How to help manage BPI

2 people working together

It may be stressful to think about the future when your loved one is facing bipolar I disorder, but management is possible.

A long-term treatment plan can help people with bipolar I disorder manage their symptoms, which in turn can help them return to and/or continue participating in activities such as socializing and going to school or work.

There is no single treatment that is right for everybody, so each patient and their psychiatrist will work together to find the best medication and lifestyle choices for their situation.
