Na TED Full Spectrum audiciji, komičar Joshua Walters, koji pati od bipolarnog poremećaja, hoda po liniji između mentalne bolesti i mentalne "stručnosti". U ovom smiješnom govoru koji pobuđuje na razmišljanje, on pita: Koji je pravi omjer između liječenja ludosti i biti na maničnom rubu kreativnosti i motivacije?

My name is Joshua Walters.

3000
Moje ime je Joshua Walters.
00:18
I'm a performer.
1
3000
3000
Ja sam izvođač.
00:21
(Beatboxing)
2
6000
9000
(Beatboksanje)
00:30
(Laughter)
3
15000
3000
(Smijeh)
00:33
(Applause)
4
18000
2000
(Pljesak)
00:37
But as far as being a performer,
5
22000
3000
Ali kao što sam i izvođač,
00:40
I'm also diagnosed
6
25000
3000
ja sam isto tako dijagnosticiran
00:43
bipolar.
7
28000
2000
s bipolarnim poremećajem.
00:50
I reframe that as a positive
8
35000
2000
Držim to kao nešto pozitivno,
00:52
because the crazier I get onstage,
9
37000
2000
jer što luđi postanem na pozornici,
00:54
the more entertaining I become.
10
39000
3000
to postanem i zabavniji.
00:57
When I was 16 in San Francisco,
11
42000
2000
Kada mi je bilo 16 godina i bio sam u San Franciscu,
00:59
I had my breakthrough manic episode
12
44000
2000
doživio sam svoju prekretničku maničnu epizodu
01:01
in which I thought I was Jesus Christ.
13
46000
3000
u kojoj sam mislio kako sam Isus Krist.
01:05
Maybe you thought that was scary,
14
50000
4000
Možda ste mislili kako je to bilo zastrašujuće,
01:09
but actually there's no amount of drugs you can take
15
54000
3000
ali zapravo ne postoji ta količina droge koju možete uzeti
01:12
that can get you as high
16
57000
2000
a da vas toliko digne
01:14
as if you think you're Jesus Christ.
17
59000
2000
da mislite da ste Isus Krist.
01:16
(Laughter)
18
61000
3000
(Smijeh)
01:20
I was sent to a place,
19
65000
3000
Poslali su me na to mjesto,
01:23
a psych ward,
20
68000
2000
na odjel psihijatrije,
01:25
and in the psych ward,
21
70000
2000
a na psihijatriji
01:27
everyone is doing their own one-man show.
22
72000
4000
svatko ima svoj šou.
01:31
(Laughter)
23
76000
5000
(Smijeh)
01:36
There's no audience like this
24
81000
2000
Ne postoji publika poput ove
01:38
to justify their rehearsal time.
25
83000
3000
koja bi opravdala njihovo vrijeme provedeno u vježbanju.
01:41
They're just practicing.
26
86000
2000
Oni samo vježbaju.
01:43
One day they'll get here.
27
88000
3000
Jednog dana će stići ovamo.
01:47
Now when I got out,
28
92000
2000
Sada, kada sam izašao van,
01:49
I was diagnosed
29
94000
2000
psihijatar me dijagnosticirao
01:51
and I was given medications
30
96000
2000
i dao mi je
01:53
by a psychiatrist.
31
98000
2000
lijekove.
01:55
"Okay, Josh, why don't we give you some --
32
100000
2000
"U redu, Josh, zašto ti mi ne bi dali neke --
01:57
why don't we give you some Zyprexa.
33
102000
3000
zašto ti ne bi dali malo Zyprexa.
02:00
Okay? Mmhmm?
34
105000
3000
U redu? Mmhmm?
02:05
At least that's what it says on my pen."
35
110000
2000
Bar tako piše na mojoj penkali."
02:07
(Laughter)
36
112000
5000
(Smijeh)
02:12
Some of you are in the field, I can see.
37
117000
3000
Neki od vas rade u tom polju, vidim to.
02:15
I can feel your noise.
38
120000
2000
Mogu osjetiti vašu buku.
02:19
The first half of high school
39
124000
3000
Prva polovica srednje škole
02:22
was the struggle of the manic episode,
40
127000
3000
je bila borba s maničnom epizodom,
02:25
and the second half
41
130000
2000
a druga polovica
02:27
was the overmedications of these drugs,
42
132000
3000
je bila prekomjerno uzimanje tih lijekova,
02:30
where I was sleeping through high school.
43
135000
2000
gdje sam prespavao kroz srednju školu.
02:32
The second half was just one big nap, pretty much, in class.
44
137000
4000
Druga polovica je bila jedan veliki drijemeš, više manje, u razredu.
02:37
When I got out
45
142000
2000
Kada sam izašao
02:39
I had a choice.
46
144000
2000
imao sam izbor.
02:41
I could either deny
47
146000
3000
Mogao sam ili zanijekati
02:44
my mental illness
48
149000
2000
moju mentalnu bolest
02:46
or embrace
49
151000
4000
ili prihvatiti
02:50
my mental skillness.
50
155000
2000
moju mentalnu stručnost.
02:52
(Bugle sound)
51
157000
2000
(Zvuk vojničke trube)
02:56
There's a movement going on right now
52
161000
2000
Postoji pokret koji se sada odvija
02:58
to reframe mental illness as a positive --
53
163000
3000
koji zagovara mentalnu bolest kao pozitivnu --
03:01
at least the hypomanic edge part of it.
54
166000
3000
barem dio s hipomaničnim rubom.
