I started to date this guy that has bipolar. How can I help him with his mood swings and how can i make uswork
Question:
Answers:
Suggest he begin a regular exercise routine and eliminate processed, sugared foods from his diet. This is a good start. If this doesn't help suggest he look into medications so that these can help him control his mood swings, but have him do his homework on this very thoroughly and carefully, because the side effects of some drugs can be worse than the condition itself. Also, it would be good for him to get plenty of rest and see a mental health expert.
Other Answers:
Good luck, girl, I married one and I am stuck washing saran wrap. You need to except his problem and reassure the things he needs reassuring. Whatever you do, don't call him crazy!
You're only dating him. It's not your problem to fix. Even if you have been dating him a long time, this is not a problem you can fix. This is an illness that requires medicine and treatment. It can be controlled, but it doesn't go away. When it is under control and the person can lead a normal life, the temptation is very strong to say 'I'm as normal as anyone. I don't need the medicine.' and stop taking it. For a while, it'll seem true because the medicine isn't immediate like Tylenol or a spoonful of cough syrup, it accumulates in the body over weeks and months, but as the accumulation is used up, the symptoms return. You can never give him enough resassurance to bolster his self-esteem, because feeling bad about himself is part of the illness. That may not not be why he's asking you why you like him though. Maybe you're so different from him, he wonders what you really want?
Find a couple of good psychologists, give him their cards, and tell him to give you a call after several sessions.
The word "bipolar" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".
It is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric and pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "bipolar" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".
"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.
"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.
Symptoms that psychiatry labels as "bipolar" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people, for example, have overcome "bipolar" through megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including symptoms labelled as "schizophrenia" [See source refs]
Bottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.
If you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.
