It is essential to keep in mind that there are a number of bipolar medical treatments and helpful strategies to deal with bipolar and many people live well despite disease. However, bipolar disorder can affect people differently. Some people have very frequent episodes. Many people suffer from bipolar mild persistent symptoms. Even mild depressive symptoms can affect daily functioning. People suffering bipolar must be aware of their vulnerability to overstimulation and sleep disruption because they can trigger mania or hypomania. In addition to taking bipolar medication, modifying and regulating their lifestyle helps many people keep well. If you have a bipolar spouse who seldom has a bipolar episode and is largely free of symptoms, your relationship may not change much, except when they get sick. Bipolar in the family can mean that you have to take on additional responsibilities at home or financially. Every relationship has its ups and downs and bipolar can aggravate the conflict. Coping with bipolar family members can be a challenge for other family members as well. Having a bipolar adult child can make it difficult to know when to enter, especially if they are struggling to control their disease and experience of some of the most severe bipolar effects (eg financial consequences or relationship breakdown). Some adult children with bipolar parents may feel that they have always had a parental role. Siblings may feel aloof, as if the emphasis is always on their bipolar sister or bipolar brother. They may fear that they will get bipolar too.
Research has shown that caregivers or bipolar caregivers are at increased risk of developing depression and other health problems. Members of the bipolar family can neglect their own health (for example, do not exercise, eat unhealthy food, miss appointments medically necessary, even neglect their own hygiene) as they devote themselves to caring for their sick relative. There are useful ways to cope when a loved one has bipolar.
