and now serve as proof of his progress in managing his bipolar disorder. Mind Fuel: Food and Mental Health Bruce and Jeffery discussed the concept of "Mind Fuel," a book that focuses on the connection between food and mental health. The book outlines three food rules: low carb, no sugar, and minimally processed foods. It also provides detailed information on specific foods, their mental health benefits, and creative ways to incorporate them into one's diet. The book aims to help readers maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve their mental well-being. Meditation, Diet, and Cold Water Benefits Jeffery discusses his experience with a meditation app and Tim Ferriss's book "The 4-Hour Body," focusing on the "30 and 30" concept (30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking) and the slow carb diet. He explains the diet's principles, including avoiding white carbs, eating specific proteins and beans, and having a weekly cheat day. Jeffery and Bruce also discuss the benefits of cold water exposure and reducing sugar intake for overall health and mental well-being. They agree that these approaches, along with the 80-20 rule, can lead to significant improvements in both physical and mental health.

What happens when your caregiving journey is complicated by family betrayal, mental illness, and profound loss? Meet Sheri Smith, a resilient entrepreneur whose life took unexpected turns when faced with both her mother's dementia and her husband's bipolar disorder simultaneously.Sheri's new memoir "Mama Drama: A Journey with Bipolar and Dementia, Finding Light Through Loss and Grief" chronicles her extraordinary path from running a successful catering business and owning an oceanfront castle in Hawaii to navigating the heartbreaking terrain of cognitive decline (her mother) and mental health challenges (her spouse). Her story reveals the devastating reality many caregivers face when family dynamics turn toxic—in Sheri's case, a cousin who prevented her from seeing her mother during her final days.The conversation delves into painful parallels between caring for someone with dementia and someone with untreated bipolar disorder. As Sherry candidly shares, "I made every mistake in the book because I simply didn't know better." This raw honesty about her attempts to "fix" situations beyond her control resonates deeply with anyone who has blamed themselves for not handling caregiving perfectly.Despite these enormous challenges, Sheri transformed her pain into purpose through writing. Her journey from confusion and self-blame to understanding and advocacy offers a roadmap for others navigating similar terrain. By sharing both mistakes and triumphs, she creates space for caregivers to forgive themselves and find strength even when outcomes aren't what they hoped for.Have you experienced family conflicts while caring for a loved one with dementia?

Send Me a Message! In the next chapter of My Therapy Reflections, I share a very significant IFS (Internal Family Systems) breakthrough that has reframed how I view some of my darkest moments. When life feels too loud and too bright (which is most of the time), I tend to mentally retreat, like hiding in a tunnel—a cold, dark place that where I sometimes I can sleep for days. But this session revealed something surprising: my internal parts weren't trying to trap me there like I had thought. They were waiting at the top, encouraging me to come back.Even my inner critic—the voice I've long seen as cruel and as my enemy—was there trying to help. Not to tear me down, but to shield me from a world I'm not built for. This unexpected shift helped me see that every part of me, even the ones I've battled with, have been trying to protect me in their own, unique way.I also uncovered a younger part of myself, frozen at age 15, holding trauma I hadn't accessed in years. That story continues in Part B. But in this episode, it's all about beginning to see your inner system not as broken, but as misunderstood. Maybe, like me, you'll start to feel compassion for the parts of yourself you once feared.Support the showTo support the show, CLICK HEREYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters

The safe management of non-cardiac implantable electrical devices during surgery requires careful planning and knowledge of device-specific considerations. We continue our discussion from last week with actionable recommendations for each stage of perioperative care.• Electrocautery poses significant risks including device reprogramming, thermal burns, and damage to neural tissue• Turn off devices or set to safe surgery mode before using electrocautery • Bipolar cautery is safer than monopolar; if monopolar is needed, use lowest power setting• Place grounding pads to minimize current through the device generator• Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are relatively safe while motor evoked potentials (MEPs) should be avoided• Newer devices may be MRI conditional but require specific protocols including device interrogation• Regional anesthesia should use ultrasound guidance rather than nerve stimulation techniques• Neuraxial anesthesia is not contraindicated for spinal cord stimulator patients but must be placed below insertion level• ECT can be performed with device turned off and careful electrode placement• Devices should be turned back on before emergence from anesthesia• Postoperative evaluation should include checking for thermal injuries and neurologic changesThanks for joining us for our 253rd episode!

