How I Rebalanced my Bipolar Neurotransmitters

Learning how to control the neurotransmitters in my bipolar brain helped me to gain control over my condition and keep it stable.

Neurotransmitter imbalances play a central role in bipolar disorder.

Dopamine and norepinephrine levels can go too high during periods of mania or hypomania and too low during periods of bipolar depression. These neurotransmitters are involved in driving hedonistic and risk-taking behaviours associated with bipolar disorder.

Glutamate levels are often too high causing excessive speed and activity levels within the brain, this drives the classic speeded up thinking, lack of need for sleep and agitated thinking. High glutamate levels are quite toxic to the brain and rebalancing high glutamate levels is important not only to keep the bipolar disorder stable but also to prevent accelerated ageing of the brain.

Serotonin levels can go either too high or too low causing depression, or may not be affected in bipolar disorder.

I learned how to read the signs (self-monitoring) that one or more of my neurotransmitters was going out of balance and then adjust my prescription to self-medicate and regulate my condition.

In this video, I describe the journey of how I learnt to rebalance my bipolar neurotransmitters.
