When people are diagnosed as bipolar, do they usually need medication?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bipolar treatment : A lot of times, folks with bipolar disorder do not want to believe they have a problem. So, if they took meds, they would then be admitting they have a problem. This situation is quite common in fact, and results in an individual often times getting themselves in a great deal of trouble. In severe cases, the person may find themselves in jail or a mental hospital.
