Podcasts about rapid cycling

Diesmal haben wir endlich wieder Nicole persönlich vor dem Mikro, denn sie spricht mit uns über ihre momentane Situation und das auch wieder sehr offen und schonungslos. Nicole erzählt über den Umstand, der Ultra rapid-cycling Phasen, die sie gerade durchlebt und über den akuten manischen Schub, den sie gerade durchmacht. Also, im Prinzip gibt es wieder viele private und intime Informationen, aber auch um das Weiterbilden, wenn es um die endlosen Auswüchse der Krankheit Bipolarität geht.  Also hört mal rein.

Mathis erhält die Diagnose «48h Rapid Cycling», eine Form der Bipolaren Störung. Nach eineinhalb Jahren, geprägt von einem ständigen Wechsel zwischen depressiven und hypomanischen Phasen, erlangt er durch eine gezielte Therapie und die richtigen Medikamente wieder ein stabiles Gleichgewicht.

Do you wish you had someone to understand what you're going through or have been through?I fell in love with a man that had the most attractive energy I had ever met. He was attentive, sexy, strong, intelligent, enthusiastic and had a quick wit. He was the best hype guy and ready to ride at anytime. Want to get a coffee? Yes. Want to meet for a drink? Yes. You want to move? Yes. I was drawn into a relationship with someone because of his powerful energy of willingness and his ability to lock his attention onto me. The attention that I was getting from him made me feel like I could accomplish anything because he had such a strong ride and fly attitude. It dissolved the fears of post trauma, of being alone or abandoned. That's why I married someone with bipolar without knowing it. My story is from the view of the partner that has fallen in love with someone with a very serious illness and the intimate details of what we went through as the illness unfolded. Bipolar tore our life down and we had to fight to restore it, and 15 years later, I'm still telling the story. But I've been hearing your stories too, and all the people that have reached out to me over the years have lit up a passion in me to never let anyone be alone with bipolar. This is my mission and my heart's call to change the way we do a relationship with a loved one with bipolar. Connect with TempleTempleleffingwell@gmail.comInstagramFacebookAmazon / Kindle"Whoops, I Married Bipolar: An Inside Look at A Real Relationship with Mental Illness" Book / AudioBookLinksHeart Healers Brain GangMajor TransformationHealing Foundation90 Minute One on One Post Production for I Married Bipolar is done by:...

“Rapid cycling” in bipolar disorder is defined by the occurrence of at least 4 episodes of mania, hypomania, depression, or mixed states during the preceding 12 months. Episodes are demarcated by partial or full remission for at least 2 months or a switch to an episode of opposite polarity. In this podcast, Dr. Ross J. Baldessarini of McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School discusses the prevalence of rapid cycling and the challenges in its treatment. Rapid cycling is more common in women and is associated with an elevated risk of suicide. Dr. Baldessarini's comments are informed by recent efforts he and his colleagues undertook to synthesize reviews and meta-analyses on prevalence rates and response rates to treatment, as well as on their recently research on a cohort of 1261 bipolar disorder patients with or without rapid cycling who were followed up for at least 1 year.   The March-April 2024 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology includes a commentary from Dr. Baldessarini, Dr. Alessandro Miola, Dr. Mark A. Frye,  and Dr. Leonardo Tondo titled “Current Status and Treatment of Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder.”

[CW: Suicide] Mary and Wyatt get into the nitty gritty of bipolar disorder: mixed episodes and rapid cycling, neither of which are as much fun as they sound. They also discuss their experiences with suicidal thoughts during depressive episodes, and how fear can prevent people from discussing them with loved ones. Also on the agenda: five least favorite songs, a day of locksmith-induced drama, and poems by francine j. harris and Eileen Myles. 

