Hypomania and The Reality of Medicine

*NOTE* Please do not confuse my writing of hypomania vs mania, mania is full blown and offers nothing good, only destruction of yourself and others.

Its too bad, in this day and age, the “condition” called hypomania gets such a bad wrap. Hypomania to the untrained person, who hears it first, is something of a medical condition. A state where a person can be labeled erratic, energetic, dysfunctional, crazy or what have you. When the person acts in the ways these labels go, its hard to believe otherwise. But deep down inside any bipolar person, this state of hypomania exists and offers so much hope.

Hypomania is not for the faint of heart. Only the mentally strong and capable should follow the advice I later give. Are you strong enough? How close are you to god? Ask these questions first and really take some time to think about them. With careful evaluation, these questions will give you the right answers to pursue whatever path God intended.

So the funny thing is, the ones who dismiss hypomania most, are so called doctors. AND to give them even less credit, they are many times just “normal” people. Sure ‘educated’ in the poison of medicine, but normal nonetheless. How can such people, such doctors, really understand what mania is? Do they think just by observing, they then know the truth?

The fact is, and in my heart what I firmly believe: those doctors have no idea. They have over inflated egos, full of ripe education based on statistics and merit but no soul. A body cannot live without the mind, and a human is not a person without a soul.

How is it then, that these doctors come to tell you: you are depressed, you are manic, you are bipolar, you are crazy, you are ____________ (insert disposition here). WHEN in all reality, they make their diagnosis based on past education in comparison to a person’s actions. Is that merit? Is that accurate? OR is that just a sham? Actions say one thing, but any MD doctor, no matter how educated or level of experience, CANNOT or WONT diagnose a person based on that person’s self-drive, personal ability, and reality.

Confusing? Let me simplfy: A doctor cannot jump in your head, hear your thoughts, see what you see, feel what you feel. And in that is the importance. NO matter HOW good his diagnosis, he is NOT you!

To state blankly: “normal” people do not understand what depression or mania really is. They assume each, to be a separate problem. Cured only with the aid of pills and doctors. Neither party, at times, cares enough to detail the issue for themselves to make a better decision. Instead doctors throw you containers of pills, and you take them hoping they will do what they say and have less side affects than you fear.

Did I mention that many anti-depressant drugs side affects are symptoms IDENTICAL to those found in depression?!? What the heck kind of cure is that? It may cure the memory loss, but you still feel slugish. It may cure the lack of energy, but you still lack self-esteem. The WORST part is many of these “anti-depressives” have a MAJOR possible sideaffect: suicide!

Now tell me, why in the world would a depressed person, already low in the world’s surroundings, would want to take medicine that has the RISK of killing them!? Seriously have a good listen to any of those depression commercials. It really doesn’t make sense. And all it takes is some thought, some research and some generalizations to realize, that medicine was NEVER meant to help you at all..

That medicine was meant to appear as a cure. A magic pill, you take, do nothing, and get better. The reality? You take it, a symptom will go away, may come back or you get OTHER symptoms. What does that mean? You go back for MORE medicine! The pharmaceutical industry knows this, sadly this is what they are based upon. Just like most businesses: Taking advantage of the consumer. They are taking advantage of regular people, by the thousands possibly millions into thinking they offer the cure.

Its an endless cycle, and sadly its a deadly one too. More people die from many of these symptoms which synthetic medicine provides as side affects. How? Where are the statistics to back this up? Sorry but that is where YOU, any interested individual, whether bipolar normal or what have you, take responsibility of finding. I am not here to sway anyones opinion. I am not here to make your choice. I am only here to inform. Knowledge is power. And power used wisely can benefit mankind.
