Understanding the Bipolar Brain: How Thoughts, Feelings and Emotions Work

Our brain and our mind are separate entities. Our brain is a physical structure found between our ears that integrates sensory information and directs motor responses. It acts as a control centre by receiving, interpreting and directing sensory information throughout the body. Our mind has no physical structure. It is a collection of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Although it feels like it exists in our heads, its exact location is unknown.

How To Explain Bipolar To Your Friends

          Telling a friend that you have a serious mental illness is a risk, but it can reap tremendous rewards. Until the words "I have bipolar disorder," have come out of your mouth, you won't know how your friend is going to take this news. You might think you know how they are going to react, you might hope it's going to go well, but until you roll the dice and see their reaction, you won't know for sure.            I'm the author of Befriending Bipolar and I've lived with bipolar disorder for 33 years. In this blog I share 9 tips that may help you decide which friends you are going to tell and how you are going to tell them. I am offering inspiration and ideas, it's not advice. We are all different and handle situations differently. It's up to us to figure out how we explain bipolar to our friends. 1. Use your judgement:         Some friends are more trustworthy or understanding than othe...