Denis Marier welcomes you to the fifth episode of Groomed, a podcast for male survivors of childhood grooming and sexual abuse, and their loved ones.   In this episode, Denis opens up to his lifelong friend, John Conlon, about the state of his mental health issues and challenges with various addictions that John never even knew about.  Following the sudden death of his oldest brother Jerry, Denis began in-depth counseling for the first time in his life. In addition to Denis' grief and attempts to understand his childhood, he began to unravel the damage inflicted by the grooming and sexual abuse in his teenage years.    They talk about the years of damage trying to come to grips with what had happened and Denis' attempts to heal. John holds Denis' feet to the fire and asks the question many people have been asking, “Why did you remain friends with him for so long?”    Denis reveals the torment of trying to protect the secret and the damage it caused to his psychological and emotional health and well being. Key Takeaways: [2:12] John gives a timeline for the events of Denis' early university years. [3:28] John and Denis discuss their memories of the incident when John realized something about the relationship with the teacher was very wrong. [7:22] Denis moved to Japan and became a high school teacher himself. He still maintained a friendship with the teacher, but the reality of the abuse began to sink in. [8:44] Back in Windsor, Denis attempts sucide for a second time and overdoses on seizure medication. [9:01] Denis talks about the night terrors he started to experience when he was in university. [10:10] Denis realized he needed to move away from Windsor again and relocated to Burlington, ON. [10:50] Denis disclosed the abuse for the first time to a paralegal in a darkened parking lot. [11:43] Denis wrote his last letter to the teacher in 1996, threatening to go to the police. [13:00] John and Denis reminisce about sitting in the garden in Burlington, and when Denis opened up to John about what really happened in high school. [13:21] John admits that many people had suspected that something inappropriate had occurred, but no one asked Denis about it. [14:35] Denis considered going to the police but told John, “I don't want to put my family through that.” [15:24] Denis recalls the time in high school when he opened up to a high school counselor and was then threatened by the teacher. [16:47] Denis talks about being on antidepressants since his first suicide attempt at 16 years-old. A few years later, after a head injury, he was put on antiepileptic medicine. Those medicines were not compatible and chaos ensued. [17:47] September 1996: Denis began naturopathic medical school and revealed his history to a school therapist. [19:01] January 1997: The school therapist sends Denis for a psychiatric evaluation. Denis' GP disagrees with the initial report and sends Denis for a second evaluation. [19:57] February 1997: Denis is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II, Rapid-Cycling and started on medication. [20:26] March 1997: Three weeks later Denis' oldest brother, Jerry, died suddenly in a snowmobile accident in Michigan. [20:45] The sudden and tragic death of Denis' oldest brother created a nearly unbearable survivor's guilt for Denis and he blamed himself  for his brother's death. “Because I told my story, he died. It was my fault!” [24:19] Denis went to the police for the first time, but he was dissuaded from pursuing criminal charges against the teacher being told, “Unfortunately, being a faggot isn't a crime anymore.” [26:35] Denis tries to wrap his head around the fact that it was never his fault. [28:41] Coming out to his family and friends as gay man felt like a “social experiment.” [29:39] Crossing paths with the teacher on the day he came out to his parents, Denis confronted the teacher and said, “We need to talk!” Denis told the teacher about therapy and going to the police, then asked the teacher for an apology. He warned the teacher that he would go to the police again if he heard of any other bad behaviour. [33:07] Denis recounts coming out as a gay man to his father and siblings. It didn't go well. [37:13] Denis struggled with his feelings for his mentor. [38:44] Realizing he needed to deal with the root cause of his psychological illness, Denis weaned himself off pharmaceuticals. [40:17] Denis descended into an underworld of drugs, sex, and exploration. [40:31] Denis opens up about his first same-sex relationship and falling in love with another man. [41:27] Denis describes the intensity of leading a double life. [43:39] Denis leaves a troubled relationship with a man he deeply loved in order to save himself. [44:13] Denis starts group therapy for gay male survivors of sexual abuse offered through the United Way, followed by group therapy for drug and alcohol harm reduction for gay men offered through CAMH.   Mentioned in this Episode:  Groomed Podcast Groomed on Facebook Groomed on Twitter   Canada Suicide Prevention Services Victim Services Ontario Support Services for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse program   Tweetable and Quotes:   “They say the only reason for kids or young people to have night terrors is sexual abuse or refugees of war.” @groomedpodcast   “You're afraid to start crying because you think that you're never going to stop.” @groomedpodcast   “Therapy was the place where I really started unpacking the actual abuse.” @groomedpodcast   “He got really close and he kind of pushed me up against a locker.

