Be a special friend to loved ones who are bipolar

All too often, those with problems are not aware of them. A friend can help another by gently pointing out examples of illnesses of others to help one who mimics those examples. Bipolar illness is difficult to understand, even for the most educated. It is even more difficult to accept that there is an affliction. Medication is necessary for all forms of bipolar. If you think not, take note of those who want to throw up their hands and try to make it without. Within days, symptoms reappear and triggers set off episodes. Be a good friend. Don't be embarrased to call changes of behavior to another's attention. Bipolars don't realize the changes as they happen. It is only when they once again face the haze that they know the darkness is about to settle around them. By then, the medication regimen must begin anew.

Be a special friend to loves ones who need our compassion and understanding. I don't have all the answers, but can most assuredly find those who do.
