My husband says that they are different. I say they’re the same.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with having bipolar disorder. However, for various reasons, I’m unable to take any medication or visit a psychiatrist, or anything of the sort.

I’m noticing my mood swings are beginning to become more and more severe, and I know I’m putting myself in danger again. Is there anything I can do to help keep my mood stable and reduce dark thoughts?

I feel like I’m fighting a battle unarmed, and I need some reinforcements.
I’m deathly afraid of psychiatric hospitals. I had a bad experience there last year.

I am a parent of an adult bipolar child that needs support and cannot seem to find a group that might be able to help her for support or others to talk to. anyone know of any groups for mental disorders especially biploar?

6 months ago I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 and ever since they put me on lithium and got me up to a blood level of 0.8 I haven’t really felt much emotion. It’s not much better than the risperidone.. I can’t get into music like I used to for instance.. Is there any alternative? like an alternative medicine or electroshock or psychotherapy that doesn’t do this?

i am 17 years old and suffer from bipolar disorder.
i am on medication and see all kinds of doctors and all.,
but what i want to know is, is there a test on the chrmicals of the brain linked with bipolar? and does anyone know how accurate it is?