In this episode we welcome back special guest Christine Ribbens Grimm with the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program out of the University of Michigan. We were honored to have Christine come back to the show to talk about bipolar depression, the differences of mood states, the possibility of suicidality, and treatment options. Often times people do not understand how depression can effect not only the emotional state, but the physical body as well. We also chat about many people with bipolar disorder may initially present with depressive symptoms that are challenging to treat, and if misdiagnosed can be hyperstimulated by medications that can reveal the underlying bipolar diagnosis. What is Bipolar Disorder (from the Prechter Research Program website): Bipolar disorder is best described as a disorder of the energy of the brain. People with bipolar disorder experience unusual and intense changes in mood and behavior. There are two extremes in bipolar disorder: mania and depression. During a manic episode, people feel “up,” and may be much more energetic than usual. Mania is much more extreme than a sudden burst of energy or a good mood. Manic episodes may be associated with high-risk behaviors including substance abuse, sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and even violence. During a depressive episode, people feel “down,” have low energy, and neglect obligations. Bipolar disorder often causes problems in work, school, and relationships and may require hospitalization.

After years of struggling with depression and manic episodes, Tammy Ozolins finally received the diagnosis of Bipolar Two with Rapid Cycling. As an educator, she has made the brave decision to talk publicly about her mental health journey in order to end the stigma and educate young people on the realities of mental health. It was an honor to connect with Tammy (also known as “Ms. Oz”) and learn not only about her own battle with mental health, but also hear her perspective as a teacher on how we can better inform young people about their own mental health and equip them with the necessary tools to overcome their own struggles. In today’s episode, Tammy shares with us about why she does not shy away from the topic of mental health, and how her own story of hospitalization and even a suicide attempt has made her even more passionate about helping others who may feel alone in their struggles. She shares with us why having a diagnosis was a “relief”, how she has coped with depression and navigated manic episodes in the workplace, and why she believes that educating others and communicating with them is so important. This is a powerful episode for not only those who struggle with mental health but also for those who are supporting a loved one.

We met Clint, who opened for DL Hughley, in the green room of the comedy club they were performing in to talk about life with bipolar. Clint talks candidly about being in the entertainment industry with a mental illness, his suicidality, the African American community and mental illness, and how laughter has been one of the best medicines for him.

Rachel Dick is a queer identifying grad student at Fordham University with a passion for hanging from aerial apparatuses, and the new co-host of the OFM Podcast. She grew up in Memphis but never went to Graceland, and has spent the last 7 years in Chicago without ever once seeing a Cubs game. She’d love to eventually obtain a Ph.D in Human Sexuality with an emphasis on sexuality in spiritual traditions so she can spend her life writing niche pieces about people’s sex lives that no one will probably ever read. When she’s not wasting time on social media, she’s reading fantasy novels and looking for cute dogs to pet. We chat about anxiety, depression, misdiagnosis, the diagnosis journey, the shocking impact being queer can have on your psyche in today's society, and more. As she says at the end of the episode "10/10 would record again."

Mr. Joe is back for a Monday edition of Mr. Joe's Bipolar Podcast. Since last week, he had recorded 2 different episodes for a total of 90 minutes of content. Unfortunately, a technical error with his podcasting host resulted in an abundance of lost content. Mr. Joe reviews some of the content that was deleted, including his latest experience with one of the deepest and darkest depression cycles he's had in nearly a decade. His mood swings have included ultra rapid cycling along with tremendous amount of stress.

Mr. Joe describes the typical pattern in which his rapid cycling would occur while off and on medication. He analyzes the potential triggers of his recent mood swing.

Mr. Joe's mental health continues to take a turn for the worse as his mixed episodes and rapid cycling have peaked over the last 2 days. He discusses a recent, intense manic episode, followed by a bout of extended crying. Mr. Joe also provides in-depth information on his job responsibilities and position at work.

