I liked the video, however I was diappointed at the end (why I am looking forward to the final episode: the cure)
This thread makes my brain hurt, however,
I have seen a Bi-polar 1 "switch".
I have seen an epileptic "switch".
I felt my brain "switch" from normal to a major depression in a very short time. I felt it "switch" back to full remission twice, (although short lived). Beyond frustration.
My feeling is that some of us are simply prewired and at risk for a mental health illness, and environmental stresses (physical and/or mental) usually cause the "switch" effect.
To explain major depression without a stressor, maybe that indivual's threshold is very low (more nature, less nurture involved.)
