In treating Bipolar Disorder I use a 4-Step Plan. This Plan enables you and your family to manage the illness and to create stability in your life and is based on the work of John Preston, PsyD, and July Fast. By using this Plan we create a treatment focused on: medications and supplements while working closely with your medication provider, lifestyle changes, behavioral changes, and recommendations for how to ask for support from the right people. I recommend that you purchase their book, "Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder" as we will use this book to create a powerful and effective treatment approach designed to help you live fully in spite of Bipolar Disorder.
