How to trace the Roots and History with a Mental Health problem/illness/condition

     Arguably, there is no laboratory test applicable to determine whether one is Bipolar or not. The diagnosis is primarily based on individual historical and environmental background. The article aims at giving a personal account on tracing a history with the condition. For my case, after being deeply engrossed in the management, coping strategies, and diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, I hereby ink down the history, which be possibly links to the condition. This is particularly to help in providing a workable framework in self-diagnosing and identifying the key leverage points through a personal point of view, which has been a real deal in managing and controlling my condition and may not necessarily apply to everyone as we all have different historical backgrounds.         For the last twenty-six years, life has been difficult to navigate for myself and the people I love. The trauma of poverty in my lifeline began just one month after my birth wh...

How Does it Feel like to have Bipolar I Disorder?

As a first-degree bipolar youth and a mental health enthusiast, I come open to the public as a survivor of the illness for the purpose of creating awareness and helping vulnerable people to manage and curb the condition respectively. A descriptive word for Bipolar Disorder is a chronic condition characterized by different episodes of mood swings that may vary from depressive lows to extreme manic highs. I experienced my first manic condition at the age of 26, which is concurrent with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report on the common onset age for the condition. In the bimodal distribution of the illness, CDC also reveals that the condition can sometimes show at any age, provided that the underlying factors, such as a chemical imbalance in the brain are triggered.  Away from research, this article particularly focuses on my experience with the condition, which is a period of one year since I was diagnosed as a manic depression patient. I will therefore expla...

A letter to Mr.President written on the day of Inauguration of 5th President of Republic of Kenya

 Dear Mr. President-elect, On behalf of the Kenyan Youths Society (KYS), I want to categorically congratulate you for the resilience, boldness, and indefatigable nature that you and the Kenya Kwanza team at large have shown in the country’s politics. We all agree that from the country’s historical constructs, you eminently rose above the torrents to challenge the system; that has been the case since time memorial. Clearly, you have become a real ‘Man of the People', which every citizen will prove in due course as you get along with your reign, all thanks to God. ‘Chief Hustler’, you fervenutly know the conditions within the bracket and we have no reason to explain all we need since you are and have been a chairman of the poor, the less fortunate, and of all, the competent jobless graduates. From the time of the Supreme Court’s declaration, we felt like the second coming of Christ dawned on us, and with hopes and happiness, we exalted God’s grace.  Your Excellency, as th...

Significance of Emotional Balance in a Political Situation

  Emotional Balance at Peak Instability in a political environment does not necessarily mean a physically chaotic political situation.  In a psychological view, the course of the current acts by IEBC in the ongoing Kenyan presidential elections is geared towards creating an emotional balance. Clearly, the two giants in the forefront are caught in a tight race and the number of the followers can be projected to be weighing at equals. From a historical perspective, there is a potential upheaval between the supporters if the concept of emotional balance is ignored in preparing the final announcement of the 5th President. In this manner, an all-round political analyst will tag IEBC a credible and thoughtful body.  On the other hand, the process of emotional balance can be consequential from the manner in which the loosing crew will respond to the final announcement. In as much as it manages the potentiality of physical chaos interruption, it could possibly result to hidden ac...

Why one should participate in political courses

Today affects tomorrow, Think politically. As a Jahman, I have been nonpartisan, and if it ever happened that I voted, it was not after the 5 year education cycle I had in Moi University, Foundation of Knowledge. I studied Communication and Public Relations, which is more of corporate governance and management. I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree of second class upper division. As far as I am concerned, this is not a bad grade so you can trust my opinion regarding the ongoing Kenyan politics.   Having read about and seen the past political history of my country, I lost hope in the corporate sphere and decided to throw it all for my passion and interests. My resolution to keep up to the fast unravelling world of blockchain technology and digital economy began from there. Thus, I have relocked my hair, tattooed my face and stored my Sports Marketing enthusiasm in a corner to create a platform on my own. Clearly, the past country's political trails show that those wit...

Impossible is Nothing

  Extreme is Normal Let’s say Big is Paranormal for 99% of Kenyan youths. For instance, when you seek the percentile’s opinion about the champs like L. Elon Musk, they think it is impractical to a commoner or requires extremely big resources. However, I am passionately writing to challenge the perception. Come to research about it, just like most youths aspiring to succeed in their careers and (/) or businesses, the tech giant’s key skill is engineering. Alongside, he has a skill-set of knowledge that gives him a niche in multiple disciplines necessary in his daily businesses operations. Being successful primarily entails self-realization and manifesting your visions. Upon developing a vision, a process that covers all the levels of schooling alongside life experiences, you get limitless in terms of opportunities. It therefore make no dream to be too big!      The whole Kenyan education system of 8-4-4 / 8-4/ 8 is all about self-realization. It is an assumption I d...
