Depression Treatment Care

It is very common to use two or more medications together to treat Bipolar disorder. Often, the compound effect the two med’s have is what will help treat the person.
I am Bipolar and have been medicated for over twenty years. Periodically, the med’s need readjusted or changed. I am currently taking three medications with fair success.

Although the cookies and milk thing was cute, on a serious note read up on the illness. It can be very difficult to deal with a manic person. If the person in on medication for it, you should have no problems with dealing with them, but knowledge of the illness will help you in dealing with the mood swings. Also be a good listener cuz sometimes the depressions kicks in and the crying will start and you will have to know what to say and what not to. No criticism about their illness helps too because its pretty uncontrolable emotions that are flowing through that person. I have been diagnosed as manic depressive and sometimes i just want someone to listen and just not say anything and sometimes i dont want to be bothered with anyone. I am one of the lucky ones that has dealt with it for years and have been fully functional in everyday life, 2 jobs and law school. Good luck

I was just told that i have Bipolar Manic Depression Disorder (BPMDD) and i am worried because i feel as if i am broken. I am worried because I don’t know anyone else my age who has it.

My husband has bi polar – you need to see a decent pyschiatrist who will talk you through your options…he will choose the right medication to suit you ….it is also important not to have to much stress in your life…..best wishes xx

You need to help them get on medication. It will change the situation completely.
