Mental Health - Bipolar Disorder

[smack]

Hi,

Does anyone here work in mental health that I can speak to regarding the above subject. Please PM.

Thanks.

Are you asking on behalf of yourself? If so you should visit your GP.
My mum was bipolar and it's not a nice condition.

Thanks for the reply, but very few GP's have any training or knowledge on the subject of mental health.

It is someone very close to me. A family member who is a doctor, and had done psych training has diagnoised this, but I want to speak to someone in mental health for more specific infomation, and what I can do to support. Contacting the local Mental Health Unit sounds like a good start.
