I had a completely psychotic episode in December after using my asthma inhaler during a severe chest infection. The steroids also sent my blood sugars very high. As soon as I stopped taking the inhaler things started to improve. It took a few weeks before I was back to normal. One of the reasons this happened is that I had not been taking the steroids daily and went from zero to a hundred i.e. zero to maximum dose quite quickly. This must have increased my dopamine levels. I run a bit high at the best of times. Fortunately, I never go low. I'm still struggling a bit with some hypo issues as my brain can be a bit "happy".
I really enjoy your vlogs. I am diagnosed as bipolar 2, chronic depression, OCD, PTSD, ADHD and DID. I am a lucky one as I've great insurance, a great team of mental health providers and my family and friends are 100% there for me. My diagnosis does not define me, I am successful in my career, in my marriage of over 31 years, and my relationships.

Dr. Marks. I know that you don't need someone like me to tell you this, but you are so good at what you do. Thanks for informing those of us who want to understand the myriad of mental illness that we see around us in society. Blessings to you. 🙏
I was misdiagnosed as Bipolar in 2009. I was on high doses of Beclomemthasone inhaler and Fluticasonse propironate for many years. I had underlying Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS, and Celiac Disease that was diagnosed in 2017. What made things much worse- I had weight loss surgery and developed Post Bariatric Reactive Hypoglycemia - which was not diagnosed until I woke up in a hospital after being in a diabetic coma. I have been properly reevaluated and now off all meds,and treating my hypoglycemia. I am grateful for access to research studies, online support groups, and educated medical professionals. I had a TBI in 2015
I wish she was my doctor am sure she is overbooked! She's very knowledgeable and holistic! Which is useful when you have a medication resistant mental illness. This is also very useful for me as a health professional we don't think of this often when prescribing medication or in conditions she stated and its serious and can be confusing to the patient! Very very useful video!

My psychiatrist died suddenly and I was cut off from my PTSD meds cold turkey. The new doctor scrapped my previous diagnosis and diagnosed me with bipolar after less than 10 minutes during my first appointment. I looked up the symptoms and it just doesn't fit me at all. My suspicion is that I was having a temporary mania or anxiety because of the situation with my meds. No matter what though, it was a terrible time to diagnose anything.
Struggling to deal with my 30-year-old bipolar son. Bipolar one mania and psychosis. Been hospitalized a few times. We're in a good place now. Drugs, marijuana alcohol caffeine. Those things are awful for bipolar and he's just learning he can't do those. Hopefully we're on our way to a much better place.

Mania took my hand and showed me that reality is constructed in a huge factory run by little hidden creatures. While I was distracted by the beauty of that machine she surprised me by showing me that I'm one of the creatures in that cosmic factory as well, who is merely suffering from the illusion that I'm a human living in the Universe that was think we know. As I was coming to grips with that, she showed me that myself and all the other creatures running the machine are actually just singular, primal points of observation -- possessing no other actual attributes than the pure ability to know. Before I could process all of this I was gently transformed back into my body and sent home again.

I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but actually I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis before that and have been on methotrexate for a few years.
Thanks for these videos. If I might add one more, also watch out for Rhodiola. Rhodiola is in many health/vitamin stores in blends made for mood improvement, focus/concentration, and memory (and in some other blends too, so always read ingredient lists!). It can make you manic within 2-3 days if bipolar runs in your family. People in health/vitamin stores usually don't know this and may praise the blend. Some unexpected drugs also (such as the antibiotic Biaxin) can cause mania in a small percentage of people. 1% of people may not sound like many, but if a million people take the drug and 1% go manic, that's 10,000 folks. Mania is bad not just because you talk too much and too fast, take stupid risks, spend massive amounts of money, wreck your relationships... you also lose the ability to sleep much if at all, which quickly creates a bunch of other issues.
Whew! I get those, soooo glad I'm not nuts. I don't get them very often, no apparent triggers, just random moments of extreme joy ... might last five minutes or so ...
I can’t take antidepressants for my anxiety/depressive symptoms ‘cause they make me manic/hypomanic or cycling through several intense negative emotional states for hours then leave me shaky as hell afterwords-ie, pretty sure it’s a serotonin overdose. And when I was prescribed lyrica for what was initially assumed to be fibromialgia (it’s not; it’s ankyolizing spondilitis), the serotonin in the drug did something similar: uncontrolled depressive thoughts and a decreased ability to focus then left me incredibly shaky and sluggish when it finally finally worked its way out …and well…it’s damn difficult to get anyone to listen to me about it. When one psychiatrist FINALLY did, it was to basically call me hysterical to the nurse he told to come in when I burst into tears after months of him being pissy about me wanting to do genetic testing and not even reading my chart Ever-when I asked my therapist play Devil’s Advocate? Yeah, I don’t score high enough on Borderline or Bipolar or other personality disorders for it to even really be a concern; anything that almost looks like it is already a symptom of my diagnosed adhd and presumed cptsd + my anxiety/depressive symptoms improved After I had time for auto immune and IBS medications to build up …I’ll see if a psychiatric nurse practitioner finally listens to me. My therapist insists they’re generally better about this + mention my symptoms/concerns that I’m prone to what’s probably serotonin syndrome…which I did with the psychiatrist even before I knew there was a probable NAME for this. But like. I’m seriously questioning if my symptoms are Actual anxiety/depression vs just poor self esteem and secondary to the other stuff…as messing with my serotonin even on low doses is NOT GOOD and there’s no evidence for an underlying personality disorder (which was only ever mentioned by an asshole to discredit me, not because of any clear cause for concern.)

