Tell Me More About Bipolar Disorder.
10. What do you tell family members if you have bipolar disorder?
Tell family members of the causes and treatments of bipolar disorder. If possible, family members can meet with the doctor to talk about the illness. Family members should be informed of the warning signs for how that person acts when he or she is getting manic or depressed. While the person is well, plan for how family members should respond when they see symptoms. Provide family members with educational pamphlets about bipolar disorder.
