How do you treat someone with Bio polar disorder and what are the symptoms?

- cutting
- extreme actions
Bipolar Disorder is also know as Manic Depressive Disorder
The person with bipolar disorder would have "highs" and "lows". Everything is extreme. So he/she could be so happy, energetic, have all the hope in the world, one day, and the next be so depressed, feeling hopeless and having no desire to live. Another day he/she could have so much rage over something so small. For example, someone took a bite out of his/her piece of pie, he/she notices it, and goes into a huge rage. Throwing things, yelling at whoever took the bite, may punch the wall or something. This is over a bite of a piece of pie..
Treating:
Start seeing a psychiatrist. It is treated with medication and also life style changes makes a big difference with moods. Mixing alcohol with the medication basically makes the medication not work. Going to sleep around the same time each night is important too. You'll want to do everything you can to help, medication does not do EVERYTHING. It also helps to have support from family and friends. Talk to your psychiatrist about what you can do you help the person with bipolar disorder.

Can you class a driverse license be taken away if you are bipolar?
No. The only situation that your license can be taken from you would be based on your behavior. You would need to be placed on temporary or full conservatorship from the court.

I have found it good sound advice not to tell to employers, insurance providers or anyone else who is not looking out for your best interest. There are laws that protect people with mental disabilities but not always followed by the general public due to ignorance. There is still a great stigma associated with mental illness.
They must be an immediate danger to themselves or others. There must be a pretty obvious danger.
There's a fine line between immediate danger and not.
Those that can admit a patient to a hospital must be certain that the person is a serious danger; if not, that physician/licensed clinical social worker/psychiatrist can be sued. This fear of law suit keeps many people out of hospitals that might be able to benefit from the hospital admission.
Social security rarely checks how SSI and SSDI is spent. Their main concern is whether you continue to qualify. This is determined by the continuing existence of the qualifying disability and if you are doing work that they have not approved.
Is being schizophrenic a good thing?
No. Being schizophrenic is not a good thing. A person who is schizophrenic sees things that are not there, hears voices of things that do not exist, and imagines connections that are not real. As a result, such a person strikes out and attacks others. Small children can especially suffer from being around such a person. On the other hand, if a schizophrenic person is willing to take his or her medicine and get it under control and keep it that way, the devastating problems could be turned into assets. Instead of seeing connections that are not there, it becomes possible to see connections that others can not see. Instead of screaming at someone about some crazy idea in the middle of the night, it becomes possible to make brilliant investments. The abilities that are destructive in a schizophrenic can be used to make money if used in a sane person. I have added a link that will be helpful. This is a mental illness that requires medication usually.

How do you get over depression?
The best way to get over depression is to see a psychologist. Must be are unable to conquer depression without seeking professional help. Things that help when you are depressed are: music, exercise, friends, family, or anything else that makes you happy. Exercise is often the best way. Asking questions is the first step.
If you're thinking about consulting a doctor, don't. Taking antidepressants is a false effect and have side effects. All drugs are poisons that you take in your body, and yes antidepressants might help for the first few days and you could be happy; as time flies the thought you thought were gone are back in your mind, having depression again. Taking more antidepressants each day or week will become addicting. It's like having a alcohol and cigarette addiction. DRUGS MEAN MONEY. The only was get over depression is to change who you are now and live the better life Like again: music exercise, hang out with your friends or family, or anything that makes you feel happy and comfortable is the best way to get over depression

In the end, you are the one who must make an informed choice.
How quickly will the side effects of citalopram take to go away?
Never stop Citalopram cold turkey! It is very important that you work closely with your doctor and withdraw from the antidepressant very slowly. The length of time it will take to get over the withdrawal depends on the dose and how long you have been on this medication. Withdrawal Symptoms: Citalopram hydrobromide (Celexa) and other selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors (SSRI for short) are known to cause withdrawal symptoms in people who quickly stop their medicine.
Certain Citalopram withdrawal symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
* Irritability * Agitation * Dizziness * Burning or tingling sensation * Anxiety * Confusion * Headache * Insomnia * Tiredness. If your doctor is weaning you off slowly and you are still having some of the above symptoms your doctor may put you back on the medication and wean you off even slower. Again, it's important you work closely with your doctor. Many people can come off this medication without further treatment.
What percent of suicidal people commit suicide?
When you say "suicidal people" you probably mean people who are at risk of killing themselves. This risk might be low or moderate or high and it can change from day to day, week to week, month to month. The 'risk' level can only be ascertained by a rigorous assessment for suicide procedure by a competent, qualified person. Only after a person is found dead and it is believed that they died by suicide can you begin to analyse any information (from medical practitioners and other professionals, friends, relatives, neighbours and anyone who knew the person well) that might help you to understand the state of mind of the person at the time that they decided to take their own life.
Also some people who kill themselves do so 'out of the blue' that is without anyone suspecting that their state of mind is such that they are 'at risk of suicide'. One study concluded that up to 45% of suicides may be in this category.
So it is not possible to answer your question with a number. Anyone that you believe to be "suicidal" should be encouraged to seek help from a qualified health care practitioner as soon as possible.
