May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.

My sister has Bipolar Disorder, which was diagnosed in 2006. She has been well up until November 2010 when I noticed her being "different" again. I told my Mom about it (since she lives with my Mom) but for some reason, Mom never brought her to see her psychiatrist again.

Hi. I got Diagnosed Bipolar Manic Psychosis in 2014. Went into psych hospitals 2014, 2015 and 2016. Didn’t last year or this year.. yet. I hacw No support or help or encouragement from family, church(I’m a Christian and most churches believe mental illness is a sin, or the ones I’ve gone too, do believe that), some friends. Most say things are just all in my head when it’s not. So I dont Know.

Opiates and bipolar do not mix well. I am clean of methadone 2 1/2 years, bipolar 1, and I totally believe that opiates can temporarily calm the symptoms of bipolar, yet many doctors, who are not bipolar would disagree. My experience was like this: The opiates worked great, for several years, for pain, mood, pretty much everything. Heroin feels good, that is not a secret, Oxycodone is a form of synthetic heroin, so I don't know how a doctor wouldn't know it makes bipolar feel good too.
When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I didn't know of any relatives who had it. I didn't even know it was genetic til a friend told me several months later. But when I went to see a new counselor at the beginning of this year, one of her first questions was "What family members have it?" I told her I didn't know of any, and she said there was no way I had it, but no one else in my family did.
