John12185 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I'm bipolar 1 and I have had two manic episodes one at 30 and one last year at 38. When I'm manic all my HPPD symptoms go away. When I come down from the mania and shoot down into depression they are back really bad. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Hi John, that's an interesting observation and one i'd never heard of before. I can only assume certain chemicals are being released during those episodes that help with visuals, (Gaba?). Hopefully some of the more scientifically minded posters can add their thoughts.

I remember watching this schizophrenic on YouTube who also had HPPD and he never mentioned that and he would say he could tell the difference between his schizophrenic hallucinations and HPPD pseudohallucinations.

brake Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Maybe there is a way to cure or treat HPPD by replicating what happens in the brain during mania without actually inducing full blown mania? Functional neuroanatomy of mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
