Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding bipolar disorder, suggesting that the symptoms described—such as inconsistent views, fluctuating identities, and swinging perceptions of the self—are fundamentally present in almost everyone, though the degree may vary. He explains that the basic constitution of the mind is to live in dualities, which are the very 'poles' the questioner experiences. The mind constantly feels attracted to alternatives, perceives errors, and feels a need to change or become someone else. Acharya Prashant questions whether such a condition is truly a physical problem of the brain's cells or tissues that can be cured by pills. Instead, he proposes that since the mind naturally exists in duality, one should strive to understand the mind's workings, motives, and processes. He suggests that the solution lies in venturing into the non-dual and having a firm determination to reach the root of one's desires and urges. He concludes that while a resolve to be well is necessary, the right medication for such a state of mind might not be a physical pill but rather a deeper understanding and a resolve to be free from the necessity of polarity.
