Acharya Prashant addresses the nature of bipolar disorder by questioning whether the symptoms described—such as fluctuating identities, inconsistent views, and swinging perceptions of the self—are not fundamentally present in everyone to some degree. He explains that the basic constitution of the human mind is rooted in dualities, which he identifies as the 'poles' the questioner experiences. The mind constantly lives in these dualities, always feeling attracted to an alternative or needing to change into something else. He suggests that because this is the inherent nature of the mind, one must seek to understand the mind's urges, motives, and processes to find an end to this bipolarity. He further posits that since the world and the mind are full of dualities, it is beneficial to venture into the non-dual. Acharya Prashant expresses skepticism that physical medications alone can resolve this, as he views the issue not necessarily as a malfunction of physical cells or tissues, but as a part of being alive that one can potentially break free from. He emphasizes that there must be a strong determination and resolve to investigate the root of these swings and desires. He concludes that while medication is needed, the right medication for such a condition of the mind might not be a physical pill but rather a deeper understanding and a resolve to be free.
