Coping and Support



From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
I've had bipolar friends who just don't listen when I tell them, "You need to call your psychiatrist," even though I have bipolar disorder myself and am a writer and advocate about it. I find myself avoiding them after awhile because of their triggering behavior. But what if it's your husband or wife, your parent or child?

Back To School Special
Information on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for children with mental illnesses and rules for kids taking prescription medications at school. Also: an inside look at teens with bipolar and school, and a fantastic video on Educating and Nurturing the Bipolar Child.

When Do You Say Enough is Enough?
Your spouse or partner, a sibling, a parent, a grown child has bipolar disorder. He or she refuses to get treatment, take medications regularly, or perhaps to follow the doctor's recommendations. What do you do? Do you break off the relationship? Read Ann's story and then tell yours or give your ideas.
