I think the key to bipolar disorder is not taking medicine, but psychological counseling. If you can find a psychiatrist to open your heart, you can only rely on yourself. First, you can buy him books. Second, you can do psychological communication when he is in a good mood and try to meet his requirements. Third, you should spend more time with him, find more friends to communicate with him, psychologically avoid topics he doesn't want to mention, and take the initiative to undertake some housework. The fourth is to keep him busy and occupy all his time. When he is tired, he can fall asleep. Again, don't take medicine, don't take medicine, get rid of society and aggravate the condition, treat him as a child, encourage him to give him confidence, I believe it will get better gradually! Start (a disease)
Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar disorder, is a brain disease that leads to abnormal changes in mood, energy, activity level and ability to perform daily tasks.
There are four basic types of bipolar disorder, all of which involve obvious changes in mood, energy and activity level. These emotions range from extremely "excited", happy and energetic behaviors (called manic episodes) to periods of extreme sadness, depression or despair (called depressive episodes). A less severe manic period is called a mild manic episode.
When you were first diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the idea that you could live a happy life seemed out of reach. It's not easy and takes time-but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
There are three ways to make people with bipolar disorder live a better life.
1. Don't be scared by the name of the disease, don't let it define you.
Take time to think about the way you talk about yourself. What words do you use when you talk about your illness with others? You have heard many bipolar patients say "I am bipolar" or "I am bipolar ..." When you can face up to your illness, you can show that you are strong, you are worthy of love, and you have the ability to recover. Don't let bipolar disorder define you, it's just what you have, just like you have high blood pressure. You won't hear cancer patients say "I am cancer"-even if they have cancer. Whether you realize it or not, language will affect you. When we talk about ourselves in this language, we give too much power to a disease that is not worth having. Making this small change can help you a little.
2. Learn from your experience
The more experienced a person is about something, the stronger his ability to deal with it. Think of every experience you have as a study. If you have made great progress, and then there is an episode, don't think it is a retrogression, try to imagine it as the next progress. For example, if you are in a hospital, don't treat it as an interference to your progress, but as a lesson to get you into that stage. Think of it as having a toolbox. Whenever something happens, learn something from experience and put it in the toolbox, so that next time you will feel something passing by you. When symptoms appear, it is very important to control them with information and tools. You can't always predict when mood changes will happen, but you can predict how you will react.
3. Don't compare yourself with others
Comparison is a happy thief. When you start to compare yourself with others, you begin to decline, and the result of comparison may make you feel that your progress is not so exciting or important. Obviously, great victories and breakthroughs are important, but you can't expect them to happen every day. Rehabilitation consists of small victories worth celebrating every day, and a little progress every day is an achievement. We can easily compare our experiences with others, especially in the era of social media. People say, "Their situation is worse ..." What are you sad about? Although it is important to keep an opinion, it often makes people feel ashamed that everything they have experienced is not "hard" or "sad" enough to be taken seriously. When "there are so many people worse than them", they will be prevented from talking about their problems and asking for help.
If you follow the following methods, bipolar disorder can live a good life: first, accept standardized diagnosis and treatment, choose a specialist, establish a formal medical relationship, do not change doctors frequently, and do not stop taking drugs privately; Secondly, regular psychological consultation and treatment are very important. According to your own situation, it is very meaningful to make an appointment with a psychotherapist who is good at cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, existentialism and psychoanalysis. Learning mindfulness lifestyle is conducive to promoting rehabilitation. It is recommended to read Dr. Bao Zuxiao's Zen Therapy Tetralogy, such as living a Zen life, being your own bystander, awakening the power of self-healing and reconciling with yourself. I wrote an article on WeChat official account called "Do you know these opinions and methods about mental illness? You can read it.
It depends on the severity of the disease. If it is mild, it won't have much impact. If it is serious, it will have an impact on life.
The so-called bipolar disorder refers to a kind of disease with both manic episodes and depressive episodes. Clinical manifestations can be divided into depressive episode, manic episode or mixed episode according to the characteristics of the episode. In severe cases, people tend to be impulsive, destroy things and even commit suicide. Bipolar disorder is a treatable disease that needs long-term treatment, so early medical treatment, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key factors to improve the prognosis of patients.
First of all, we should have confidence in ourselves, exercise more, keep ourselves busy and have no time to daydream. Travel more when you have time, and see beautiful scenery, beautiful people and things.