Hello Dr. Marks, I appreciate your KZread videos and I am a huge fan. Could you please do a video that discusses Postpartum psychosis, how to treat it, and how mania plays a role in it. Also how it is similar to or differs from Bipolar disorder. It's just that it's a topic that is not so discussed and a lot of women end up being misdiagnosed not knowing what they are dealing with.
Thank you SO SO much for this. I will burn this into my memory.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is another one.
I'm glad you described this in the way you did. I believe I experienced secondary mania or something similar. I had pretty severe burnout due to comorbid psychiatric conditions and eventually a severe vitamin deficiency, when I would get particularly exhausted, I would have brief episodes of mania like episodes that sometimes included psychosis. When I had pmdd, the symptoms also mimicked bipolar, but where distinctly tied to my cycle. The only reason I was not misdiagnosed with bipolar is because I was assumed to be faking or over-exaggerating my symptoms. No, I am not glad I wasn't taken seriously, but I am glad that I don't have to deal with the bipolar misdiagnosis as some people I know have. Some people can be really messed up when they are treated with drugs for a disorder they do not possess.

I'm hoping to eventually find a better and more consistent solution, because it's still not amazingly manageable, though I no longer have hallucinations due to it. I've heard that some people do well on anti-depressants or hormone supplements (I personally don't). For me personally, my pmdd can be very severe if I don't take vitamin D on a daily basis and around my cycle, I tend to eat more protein rich food when I need to be awake (sometimes it helps with the fatigue). I have found experimentally that some foods sit worse with my stomach or cause me to have worse cramps, though most of these I later found out I was intolerant to so that could be less helpful to you.

I am predominately manic. Rarely am I depressed. I was diagnosed many years ago and simply did not have the time nor did I want to take the meds prescribed as the medications DEPRESSED me. I like to think that I maintain and am aware of my episodes and quite honestly, love my mania. My energy, free thinking, creativity is all just me. However, although I have adapted by secluding myself during my episodes so that I am not a bother to anyone. Very few accept or interpret my personality as I do. As a single mother of three daughters with three different fathers, they often disapprove of my impulsive, no fear here, outgoing, vast and vibrant personality. I have fallen victim to drug abuse as I am an adrenaline junkie to my core. I have a multitude of ADHD symptoms on top of being bipolar and was treated w riddelliine (sp) as a child. Why is it so hard for doctors to just let me be. I was raised taking prescription speed to make me feel normal...I dont want to self medicate with street drugs as I am now 51 years old. But I most definitely DO NOT and refuse to be a zombie... WHY can I not just be given a stimulant to keep me at a safe level of manic. WHY is it that I feel all any one wants to do is NUMB me and DULL my shine? Maybe its a coping mechinism but id rather fly above my problems rather than waller in self pity.
I can attest to the Prednisone issues. It's a good med, it works, but it just messes with you so much. I've become so sensitive to it, I react under 40mg. Thank you for acknowledging the possible manic effects of steroids. A lot of folks don't take it seriously, and that's hard when you're already dealing with medical stuff.

OH MY GOODNESS! That explains so much. I didn't react negatively to Adderall when diagnosed with ADD. So, they said I have borderline personality disorder. (I refused to take two new meds at once, and I'm glad I did.) However, I have also found out in my adult life that I have Hashimoto's (and now that I know what to look for, I was experiencing symptoms as a teen- just went undiagnosed). I could very well be borderline, but it could also just be the Hashimoto's. When I miss my thyroid meds, I get irrational for sure. I do want to note that though ADD and Hashimoto's has some overlap, I do feel like I need both levothyroxine and Adderall to be fully functional. My primary medication is levothyroxine, and I adjust the Adderall accordingly so that I don't get a racing heart if I drink a little caffeine.

