I have bipolar disorder, coudl it be caused by domestic abuse, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bipolar Disorder : May have been exacerbated by or trigger by domestic violence/ abuse. That does not mean it was the cause. What to do? Are you receiving help for your bipolar disorder? If not, getting mental health assistance is very important. If you are living in a home with domestic violence -if you elect to remain, then it would be very important to have a safety plan. This would allow you to leave before it.
