How can you help someone with bipolar disorder?

Supporting someone with bipolar disorder involves patience, understanding, and practical assistance. You can:

1. Learn about the condition to understand mood cycles.
2. Encourage treatment adherence (therapy, medication, routines).
3. Be supportive during episodes without judgement.
4. Watch for warning signs of relapse or suicidal thoughts.
5. Offer practical help with daily tasks during difficult periods.

Compassion and consistency make a big difference. Families in Australia can also access carer support services and NDIS family inclusion.
