Being UnNormal

In this episode we talk with Jamie Taylor about body positivity. We chat about the role of self esteem, how the media can affect how we see ourselves, what body positivity is, and how we come to love and accept ourselves no matter our size. 

What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder:
Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that, to others, is either minor or not observable. But you may feel so ashamed and anxious that you may avoid many social situations. When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely obsess over your appearance and body image, repeatedly checking the mirror, grooming or seeking reassurance, sometimes for many hours each day. Your perceived flaw and the repetitive behaviors cause you significant distress, and impact your ability to function in your daily life.

In this episode we welcome guest Christine Ribbens Grimm with the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program out of the University of Michigan. We talk about what bipolar is, the different types of bipolar disorder, and break down the myths and reality of bipolar life. Christine also tells us about the exciting work happening in the program, and information about the longest running longitudinal study on bipolar.

What is Bipolar Disorder (from the Prechter Research website):
Bipolar disorder is best described as a disorder of the energy of the brain. People with bipolar disorder experience unusual and intense changes in mood and behavior. There are two extremes in bipolar disorder: mania and depression. During a manic episode, people feel “up,” and may be much more energetic than usual. Mania is much more extreme than a sudden burst of energy or a good mood. Manic episodes may be associated with high-risk behaviors including substance abuse, sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and even violence. During a depressive episode, people feel “down,” have low energy, and neglect obligations. Bipolar disorder often causes problems in work, school, and relationships and may require hospitalization.
