Bipolar Disorder: an Exploratory Analysis of the Lived Experience Bipolar Disorder: An Exploratory Analysis of the Lived Experience Dr Tessa Kristine Wigney UNSW School of Psychiatry and The Black Dog Institute Faculty of Medicine 2010 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: WIGNEY First name: TESSA Other name/s: KRISTINE Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: PSYCHIATRY Faculty: MEDICINE Title: BIPOLAR DISORDER: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF THE LIVED EXPERINCE Abstract 350 words maximum This thesis explores the lived experience of those with Bipolar Disorder type I or type II condition. The aim is to delineate how individuals cope following the diagnosis of this chronic, recurrent mental illness. Twenty participants were interviewed in depth, producing 18 hours of recordings and 480 pages of transcript. Narrative data were thematically analysed to reveal themes common to the process of adaptation. The exploratory framework identified key elements of the lived experience of bipolar disorder, including: the phenomenology of highs and lows, the role of anxiety in triggering episodes, reactions to diagnosis, and issues with prescribed medications. Analyses highlighted how difficult it is for individuals to reconcile themselves to the symptoms and consequences of the illness, and also illustrated the extent of subjective distress and reduced quality of life incurred. The psychosocial burden, particularly the difficulties developing a sense of authenticity and coherent identity, and having to adjust life goals, were examined in detail. Negative coping behaviours, specifically the use of alcohol and drugs, as well as the influence of shame and guilt on peoples’ coping repertoires were also explored. Finally, the importance of psychosocial interventions, collaborative health care strategies and necessity for long- term, follow-up care were emphasised.

  • Aristotle and DSM on 'Bipolar' Melancholy: Symptoms, Medication
    Marlies ter Borg. Medical Research Archives vol 9 issue 5. Medical Research Archives RESEARCH ARTICLE Aristotle and DSM on ‘Bipolar’ Melancholy: Symptoms, Medication, Link to Creativity. 1 Author Dr. Marlies ter Borg Independent bipolar philosopher, Bentveldsweg 102, 2111 ED Aerdenhout, the Netherlands Email: [email protected] Tel 31 23 5245793 Copyright 2021 KEI Journals. All Rights Reserved Marlies ter Borg. Medical Research Archives vol 9 issue 5. May 2021 Page 2 of 18 Abstract That Aristotle connected excellence, creativity to (bipolar) melancholy is known. This article adds depth and detail by distilling from his work characteristics of hot and cold melancholy, placing them in pairs of opposites, and comparing them with the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder in DSM. The Greek warned against extreme mood. He named two examples of mythical persons who suffered the tragic consequences; Ajax’ suicide and Hercules’ manic destruction of his wife and children. More recent examples are Vincent van Gogh, who committed suicide and his brother Theo who attacked his wife and child, was interned and finally succumbed from the consequences of extreme mania. Aristotle urged melancholics to temper their mood. For it was only from mild melancholy that sustained creativity could be expected. He advocated hellebore as medicine. His general ethical advice to strive towards the opposite extreme is especially relevant for melancholics. Aristotle’s work on excellence and bipolar melancholy can inspire those confronted with bipolar disorder today to temper their mood. The examples of famous melancholics throughout the ages bring comfort and a sense of belonging. The author, who is stabilized on lithium, holds up the example of the van Gogh family who, lacking the effective the medicine available today, communicated openly with each other about their disorder.

Much of the thinking in this Received 30 April 2011 area has been inspired by biographical accounts of poets, musicians, and other highly accomplished groups, Received in revised form 13 September 2011 which frequently document signs of bipolar disorder in these samples. A smaller literature has examined Accepted 3 October 2011 quantitative measures of creativity among people with bipolar disorder or at risk for the disorder. In this Available online 13 October 2011 paper, we provide a critical review of such evidence. We then consider putative mechanisms related to the link of bipolar disorder with creativity, by drawing on literature outside of bipolar disorder on personality, Keywords: Creativity motivational, and affective predictors of creativity. Because so little research has directly evaluated whether Bipolar disorder these factors could help explain the elevations of creativity in bipolar disorder, we conclude with an agenda Mania for future research on the theoretically and clinically compelling topic of creativity in bipolar disorder.

  • Discussion Guide
    Discussion Guide A POWERFUL STORY A Window into the Reality of Bipolar Disorder Touched with Fire stars Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby as two poets with bipolar disorder whose art is fueled by their emotional extremes. When they meet in a treatment facility, their chemistry is instant and intense, pushing each other's mania to new heights. They pursue their passions, swinging from fantastical highs to tormented lows, both of which place them on the edge of disaster. They must ultimately choose between each other and stability. Inspired by the filmmaker's own struggles with bipolar disorder, Paul Dalio wrote, directed, edited and scored his feature film debut. The film also includes performances by Griffin Dunne, Christine Lahti and Bruce Altman with a cameo by Kay Jamison, author of the book Touched with Fire, a definitive work on creativity and mental health. The film is produced by Jeremy Alter and Kristina Nikolova and executive produced by Spike Lee. AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION Touched with Fire takes the audience on an authentic journey through the highs and lows of bipolar disorder and how it affects not only individuals, but also friends, families and work life. It is an outstanding film that offers a holistic portrayal of mental health and provides audiences with an inside look into one of the nation’s most talked about but least understood mental health conditions. So, what can we take away from this mission-aligned film primed to change conversations? In a time when mental health is constantly appearing in national headlines, what must we do to reduce stigma and change the way we view mental health concerns? 1 DISCUSSION SUGGESTIONS This discussion guide is designed to facilitate a conversation that is inspired by the film.
