Treatment for Bipolar Disorder is most effective with long-term management, starting with a thorough assessment and working out a treatment plan with mental health and medical practitioners.
Medication may be prescribed by a medical professional to stabilise the mood episodes. The type of medication that could be prescribed include mood stabilisers and/or antipsychotic medication, antidepressants, or anticonvulsants.
Psychological therapy can help to manage the stressors and triggers for episodes and to improve wellbeing and functioning.
Other allied health therapy or supports is often used alongside medical treatment to support wellbeing holistically.
