-FROM THE VIDEO:
"There are many videos on YouTube that talk about what NOT to say if someone has Bipolar Disorder. I made one myself - and it's been a popular video, but there's something missing from it. Something very important. I didn't talk about things you CAN or should say. In fact, you'll probably have a hard time finding ANY videos online that talk about what TO say. It's a tough because if someone is severely symptomatic, there might not be anything you can say without triggering a negative response. It's like walking on verbal egg shells and I know how frustrating this can be – to say the least. If someone has Bipolar Disorder and you can't reason with them, it probably means that the person you care about is temporarily unavailable... That their symptoms have gotten stronger than their ability to cope with them.
Timing can be everything when it comes to successful communication. Knowing when to engage, and when to take a step back. The only way to know this is to talk about it. Have a plan in place for the bad times. Talk about what works and what doesn't because it's different for everyone.
All that being said, here are 10 approaches or suggestions you might try if the person you care about is struggling with Bipolar Disorder symptoms..."
