If your friend is an adult, he can seek help from your local mental health department. Encourage him to get professional he[p. Clinics are usually run by the county.

Look for Help: If your friend does have bipolar disorder it is important for him to get the help he needs. In your area their should be resources for help which are low-cost and do not require insurance. One way to check on these resources is by contacting local hospitals or emergency rooms. You can also seach for "public mental health clinics" in your area. The key thing is to get your friend the help he needs.
