| Topic | So I was officially diagnosed as Bipolar |
| chaosbowser 11/12/18 6:55:08 PM #7: | As for if it'll last for life? Yeah its a life long mental disorder. There is no cure for it mostly management of the highs and lows. Treatment of Bipolar with lithium usually works in 5ish days. Oops_All_Berrys posted... Doesn't that stuff turn you into a zombie tho? Yeah. It really kills the highs...a little too well. It seems to be the standard though.There are a few alternatives though and if he's having major depressive episodes there's usually also an anti-depressant given. Finding the right combo of anti-psychotic/mood stabilizer and anti-depressant can take time which is why following up with the psychiatrist until you reach that point is super important. DrVonRupee posted... If your manic highs are mostly just fuck money then I feel like you can definitely get some help and live a normal life. It depends on if "fuck money" doesn't run him into massive debt during a manic episode. Its probably affecting his life in some way. --- I love people. I hate people. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
