How can i prevent bipolar episodes?

Awareness: Building up awareness of symptoms and triggers of the episode will help with prevention. Having routines to make your environment predictable. Exercise, good nutrition, practicing relaxation, stress management and good sleep hygiene. Creating a crisis card for when the "episode comes", so people familiar with your situation could find you help.