03:04
Now if you don't know what hypomania is,
55
169000
3000
Sada, ukoliko ne znate što je hipomanija,
03:07
it's like an engine that's out of control,
56
172000
2000
to je poput motora koji je izvan kontrole,
03:09
maybe a Ferrari engine, with no breaks.
57
174000
3000
možda Ferrarijev motor, bez kočnica.
03:12
Many of the speakers here, many of you in the audience,
58
177000
3000
Mnogi od govornika ovdje, mnogi od vas u publici
03:15
have that creative edge,
59
180000
2000
imaju taj kreativni dio,
03:17
if you know what I'm talking about.
60
182000
2000
ako znate o čemu pričam.
03:19
You're driven to do something
61
184000
2000
Motivirani ste da učinite nešto
03:21
that everyone has told you is impossible.
62
186000
2000
za što vam je netko rekao kako je nemoguće.
03:23
And there's a book -- John Gartner.
63
188000
2000
A postoji i knjiga -- John Gartner.
03:25
John Gartner wrote this book called "The Hypomanic Edge"
64
190000
3000
John Gartner je napisao tu knjigu zvanu "Hipomanični rub"
03:28
in which Christopher Columbus and Ted Turner and Steve Jobs
65
193000
3000
u kojoj Christopher Columbus, Ted Turner i Steve Jobs
03:31
and all these business minds
66
196000
2000
i svi ti poslovni umovi
03:33
have this edge to compete.
67
198000
2000
imaju tu značajku da se natječu.
03:35
A different book was written not too long ago
68
200000
2000
Drukčija knjiga je napisana nedavno
03:37
in the mid-90s
69
202000
2000
sredinom 90-ih
03:39
called "Touched With Fire" by Kay Redfield Jamison
70
204000
3000
zvana "Dodirnuti vatrom" Kaya Redfielda Jamisona
03:42
in which it was looked at in a creative sense
71
207000
3000
u kojoj je u kreativnom smislu sagledana situacija
03:45
in which Mozart and Beethoven and Van Gogh
72
210000
3000
u kojoj Mozart, Beethoven i Van Gogh
03:48
all have this manic depression that they were suffering with.
73
213000
3000
imaju tu maničnu depresiju od koje oni svi pate.
03:51
Some of them committed suicide.
74
216000
2000
Neki od njih su počinili samoubojstvo.
03:53
So it wasn't all
75
218000
2000
Dakle, nije sve bila
03:55
the good side of the illness.
76
220000
3000
dobra strana bolesti.
03:58
Now recently,
77
223000
3000
Sada nedavno,
04:01
there's been development in this field.
78
226000
3000
bilo je napretka na tom polju.
04:04
And there was an article written in the New York Times,
79
229000
3000
I bio je članak napisan u New York Timesu,
04:07
September 2010,
80
232000
2000
u rujnu 2010.godine,
04:09
that stated:
81
234000
3000
koji je glasio:
04:12
"Just Manic Enough."
82
237000
2000
"Jednostavno dovoljno maničan."
04:14
Just be manic enough
83
239000
2000
Jednostavno budite dovoljno manični
04:16
in which investors who are looking for entrepreneurs
84
241000
3000
u kojem investitori traže poduzetnike
04:19
that have this kind of spectrum --
85
244000
3000
koji imaju tu vrstu spektra --
04:22
you know what I'm talking about --
86
247000
2000
znate o čemu pričam --
04:24
not maybe full bipolar,
87
249000
3000
možda ne potpuno bipolarni,
04:27
but they're in the bipolar spectrum --
88
252000
4000
ali oni su u bipolarnom spektru --
04:31
where on one side,
89
256000
2000
gdje s jedne strane,
04:33
maybe you think you're Jesus,
90
258000
4000
možda mislite kako ste Isus,
04:37
and on the other side
91
262000
3000
a s druge strane
04:40
maybe they just make you a lot of money.
92
265000
2000
možda vam oni zarade dovoljno novaca.
04:42
(Laughter)
93
267000
3000
(Smijeh)
04:45
Your call. Your call.
94
270000
3000
Vaša odluka. Vaša odluka.
04:48
And everyone's somewhere in the middle.
95
273000
2000
A svi su negdje u sredini.
04:50
Everyone's somewhere in the middle.
96
275000
3000
Svi su negdje u sredini.
04:53
So maybe, you know,
97
278000
3000
Stoga možda, znate,
04:56
there's no such thing
98
281000
2000
ne postoji nešto takvo
04:58
as crazy,
99
283000
2000
kao što je ludost
05:00
and being diagnosed with a mental illness
100
285000
3000
i biti dijagnosticiran s mentalnom bolešću
05:03
doesn't mean you're crazy.
101
288000
2000
ne znači kako ste ludi.
05:05
But maybe it just means
102
290000
2000
Već možda samo znači
05:07
you're more sensitive
103
292000
2000
kako ste osjetljiviji
05:09
to what most people can't see
104
294000
2000
na većinu onoga što ljudi ne mogu vidjeti
05:11
or feel.
105
296000
2000
ili osjetiti.
05:13
Maybe no one's really crazy.
106
298000
4000
Možda nitko nije zapravo lud.
05:17
Everyone is just a little bit mad.
107
302000
5000
Svatko je samo malo lud.
05:26
How much
108
311000
3000
Koliko
05:29
depends on where you fall in the spectrum.
109
314000
3000
ovisi o tome gdje se nalazite u spektru.
05:33
How much
110
318000
2000
Koliko
05:35
depends on how lucky you are.
111
320000
4000
ovisi o tome kakve ste sreće.
05:39
Thank you.
112
324000
2000
Hvala vam.
05:41
(Applause)
