who said it was easily solved? money and therapy isn’t the end all, be all but it certainly helps and should be pursued. it sounds like you’re making excuses for him not to get better

What evidence is there that Bipolar even exists? These labels have no medical validity. You cannot prove anybody has Bipolar.

Its all subjective, psychiatry is a load of horsehit

bipolar is actually a ridiculously dangerous thing

13% of bipolar people commit suicide, higher than depression and schizophrenia

the mania can be extremely destructive. you can end up in jail or hurting people just because youre essentially psychotic

the depression can obviously be crippling and the combination of mania and depression is very confusing to people who dont understand it. once they do understand it they will label you as crazy because you are in fact crazy

the key to controlling bipolar is to understand that THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE HARDER YOU FALL!!! This is EXTREMELY important to understand. Being manic feels really good and you can make it much stronger using d**** or by not sleeping, or just by having a lot of good things happening in your life. But the stronger the manic episode, you are GUARENTEED to have an equally strong depression

The other thing is there are these mixed episodes that can happen. This is when you are depressed and manic at the same time. Far away the most dangerous state of mind. You have tons of energy and your very racy/psychotic, but you feel like S***. Very sad or angry. This is when people commit suicide or get arrested

Lastly, if you think youre bipolar, go to a f***ing psychiatrist (PLEASE do not go to a psychologist they are USELESS). You need medications. F*** what anyone says, you NEED medications. Without meds, bipolar has the WORST outcomes for any mental illness. You have literally a 40-50% chance of completely ruining your life. If you cant afford a doctor honestly id find alternative d****, legal or not. I rather have someone take a klonopin or 2 every day and be mildly stable than have some sober f***ing mercurial mess. Bipolar people dont react to d**** like normal people. Finding the right relationship with d**** is the best way to mediate your illness

Edit: its very important to understand what psychosis is. People think of schizophrenia when they think of delusions, hallucinations, etc. But bipolar can be just as strong in these areas as schizophrenia. This is dangerous because people wont notice that your'e actually losing touch with reality until its too late. Thats why medications are so important, they prevent that from ever happening
