Depression is often connected with emos and emos are people who believes they have a depression and uses it to gain attention.
However, the depression sickness "Bipolar disease" is a depression-state which is categorized as a disease, just like diabetes and any chronical diseases.

Depressions can often be noticed by the surrounding people but if people do not know what the signs are, the spotting will be a lot more difficult. Therefore I wish for all of you to watch this video and memorize all the signs that they show here in order to spot if people close to you (or even yourself!!) has got a problem. This disease should be checked into and managed immediately due to the fact that it may end with a suicide and there is no need for that.
This disease cannot be cured but it can be helped with therapy and with medicines.

If you find someone with this, and helps it, you're just as much of a hero as any other who saves people from a burning house or from drowning. Remember that!

Bipolar disorder, even, let's hate the non-edit website.

i already started to help myself with codeine, lithium and DXM from Acodine. simple.

You got this problem? :o

I was diagnosed with "bipolar disorder" two years ago and things like these piss me off. Yes, you can go from miserable to extremely happy and visa versa, but I think it's just a little exaggerated. This video just annoys me. Sure there is something wrong, BUT the drugs you're given like lithium for example can become highly addictive and it can get out of hand causing more problems then actually having BD. Medicare companies just jump on the bandwagon to make drugs and slap a lables on it then just make up or exaggerate a disease or condition so everyone goes out and buys their pills even if they don't have it just because it sounds so common. It's like "Do you sleep at night?" "You might have tired syndrome. Go buy X pills to cure Y disease."

I wish they would fuck off.

This was a rant that went extremely offtopic. My apologies.

Sure they do that, but still without the proper medicine a BD-diagnosed individual can end up killing himself/herself if the proper medicine isn't available. Therefore you need the medicine but still there are cheats and money to gain so the exaggeration will never disappear. Just as you said.

I suppose it just depends how miserable you get. But a perfectly normal person could end up killing him or herself aswell. Just depends how much you want to buy into it and care. But you are correct none the less.

His Eyes really bother me!

Feeling sad and being clinically depressed where you have a chemical imbalance in your brain are two entirely different things.

Deppression as a disease was invented by junkies to get perscribed Xanax.

You're wrong.

Oh! Internet friend!
Modern psychology is a complete fraud, your bipolar fellow shiska surely understands this too as he's treating himself with 3 abusable drugs, a weak opioid, lithium and a dissociative hallucinogen.

If you end up killing yourself without these drugs, wouldn't that be the right choice? Isn't that the real you and not the drug induced you? Unlike those who are perscribed pain medication you're not in any pain, you're just intoxicating yourself to forget about the things that make you want to kill yourself.
Humans playing God again, trying to stop people from killing themselves by changing them into something unnatural even if killing themselves seems to be what they really want.

Another made up 'disease' is ADD, now all you need to do to get your fill of amphetamines is to go to the doctor and inform him that you have "a hard time concentrating".

You're wrong once again, friend. The feeling of guilt and that they want to kill themselves is not due to problems in their life but if a disorder that tells them so. It's almost like obsessive action disorder, where people have to clean themselves all the time even though in reality they aren't dirty. They are suicidial because the brain due to a malfunction is telling them to be sad, so no. It's almost like saying that we should cure aids or cancer since cancer is natures way of saying "You're time is soon over, leave room for someone else." or to cure aids would mean like "HAHA you had unsafe sex with a stranger, now pay your penalty, sucker."

This is no exception.

You don't get diagnosed with AIDS just by saying that you have it.

Bipolar Disorder does exist, I just think calling it a "disease" is a bit exaggerated though. It's just a chemical imbalance like Thorin said.

I've got to side with bwX. But, I guess you wouldn't know what it's like unless you have it?

You can get diagnosed with Bipolar by going to a doctor, and they confirms it... Otherwise you've got a regular depression which means you need to see a shrink, not to get subscripted with medicine.

You're an idiot
