Medications and...: Bipolar disorder usually is responsive to one of a variety of medications. However, a problem inherent to the disorder is that people with it often are least interested in seeking treatment just when they most need it; so, education and therapy to recognize early signs and created support systems can be invaluable in helping the individuals remain stable with this waxing and waning disorder.

They may not realize it & may need feedback from family & friends to guide them to seek professional help. If you have concerns about mental health please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple forms of psychotherapy to have a thorough evaluation & help for symptoms & state of mind; & a Psychiatrist for medication if needed. Have a physical exam to rule out any underlying illness.
