Episode 18 – Mania and Hypomania (Part 1)

I discuss the first part of my thoughts on mania and hypomania in relation to bipolar disorder.

I tell the difference between schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder as well as briefly describe aspects of bipolar disorder.

I talk about my personal long-term effects of the psychotic episode I had in 10th grade.

I talk about reasons for self-harm in those with BPD in this one.

I start a piece going into different criteria for borderline personality disorder, starting with feelings of emptiness related to my own experiences.

I continue with my third post about BPD, in which I specify the criteria used to diagnose it.

An intermission for Mental Health Awareness Month on coping mechanisms and dissociating.
