We Can Learn the Signs of Bipolar Disorder Mania

 We can do anything once we know what we are up against. When I was finally diagnosed with #bipolar disorder at age 31, I had an answer to the eternal question of, ‘What is wrong with Julie!?” This gave me a platform to change. I learned about the illness and came up with a management plan. It’s in my books. I use it daily. It works for anyone affected by bipolar disorder. Parents and partners are my focus and believe me, you can learn to help someone with bipolar disorder even if the person doesn’t want to accept your help right now.


 


You can- we can- anyone can learn the signs of this very obvious and easy to spot illness once the signs are listed. It’s not complicate to recognize bipolar disorder once you know what to look for.


 


Here is one of my most popular articles from BP Magazine called Letter from a Manic Person about the not much talked about dysphoric manic episode that plagues many of us with the illness.


 


As you will see in the comments, the most common response is, “Oh yes! I have seen this in myself or my loved one many times and I simply didn’t know it was part of the illness!”


 


Let’s educate ourselves about bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder. We can change.


 


Julie
