Regular medical visits are important if you have bipolar disorder. So is talking openly and honestly with your doctor. You and your doctor should work together as partners in your care.
Your illness can affect your mood, and your doctor needs to know how you’re doing. He or she may need to change the amount or type of medicine you’re using from time to time.
Ask about your illness and the medicine your doctor prescribes to treat it. Make sure you understand when to take your medicine. Know what the possible side effects are. Feel free to ask about any specific medicines or treatments that you think might help you.
Prepare for your next medical visit with the 1on1health® Your Next Appointment form (PDF Format).
