Question by Nani: How do you deal with a seriously Bi-Polar loved one when he/she is in denial?
Recently, I noticed a pattern in a loved one’s behaviour. It was an eye-opening experience, because she had all the classic symptoms of being Bi-Polar and then some. During her manic swings she is the most positive and loving person on earth, and generous to a fault. During her ‘depressive’ moods she’s like a pit-viper, angry, sullen, and ready to seriously maim the heart and spirit with cruel criticism, insults, and ridicule…even in front of other people. I’ve witnessed her vascillating between the two modes several times in one day. Yet, when I mention that she might get some medical help, she vehemently counters that there is nothing wrong with her, it’s just her. I worry about what this is doing to her physically as well as mentally. Any tricks for coping, other than just running away and hiding until the ‘bombing’ stops? I’ve already tried leaving informational brochures around for her to find. It makes her mad. She won’t even allow a discussion.

U are going ot have to wait until they finally realize, if not then you should give them information on signs and symptoms and let them know it is very common. 3 out of 10 people are Bi-Polar. Without medicine, or treatment it will only get worse. They really need help because they can not help the way they act. I am Bi-Polar, so I know.

I knew some celebrities who suffered under this dangerous concept called “Addiction”. But they managed to take treatments through some best rehab centers and got recovered from their addiction disorders. Yet these people have created a great impact on the public, especially teens and made them understand that addiction is a dangerous disorder.
Some of those celebrities list which i came across are,
Tara Reid
Diana Ross
Ben Affleck
Robert Downey Jr

Question by Katie D: What are some good teen books about disorders?
I read the book “Cut” but Patricia McCormick, “Perfect” By Natasha Friend, and I’m reading “Massive” by Julia Bell.

What are some other good ones about mental/personality disorders?

Even if they’re not teen books, I want some good ones.

Answer by Cheyenne
Go Ask Alice is a really good book. Its about a young girl with drug addictions. Its really emotional. And probably not anything like you would think. But, I won’t ruin the story line.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is also really good. Its a bit disturbing, though, in some points.
I reccomend The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, as well.
