Bipolar: Old Photographs and New
Published: Sat, 02/09/13
Hi ,
How are you doing?
I hope you're doing ok.
You know I have a lot of people that
work for me, right?
Well, I have some that have worked for
me for a long time...
And some that don't work for me any
more.
Do you want to know the difference?
The people who don't work for me any
more stopped learning.
They just kept working off the knowledge
they had learned before, and it was outdated.
I run a company that is always changing,
always growing.
And you just have to keep up with it.
If you don't keep up with the growth, and learn
new things, you just can't improve in your job.
But the people who have stayed, have done just
the opposite.
They don't keep going on old knowledge.
They keep up with current trends.
They keep learning new skills.
They keep improving, so they keep getting
better at their job.
That's why they are so valuable to me.
You have to learn and progress.
It's one of the things that I teach in my courses/
systems.
That you have to keep learning more and
more about bipolar disorder.
You can't just keep going on the knowledge
you learned when your loved one was first
diagnosed.

Here's an example:
We all have old photographs, right?
If you are a parent, every year your children
get pictures from school.
Well, you don't keep every picture every year
and display them (or else you'd run out of room,
wouldn't you?).
Each year, you probably replace the old one
with the new one.
It's like replacing old knowledge with new
knowledge.
It's not like you throw the old photographs
away, you still keep them.
You never forget them.
You just may put them away in favor of the new
ones.
Because there's always growth, you see?
Here's another example:
Say you have a garden.
You can't keep growing new flowers or vegetables
off old soil.
You have to keep tilling that soil each year.
You don't get rid of the old ground, you just till
the old ground, making room for new ground.
Again, like new knowledge on top of old
knowledge.
So here's how it relates to bipolar disorder.
(You knew I'd get there eventually, right?)
The point of all this is that you need to keep
learning and progressing.
If you have a doctor who doesn't do this, then they
may not be the best doctor for your loved one.
If they are like the employees I talked about in
the beginning, are they really doing a good job?
The best doctors I know continue learning.
They keep researching.
They read journals all the time.
They check the Internet for new information
all the time.
They attend seminars.
They go to lectures.
They go to symposiums.
Sometimes they're even the guest speakers!
They attend bipolar support groups and even
learn from supporters what their problems are
with their loved ones and learn that way.
They sometimes discuss difficult cases or problems
with other doctors or specialists so that they can
learn.
If your doctor isn't doing these things, and just
keeps doing what they learned years ago, then you
might have a problem.
Because new things are being learned about bipolar
disorder every day.
Check up on them.
Ask them questions.
If they hesitate, or if you think you know more than
them, then there might be a problem, just like there
was with my employees.
You have a right to the best treatment for your loved
one.
And you need a doctor who is always learning new
things about bipolar disorder.
What do you think?
