Can i have some tips on bipolar disorder and how to tell parents:?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just tell them.: Have you been definitely diagnosed with bipolar disorder? How long? Are you being treated with it. It is important that you tell your parents because they might be able to tell you if any one on both sides of their family have been diagnosed as well because this condition is inherited. It might be useful for your children as well.
