bipolar prescriptions
These are some techniques that can help when it goes to the side of the depression of bipolar disorder.
1) If the idea of suicide comes into your mind then call 1-800-SUICIDE.
2) Call a friend. Find someone to talk to. It may often be difficult because of the shame of telling someone that you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well as the shame that can come along with the feeling of helplessness. Do not be nervous! Quickly find that friends immediately jump to help.
3) Do not be alone. Call a friend or family member. A very important part of combating depression is to maintain contact with people who care by the majority.
4) Eat healthy
5) Take your prescription, vitamins and fish oil per day
6) Avoid excessive sleepiness. This is naturally going to happen to you when you get depressed, but can be detrimental as it will feel even more tired and therefore even more depressed. I think sleep in excess is one of the worst things you can do when you are depressed despite the natural tendency.
7) Understand that you have a disease and not their fault. Many times people with bipolar are associated with a madman who must be locked in a mental institution. This is absolutely not! There are many of us out there who suffer bipolar disorder and still have a normal life. Bipolar patients have even a greater number of university professors that the average person?
Treatment Depression is like any other disease. Try different remedies, including recipes and exercise. Remember that what works for one person with depression can not work for all people who have depression. Talk with friends and family.
9) Whenever you feel overwhelmed to the point of major depression, call a physician. In fact, if you're bipolar, you MUST have a doctor at all times.
