What treatments have you tried for bipolar disorder? What works for you?

The most helpful therapy I have had was keeping a mood diary and then see the patterns over the month. It helped to work out my triggers.  I also found deep muscle relaxation tapes helpful. It's hard to relax when your manic but with perseverance it got easier.  The more relaxed I got the less manic I got. One thing that helped me focus in periods of mania is painting no specific image just formation of shapes and colours but it helped me to focus my mind and completion was part of it.

Hello everyone,

treatment for bipolar disorder can be very different from one person to another, and it often takes time to find what works best.

What has helped you the most so far?
And is there anything that has been harder to manage or less helpful for you?
