Bipolar disorder can be a complicated disorder. It is unfortunate that many people go many years before being properly diagnosed. This can result in the collection of many negative consequences including relationship issues, self-worth issues, and employment issues. Although all of us benefit with some structure surrounding sleep, nutrition, and exercise, individuals with bipolar disorder need to be especially attentive to self care. Coping skills and stress reduction can also be impactful. Psychotherapy is a very important part of the medical treatment of bipolar disorder. Understanding how this disorder affects you personally is especially helpful in arriving at a plan for treatment.
