She won't take a bipolar test! ?!


Question: She won't take a bipolar test! !?
One of my friends I THINIK has bipolar disorder!.
She has the same symptoms that I had before I got my pills!.

She refused to go to the doctor!.
I've told her that it's just going to get worse!.

She tells me she's fine!.
I know that's a lie!.

Any suggestions on how to make her go to the doctor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I can totally feel your love for her!.
Unfortunately you can't help some one who doesn't want to be helped!. But you can try to talk her into going!. Just sit her down and tell her your worried and really want her to go see a doctor, tell her to do it for you (put her on a guilt trip, it sounds mean, but its for her own good if there is something wrong!. She will be thanking you later!.)
If that doesn't work, go to the parents and just let them know!. They could probably get her to go!.
Also, she might be scared, offer to go with her, and tell her everything will be fine!. Just be by her side and comfort her, a doctors office could be a scary place!.
Good luck, hope shes ok!. (=Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not everyone who's bipolar ends up needing medication or therapy, although therapy is always a good idea!. Some people are able to keep it under control!. There are three types of bipolar disorder, you have to remember!.

Also, someone showing bipolar symptoms is not necessarily bipolar!. Hormones, diet, natural energy levels, etc!. all play a part!.

I don't have any suggestions on how to make her go to the doctor!. If she doesn't want to go, don't force her!. All that'll do is push her away from you, which means she won't turn to you if she DOES need help in the future!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hm!.!.!. that's a tough one if she's reluctant to go!.

Perhaps you can talk her into going with you to your doctor to see what it's like!.

If she won't listen to reason, there's really no way, I would suggest sitting down and talking to her seriously about it, but if she's already decided that she doesn't want help, she probably won't listen!.

Just keep trying to talk to her, maybe she'll realize what's best sooner or laterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I am bipolar and I would never tell anyone even when my parents knew!. I would just tell her that she needs to go, and that'd it make you happy and make the friendship not fall apart from her being how she is now!. And if that doesn't work then just get a doctor to come over if you can, and then he will just get a few samples to see if she is!. I hope this helps!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well you can't force her, but you can educate her and let her make the decision!. Its probably uncomfortable for her to talk about it so why not send a link!? Just don't put too much pressure on her, and if it starts to affect her work and social life then you may want to talk to her parents or one of her girlfriends as that presents a red flag!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just a thought but maybe she has a lot going on in her life right now!. maybe somethings going wrong at home or school or something!. just ask her if there is something wrong and if she says nothing look her straight in the eye and demand that she tells you what is wrong because you know somethings up!. this could be the cause of her lashing out and stuff a lot of people do that when they're under a lot of stress!. hope all turns out well :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell her shes bipolar and she reminds you of that Hot N Cold song by Katy Perry lol!.

Nah just be like it's not a bad thing, I just wanna help you out!.
