Donate money to charity in memory of Jeremy Brett : www.justgiving.com Jeremy so wanted to give hope and help to others with manic depression (bipolar), he bravely made this broadcast even though he was in terrible ill health. He thought it important for others to seek help with their bipolar ( JB had type 1, which he describes mostly in this video). Sadly it turned out to be the last speech he ever made (he passed on just a few weeks later). Jeremy inspired me to seek help, and has helped me to come to terms with my diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. I do hope this video will be a help to others too. This recording is from the BBC, and it is here purely as a helpful resource to others without profit, no copyright infringement intended. Manic Depression Fellowship 8-10 High St, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey KT1 1EY United Kingdom Phone: 0208974 6550 www.mdf.org.uk Jeremy Brett was desperately ill suffering from a failing heart when this speech was aired in early September of 1995. His voice sounds quite tired compared to former times. Though still lovely as ever to me. Just want to say if anyone wants to add video? responses to do with bipolar disorder, they may do so on this video and my other ( dancing in the moonlight). Big thank you to Linda Pritchard and RJDoll2 for sharing this with me.

Bipolar disorder, which was once called manic depression, is often misunderstood and frequently misrepresented in the popular media. In this video, Dr. Erdelyi explains what Bipolar disorder really is. Watch More Health Videos at Health Guru: www.healthguru.com

Question by missy: How should I approach interacting with a person with bipolar or manic depression?
I’ve come across an individual who has bipolar disorder. It seems like this person has some serious issues and is trying to demand a fair amount from me, which I’m really resisting. I just don’t think it’s my place to get involved in the issues. I don’t have the training or skills.

However, I wonder, in general, how I might interact with this person to help while not getting sucked in to the problem.

Answer by Andrea
Do you know that they have Bipolar? or are you guessing? What is it that they are demanding from you? In “interact with” do you mean help with problems, be a friend, or just be around the person (as in an employment setting)?

Your question is too broad for any specific answer………

What do you think? Answer below!

I mean, I know that the bipolar disorder have mood changes very often and that clinical depression is more like staying like that most of the time, but isn’t kind of the same after the clinical depressed has gotten trough it?
Thanks

Answer by Froggie
Absolutely there is a difference, bipolar people are fine whilst they are on their medication, unfortunately, they think oh, I’m better know then go from one extreme to the other, with clinical depression, its usually a dark hidden secret that they feel that they cant share with anyone cause then they would have to face it and thats their worst fear, there are many types of depression, inability to cope with day to day life, the black hole that you feel you are being sucked into, but hang on for dear life, then their are those who just let go, medication can helps, but dont think that it can go away quickly, its a long haul and can come back again (although usually not as bad as the first time) at anytime, their are usually triggers that set us off, and we often dont know what they are, anyway, thats just whats happend to me or around me, hope this helps, goodluck! :)
