The first medication approved by the FDA was Lithium, and it is still the most common, especially for children and teens. For harder-to-cure cases, or for those who have had bad reactions to Lithium, anticonvulsant medications (such as those used for people with epilepsy) are taken. Of course, never take a medication like Lithium or an anticonvulsant without the consent and diagnosis of a doctor. Go here for more info: http://www.medicinenet.com/bipolar_disorder/page5.htm

What should you do if one of your family members has a mental disorder?
Support them as best as you can. A mental disorder can be just as hard on loved ones as it can on the person with the disorder. Try to learn as much as you can about the disorder, as well as how to help them. You need to be able to help them without enabling them, meaning you can't let them sink into destructive behaviors or throw tantrums even if it makes them feel better, because it doesn't actually solve the problem. I've found that the worst thing someone can say to a person with a mental disorder is "suck it up", "be a man", "get over it", "just do it." People with mental disorders can't grasp these concepts no matter how obvious they are to others. Pep talks do me a lot of good, no matter how cheesy they are. Also, you need to help them or find help for them. These people cannot help themselves.
