Which advice would you give to someone who has just been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder?
Advice for the newly diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, written by people who have lived it. What they wish they had known on day one.
Start making efforts to track symptoms and moods. Look up peer-reviewed professional research and educate yourself on the disorder as well as treatment options. Educate yourself on medications, and the side-effects of those medications. Mood stabilizing prescriptions have a wide range of potential side effects and some work better for different types of Bipolar than others. The most important thing is to work on self awareness, and know that even though there is a stigma behind the disorder, you are not crazy or weird!

You must recipnarte that "your life changed" literally forever, from here on out follows to the letter the advice of your psychiatrist.
Once the psychiatrist succeeds with the drugs, that give you the improvement and you feel equal to any person, there is that you must have the strength to not abandon the treatment.
Respect the hours of sleep daily is extremely important.
Make fitness a routine helps you socialize and keep your mind and bodies active.
Do not use alcohol or drugs.....outcomes fatal.
Find out about any hobby, whether it is to play domino, cards, etc
The loss of concentration is normal, but don't let the reading, the cinema all you like.
I hope will serve to get the improvement that I found.
