Drugs. You may need to start taking medication to balance your mood right away.

Temporary treatment. Bipolar disorder requires lifelong treatment with medications, even when you're feeling better. People who skip maintenance therapy are at risk of recurrence of symptoms or minor mood changes turning into full-blown mania or depression.

Substance Abuse Treatment If you have problems with alcohol or drugs, you will also need substance abuse treatment. Otherwise, bipolar disorder can be very difficult to manage.
