A close friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I did my research about this condition and want to help them. I know such a medical condition requires very intensive care and attention but I still want to help them. The person is very dear to me and I am unable to find a credible professional to guide me, tell me more about and the specifics. Can anyone help?

Hi,
It depends on where you live, if you cant find a psychologist/or a specific doctor, visit a local doctor who might give you good references in your area.
Hope this helps.

Bipolar Disorder

ANYONE GOING THROUGH BIPOLAR PLEASE DM...I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME

I think i need therapy. But my parents won't understand it. And i can't afford it. 

Mental Health

I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but I am too scared of starting treatment, I have an eating disorder too and I am scared of putting on weight because of lithium, my partner is not supportive because he thinks that mental disorders are not a « real thing » and that treatment will only screw me up, I am confused, my relationship puts me through so much pressure I want to leave, but I am scared it is just my disorder that’s pushing me to leave, everything feels so draining 

Hi I’m a diabetic teen who’s dizzy but my parents refuse to believe me 

How can I get my parents to let me talk to the doctor alone?

Physical Health

I need to take therapy for the issues I'm facing as a young teenager with diabetes and lipodystrophy but my parents are not allowing they just keep delaying it they don't see the importance it holds . How do I tell them

Frustration

i dont want them to know the actual truth, at all, it will haunt me ik but i dont want them to know i am feeling so terrible anxious a lot and have been having depressive episodes

Anxiety

Therapies are tough.
I wish it were like medicines that you get from your physical health doctors.
Knowing that you'd be taking it for 5 days or may be a month. But then that's it. 
You'll get a test report and you'll know what's wrong, that's it.

But here. You keep struggling to attend the next therapy session, and till that time you live in the anxiety of thoughts. The dilemmas of abandoning it altogether or keep going because after some point of time you'll be miserable and you'd literally cry and beg for help. And you'd know that you'd go to that same person.
It's annoying.
