How to deal with someone who is bipolar?
Supporting someone with bipolar disorder requires understanding the condition's cycles of mania and depression. During manic episodes: stay calm and ensure they are connected to their mental health provider. During depressive episodes: offer presence without trying to fix. Set and hold boundaries around behaviors that harm you. Most importantly: take care of your own mental health too. Lovon supports both people in these relationships — including those caring for someone with a mental health condition.
