Hello,

Bipolar disorder is treated by psychiatrist only. Treated by lithium or antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications.

Treatment depends upon the severity of disease, frequency, age and body weight. Please consult your psychiatrist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
