Bipolar disorder is a mental illness marked by extreme shifts in mood. Symptoms can include an extremely elevated mood called mania. They can also include episodes of depression. Bipolar disorder is also known as bipolar disease or manic depression. (Health line, 2018).
People who suffer from this condition find it very frustrating and have a difficult time adjusting to daily life without treatment. They have episodes of mania and depression that can last weeks to months at a time. During the mania phase they are euphoric and do things to maximus level and the opposite during the depression phase.
In order to establish a therapeutic relationship with this type of disorder you have to be open minded and nonjudgmental. This way you can encourage treatment. Helping bipolar disorder patients includes teaching them what to expect during their phases and helping them be compliant with their treatment. Medications they will be on include anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and SSRI’s which will help with treating their symptoms. They should also seek psychotherapy in order to be aware of their disorder.
