Bipolar Disorder is affecting over 5.7 million adults in the U.S. alone, that is not even including children. Worldwide there are over 250 million people affected by Bipolar Disorder. More men and women are being diagnosed everyday with different types of Bipolar Disorder as time goes on and we need to understand this mysterious mental illness.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Millions of Americans each and every day are continually finding out they are suffering from some sort of mental illness, many after living 40, 50 and 60 years repeating the same patterns every year of their life without any help to fix the problems.
We are dedicated to helping everyone that has bipolar 1, bipolar 2 and any other type of bipolar disorder to help understand the education behind dealing and coping with this mental illness. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life wondering if you will be a slave to your mental disease, you can start taking control one day, one episode at a time. Over time with the proper therapy, training, medication and AWARENESS, you will be able to make slow and steady progress towards living a more “normal” life with bipolar disorder.
One of the main problems individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder have is having to take medication everyday for the rest of their life to treat their disorder. It is possible to relieve yourself of the medication, many people have done it. However, each individual is different and this is important to remember, as not everyone can do without anti-psychotics and antidepressants to help control the depression and manic phases associated with bipolar.
Some people can remain on medication for years before they might attempt to come off, while others can use it for a few months or not even at all. Cognitive behavioral therapy and other forms of therapy from certified therapists or psychotherapists can be a backbone in helping patients gain the tools necessary to take control of their bipolar disorder, many of which have done so without the use of medications.
Whatever you do, ALWAYS discuss your options with your doctor, especially when it comes to taking yourself off of medications used to treat any disorder. Failure to talk with your doctor and follow their instructions and treatment, including taking medications and attending regular maintenance therapy, can result in very damaging experiences and consequences to one’s life and health. DO NOT attempt to be your own doctor, they are here to help, so let them.
