Knowledge is power, and grasping the basics of bipolar disorder can give you the power you need to detect it, accept it, and own the responsibility for treatment and lifelong disease management.

● The Stabilization phase and acting on it: starting effective medication, accepting the disease, and treating different types of bipolar disorder
