Bipolar Disorder - Loved Ones
Since I founded the Mental Health Source Page, I have received many emails from family members and loved ones of people who suffer from bipolar disorder. These emails are heartbreaking because by the time family members write, they are often very desperate and at their wits end. Often, I’m asked for advice about what they can do, whom they can call or reach out to, and when they should give up.
These are personal questions that outsiders often cannot answer appropriately or adequately. Especially in cases where children or individuals can face violence - where physical or emotional harm may be involved - family members may want to consider formal intervention. Bipolar Significant Others (www.bpso.org) is a website that is dedicated to supporting family members and significant others of those who suffer from bipolar disorder. I’d recommend any family members who face this tough dilemma to visit the BPSO website.