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of doubt when every day is a battle with your own mind? In this episode, Gabe (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole (a board certified psychiatrist) cut through the BS and get real about staying on track with bipolar treatment. They dive into moments when giving up seems like the easier option and Gabe recalls a painful wake-up call from a friend who wasn't holding back their anger — a moment that ignited a drive to prove everyone wrong. Dr. Nicole breaks down why even the smallest victories, like getting out of bed or planning a future getaway, can mean everything. With no sugarcoating, they explore the raw truth behind why fighting isn't just for the dark days — it's a constant, everyday challenge. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered how to find the strength to keep moving forward when life feels overwhelming. “I did not want to lay down and die. My core philosophical values and belief systems is that this is all there is. Whatever I do with it, that's my life. That will be how I'm remembered. That is what people will see. Whatever joy or suffering or pain or happiness or success or laughter or connections, this is all there is. And if I just sit at home and do nothing, then I will just be remembered as the guy who sat at home and did nothing. And I don't want to be remembered that way.” ~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

Why is schizoaffective disorder so often overlooked — even by mental health professionals — and how does it relate to bipolar disorder? In this episode, Dr. Nicole Washington sits down with guest host Kit Wallis (aka SchizoKitzo) to discuss Kit's life managing schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. Kit shares her decade-long journey through multiple diagnoses, from cyclothymia to bipolar I, before finally receiving the correct diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Kit explains why this diagnosis finally made sense and how she educated herself on her disorder. If you've ever wondered about the blurry lines between bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder — or just want to hear a powerful story of self-advocacy — this episode is for you. Cold Open Transcript:  Dr. Nicole: Some people will tell me that their voices are not all bad, and they don't necessarily want to get rid of them. Kit: Oh, man. That's a can of worms. That is a can of worms. When I was telling my psychiatrist that I was experiencing religious delusions, and I went on antipsychotics to get rid of the god who hated me, but not necessarily for the voices who helped me so much. I ended up losing the others and I think about the voices that I don't hear anymore all the time because I miss them that much. We have a guest host (Don't worry, Gabe Howard will be back!) for this episode: Our host, Kit Wallis, who goes by SchizoKitzo, is a content creator who advocates for schizoaffective and bipolar disorders. She uses long-form videos on her YouTube channel and short-form content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Her content centers around her personal experience with schizoaffective disorder and often includes deep dives into research topics regarding mental health. Kit was diagnosed with the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder in late 2020 and has struggled with symptoms since she was in middle school. Schizoaffective disorder is a mental health condition where someone experiences symptoms of schizophrenia--such as delusions and hallucinations--but also symptoms of a mood disorder--either major depression or, in Kit's case, bipolar. Realizing there was a lack of schizoaffective advocates, she decided to start her SchizoKitzo project to raise awareness for this complex condition. The mission of SchizoKitzo is to raise awareness of schizoaffective disorder and all of its aspects, from the mood side to the psychotic side. Kit works to bridge the gap between life and science so she can help break the stigma around mental health. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Washington has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals.

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.  Previously known as manic depression, people with bipolar disorder experience intense mood swings that go far beyond the typical highs and lows of life.  During a mania episode, people feel intense energy. Their thoughts race and they have trouble sleeping. Some people feel like they have superpowers and can do almost anything.  Then they crash into a deep depression.  MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a psychiatrist who treats people with bipolar disorder and also people living with the mental health challenge who have learned to manage their symptoms. They'll talk about the role of medications, sleep, monitoring their emotions and finding support and purpose in community. Guests: Dr. Matej Bajzer is a psychiatrist and assistant professor with the University of Minnesota Medical School who treats adults with bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions. Danny Evans was diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago at age 26. He shares his recovery story to help others heal in his work as a peer support specialist, most recently with Ramsey County. And he is a presenter in the “In Our Own Voice” program with the Minnesota chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI. Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.   Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 728 Is the real reason you've never felt ‘good enough' hiding in the conversations you're terrified to have with yourself? Vasavi Kumar, Therapist + Visibility Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 728, to reveal why speaking your truth out loud is the key to claiming self-worth and real freedom, and how daily mirror work, honest self-talk, and embracing your authentic voice can shift the trajectory of your life, relationships, and mental health. "Many people struggle with having a cluttered mind. You need to say it out loud. Get it out of your head. Get it out into the ether. Don't keep it inside. Allow yourself to say the thing that is taking up space in your mind so that you can have a mind that actually is thriving and peaceful within." - Vasavi Kumar
