Treatment: This is such a complex issue. Just so that you adjust your expectation it may take many months and sometime if may take several years to find just the right medications and dosages combined with psychotherapy to get treatment optimized with Bipolar Disorder. This will usually be done in a stepwise progression led by symptom improvement & side effects.
