Actress and Singer Talia Jackson Describes what Having Bipolar Disorder Feels Like

Having bipolar disorder can make you wonder who is the real you. Is it the manic you who is full of big ideas and energy? Or is it the depressed you who can barely crawl out of bed in the mornings? Anyone who suffers from this condition knows that dramatic mood swings can make you feel like a different person from day to day.
That’s how the actress and singer Talia Jackson describes what having bipolar disorder feels like. Best known for her role in Netflix’s Family Reunion, ‪@TaliaJacksonOfficial‬ says one of her biggest issues is “the back and forth of never knowing who I am.” In an episode of Scan My Brain with Dr. Julie Brush, a doctor of naturopathy at Amen Clinics, she says she also struggles with panic attacks, “horrible anxiety,” “awful frustration,” and anger. It’s a lot to cope with. Jackson wanted to have her brain scanned to gain a better understanding of herself and who she is.

    She's such a brave and articulate young lady. Not too many young people would be so open and talk about bipolar. Wishing her all the best. 🙏❤🙏❤ l love Talia!

    Dr. Brush did an excellent job of explaining the scans in laymen terms. I've watched dozens of Amen Clinic videos the past few years and this is literally the first time I've actually understood what I was seeing in the scans. Using a marker to circle areas on the scans was so helpful. Thank you Dr. Brush!

    She is so cute! I just love her. She looked so guilty when the docter was describing the behavior associated to areas of activity in her brain scan. Looks like the Doc was spot on.

    I love that professionals are now acknowledging the effects of stress. In fact (I am an RN and taught nursing and worked ICU), I wrote a book in 2005 called Peace Management because of the detrimental effects of stress. I am so thankful health care professionals are now acknowledging this . Thank you!!!! There are definitely techniques that work to teach your brain not to activate the stress response.

    The thing this doctor may not realize is that some people like myself have tried literally over 35 medications and benzodiazepines are the only thing that actually helps with my anxiety long term. It’s like a catch 22, not have a scalloped brain and have horrific constant levels of ruminating and obsessive thoughts and suicide level depression and anxiety, or have a scalloped brain and be on the meds. It feels utterly hopeless sometimes.

    I totally understand what you’re saying & how it feels as I have anxiety and when the panic attacks started I wasn’t able to even go outside for several months. It’s so embarrassing and it feels like your brain is in jail. I don’t want to live when they are happening.

    what if its not bipolar and its a misdiagnosis? Its possible she could have a personality disorder like borderline personality disorder. Dr Ramani has great videos on these disorders. Bipolar manic episodes last for weeks it does not come and go quickly. If her moods are shifting rapidly it may not be bipolar. In addition she says shes had a life time of unease feelings and doesnt know who she is.

    Theres lots of controversy with dr amens work. Not really sure how to feel about him and his work. I guess if people are transforming for the better then it is what it is. Otherwise im not so sure i agree with his methods although i do agree with much of what he says.

    I know benzodiazepine brain scans can look like some of the worst. Perhaps pharma got involved since they’re such a risky drug yet still being prescribed. Like saying that anything can cure the C word on KZread it makes pharma upset, all about the profit. Who knows.
