Hello I read your statement and i understand your concernSince you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, your psychiatrist would have started you on initial therapy of bipolar disorder.The initial therapy depends on the staging of your disease, such as for those who are more depressed that manic, Quetiapine along with carbamezapine and lamotrigine is advisedFor those are more manic, then olanzapine given. There are other alternatives anti-psychotics tooCounselling sessions are important in your disease since they reduce much of the psychological factor of the diseaseI advise you to take your medicine on time, increase your social activities such as doing sports, going out with dinner with your partner, going to movie, regular visits to friends and family, and start your psychological sessions
