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.

Now it's time for you to take control.

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

The Post-stabilization phase and living with it: undertaking long-term maintenance, accepting your new identity, and coming to terms with your responsibilities, and the responsibilities of your caregivers
