Is there a way to beat bipolar disorder?!


Question: Is there a way to beat bipolar disorder?
Counseling doesn't work, meds don't work wtf am I supposed to do just live in misery for the rest of my life? How do I beat this?

Answers:

I have a close cousin with Bipolar Disorder and she's found the same problem most of her life. Through support by her family and moving around to see different doctors a lot they've finally gotten her on meds that help her and a doctor that's very good. I think it's just a matter of finding the right one. I am sorry you have this illness but even though it was a tremendous struggle for my cousin to work through hers and find the right place for her she's happy now- it just takes a big effort. She had big problems too by the way, possibly worse then yours, but DO NOT give up hope. There is always someone there to guide you on the right path. Keep searching. God Bless!



Counseling will probably not fix it, but it can help (but doesn't have to). There are SO many medications to be tried for bipolar disorder, and so many combinations of medications to be had. I had been on zoloft-nothing. I had been on Abilify-nothing. I am on synthroid for a thyroid disorder and take Lamictal. I also am on trazodone as needed.

Like I said, it's all about the combination of drugs. Bipolar disorder is so complex, I highly doubt most medications are useful by themselves.



There is no cure. How do you beat it? First you need to accept it! It's in you for life, get used to it. I know, I have BP. But once you accept it, and I me truly accept it, it gets a a tiny bit easier.

Accept it then transcend it through self analysis and education. The net is there as a big, big library - read what Freud wrote about neurosis - it's on the same lines and full of insight.



I dont think so but in time im sure it will become easier. I dont know much about it, but things will get easier; Im sorry you have to suffer such an awful illness.



Try ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy). It's awesome!

WINNING!



have a mexican stand-off with it.