@@Lil_Yuri Essentially, people with bipolar disorder "randomly" cycle through emotions in a chemical imbalance sort of way. People with borderline personality disorder tend to experience rapic cycle of emotions as a reactionary response to their environment, which is why dialectical behavioral therapy is so effective. Therefore, Adderal doesn't negatively impact people with BPD, but it can impact people with bi-polar. Everyone has "control" of their body, even if it takes extreme effort, but since bipolar isn't exclusively reactionary, it screws with whatever imbalance causes the instability in the first place. On the other hand, people with borderline personality disorder usually develop this disorder as a response to repeated trauma, like excessive bullying, living with a narssasistic or otherwise mentally/physically abusive parent.

I have Hosimoto’s that has been untreated for almost a decade. A doctor thinks I am bipolar 2, however I don’t feel that I am. I feel that it is my hosimoto’s. I honestly don’t want to take medication for either.
Anesthesia for a surgery and opioid iv in the ER to relieve ovarian cyst pain for me.
I've had mania induced three times each by prednisone, methylpredisolone, and baclofen while taking adderall xr concurrently for adhd. it's made me question if I have bipolar disorder as well as ADHD. the thing is that the mania wore off after I stopped taking those meds. I told my psychiatarist about these reactions. he was like "oh yeah, that'll do it" and told me to avoid steroids, baclofen, gabapentin, and lyrica in the future.
Uggghhh I was so hoping it was like depression and could just happen whenever now I have to see a doctor :((
Hi, Dr. Marks. I have three questions. 1) With all of the illnesses in the DSM-5-TR, are Psychiatric prescribers trained in/treat all of said illnesses? 2)Are Psych Prescribers able to treat complications from disorders? i.e skin infections from picking in patients with OCD, or prescribing analgesics to those that might hurt themselves. 3) With SGA’s proving as an effective adjunct therapy in treating TRD, why can’t low does of long-acting SGA’s be used in patients that have issues with medication compliance? Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon, Jayson P.
I took 5-HTP and I think that it triggered my recent episode. If I trace it back, getting that supplement might have been a bad idea since I do have a diagnosis of Bipolar.
Hi Dr. Marks -- I'm wondering if you could do a video on HPPD. Recently started experiencing the disorder and know of other people who are as well. (Also on the off chance you explore this topic, please keep my name anonymous). Thank you!
Dear Dr. Marks what is your opinion about a natural supplement called Neuriva? It's this suitable for everyone?
Ms tracey can you do a video on risperidone??? Love the videos🥂

It would be a neat series to go through medicines. I’d love to see one on haldol.

Hi John, no I don't have one on risperidone. In the past when I've made really specific videos talking about certain medications, they don't get watched much, the algorithm stops showing them and they get lost among my other videos. As @Emmy Rose suggested, I may consider a series talking about the different medication classes. Even that may be too niche for this platform, but we'll see.

@@DrTraceyMarks thank you for replying, you are an amazing doctor, your patients are so lucky, sadly I’m in the wrong country to be your patient. 🥰
Some years back a doctor prescribed Levaquin 500 mg. It made me so depressed. I was crying, angry, snapping at everyone. I only took it 3 days. By the 3rd day I knew I needed to stop taking it! I think somebody was trying to mess me up. I went for a very bad cold, I healed myself with natural substance! 1st thing, the dosage was to high. It messed my nerves up, but God is good, he didn't let my enemies triumph over me
I have bipolar disorder and I had a manic episode when I was on anti anxiety medication and nothing else (before I was diagnosed). I've been on anti psychotic medication for about 3 years. I still get depression frequently but I no longer get manic episodes. I'm wondering if that's the medication. Sometimes I worry that I don't actually have the condition because I don't get mania anymore or perhaps that's the medication. It's so confusing!
I had medically induced Mania form Wellbutrin
Thanks for this video. Does an antidepressant induced manic episode mean that you definitely have bipolar disorder or can it be a stand alone episode that's caused by a medication?

I want to know this to
I thought the manic state I went into was probably caused by something else but now I’m doubting that. Non of my doctors seemed concerned about it so I stopped worrying about it. I’m not sure if I should still look out for it now.