Mr. Joe discusses the unpredictable responses that occur with Bipolar Disorder. Topics include manic symptoms, feelings of failure, and irrational responses to loved ones. Mr. Joe updates us on his medication adjustment and his recent struggles with rapid cycling.

Plastid transformation is a well-established tool for biotechnology as it allows highexpression levels of proteins and as it provides biological transgene containment because of maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic genes in most crops. In basic research the function and regulation of plastid encoded genes can be further studied with the help of plastid transformation. This study is focused on the three most critical steps to achieve plastid transformation in Arabidopsis thaliana and Rapid-Cycling Brassica rapa (RCBr), the establishment of a regeneration protocol, the construction of species specific vectors and the use of different transformation protocols. First, to allow the generation of fertile plants out of transformed cells, a reliable regeneration protocol was established. Fertile plants of Arabidopsis thaliana were obtained with high regeneration efficiencies from cotyledons, seed derived calli and protoplasts. In RCBr, fertile plants could be regenerated from tissue culture of hypocotyls. For introduction of genes into plastids, appropriate vectors with different selection and visual markers were constructed. These ensure site specific integration of desired sequences and enable selection of transformed cell lines. In this study, species specific vectors for Nicotiana tabacum, Arabidopsis thaliana and RCBr were designed and cloned, using aminoglycoside resistance markers such as the aadA gene (confers resistance to spectinomycin and streptinomycin), the nptII or the aphA6 gene (conferring resistance to kanamycin). To allow the selection through the herbicides phosphinothricin or bialaphos, the bar gene was employed. In addition, fluorescence markers such as GFP, DsRed and AmCyan were taken as visual markers. After the establishment of a regeneration protocol and the construction of specific vectors, two different protocols for plastid transformation, the particle gun- or PEG (Polyethylene glycol)-mediated transformation method, were applied. However, no transformed plant in Arabidopsis thaliana and RCBr could be recovered so far. That the transformation protocol does work in principal could be shown by the use of Nicotiana tabacum. Plastids of Nicotiana tabacum were successfully transformed using both transformation methods and AmCyan as new visual marker. Out of these experiments, fertile homoplasmic tobacco plants could be obtained as was shown by Southern blot analysis and reciprocal crosses. Thus, the functionality of the used transgene expression cassettes was clearly proven.

Applying Performance Measures Through a Chronic Disease Model to Optimize Treatment of Bipolar Mania - PDF Course Materials

Bipolar disorder is a complicated and severe mental disorder associated with a recurrent or chronic course, insufficient clinical response, and psychosocial impairment in a substantial number of patients. Bipolar disorder presents with pleomorphic signs and symptoms varying from depression to hypomania, full-blown mania, mixed states, and psychosis. Due to the complexity of the disease, the assessment of patients with bipolar disorder poses a difficult challenge to clinicians. Upon diagnosis, it is paramount to understand the different classifications of medications available for treatment to ensure the patient is getting the best care possible based on evidence and treatment guidelines considering safety and long-term efficacy. In this neuroscienceCME Live and On Demand activity, the faculty will apply a chronic disease model to the diagnosis and management of bipolar mania focusing on achievement of performance measure-based benchmarks that can improve patient outcomes.

Guest: Christina Demopulos, MD Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Dr. Demopulos discusses how to diagnose rapid cycling bipolar disorder and explains how the treatment may differ from treating classical bipolar disorder.

Bipolar rapid cycling (RC) is defined as 4 or more affective episodes within 1 year. It has been postulated that RC is related to a poor response to lithium, to the same extent as mixed episodes or other atypical symptoms of the illness. This article reviews the current status of alternative pharmacological or otherwise supportive therapies of RC. Biological parameters and characteristics of the illness associated with RC like gender prevalence in women, hyperthyroid ism, catecholamine-O-methyltransferase allele, the influence of sleep, different subtypes of bipolar disorder and the risk of antidepressant-induced cycling will be discussed in detail.
