AMY GOODMAN: I don’t think you described that point where you tapered off and what it meant in terms of what happened to you. NERMEEN SHAIKH: Well, I mean, one of the things that you say is that there was a huge shift in public policy regarding mental health in the mid-’80s that made healthcare so much—healthcare for mental illness so much more difficult to access for so many people. When we come back, we’ll go from that UCLA adolescent psych ward to the salt flats of Bolivia, where so much of lithium is. And I think that’s why a lot of times they’re kind of like woven in together, where you’re trying to self-medicate with either, you know, drugs or booze or whatever. I thought people could figure that out. But lithium is—the problem is, is that there aren’t more tests done on lithium for other applications, because there isn’t a market for it. The definition, as I understand it, for bipolar disorder would be that there is a period of manic highs followed by a cycle of depression. Like, this is who I am.

And so, I remember it was sort of like they would rotate babysitting duties with me. JAIME LOWE: Sure. For me, I come from like—I think I just have never really had a filter.

In an interview with parents Friday, Elizabeth McBane, mother of two high school … NERMEEN SHAIKH: Well, one of the strange things, which you also point out, is that there’s still—despite this massive prevalence of mental illness, there’s still a kind of social stigma that’s attached to it. Copy may not be in its final form. I know that very few people have that. AMY GOODMAN: We want to thank you for being with us, Jaime—. I’m going to barter for things. But, you know, I say that I’m really lucky, because I can do that. JAIME LOWE: Right. For me, it does. And it’s also—I mean, it’s like they are paid almost nothing, and then they’re trained. A lot of people, it doesn’t work for. JAIME LOWE: That’s true. But I really don’t know. I mean, there are so many things that are just beyond imaginable. So, I did it. But they all had sort of seen this pattern of disarray, mental disarray, I guess. AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!

JAIME LOWE: I think that that’s how some people see it. What does this mean? And I think, even though it sounds terrible, I just let go of everything and kind of collapsed and realized that I needed to kind of re-evaluate. So that’s something that many people who are bipolar experience. And if any of them had said like, “Oh, you’re experiencing mania.

And that’s what I work for. We rely on contributions from our viewers and listeners to do our work. And I think that a lot of—you know, there was this comprehensive study of research from the past 40 years that basically said that sexual assault victims are associated with mental illness. This really isn’t like a”—. AMY GOODMAN: Nine years after you started it. This is the way that my life played out. I was like a menace to everyone on the ward. Like I have a distinct memory of like just a little taste of calm. Nobody really still knows how it works.

I know what I go through, and I know what other people go through based on that and based on what they tell me. And that was the bad part. And I think that then each episode is also a trauma in itself, because they’re really, really intense, really, really kind of—they sort of shift the way your life moves, and it’s like a different narrative then.

NERMEEN SHAIKH: According to the American Psychiatric Association, bipolar disorders are, quote, “brain disorders that cause changes in a person’s mood, energy and ability to function.” Bipolar disorder used to be called manic depression. I had to go through a lot before Dr. DeAntonio, who was the head of adolescent care there, diagnosed me. I remember sitting there with him. Jaime Lowe is an American writer.

I sometimes just tell them to call my mom or my dad or my stepdad or my stepmom. And this was like the thing I had not experienced with lithium when I was first prescribed it. It’s why it’s hard to get mentally ill people to stay on medications, as the side effects can be really severe. AMY GOODMAN: And were you self-aware? There was a moment of clarity, and I think it was only after being worn down for so long and so many times by everyone around me, that I remember—because they all—all of my parents continued working during my second episode, because they had no idea how long it was going to last, and they couldn’t afford to not work.

I thought I knew secret tunnels to Neverland. I remember the deli. My family is completely not—they’re very Reform, and we’re not on that trip.

JAIME LOWE: So, lithium is the third element on the periodic table. And then I had—it worked so well, actually, that I—with my psychiatrist, once I had moved to New York after college, we decided that I could like taper down, try life without lithium, because—, JAIME LOWE: That was—I was 25, so it was about—. AMY GOODMAN: —and for writing this book, Mental: Lithium, Love, and Losing My Mind. We rely on contributions from our viewers and listeners to do our work.
