SP207- Bipolar self-help coping strategies
Although Bipolar Disorder management begins with professional medical treatment, there is a wide variety of other coping methods a person can make use of throughout their journey.
Important coping strategies:
• Educate yourself and your family members. Reading books or magazines, using the internet and simply asking others who have dealt with bipolar, is the first step into understanding what you are experiencing and why.
• Take responsibility. After learning as much as you feel is necessary for your understanding of bipolar, take action and remember to stay up to date with your medication and doctor appointments.
• Stay positive. Positivity is a key component needed while experiencing any disorder.
