I believe these drugs are OTC (over the counter) stuffs and you'll need doctor's prescription to obtain them. It is dangerous to take these medicine without going for a diagnosis or via doctor's recommendation. Suggest that you bring your family to a doctor and get his/ her referral to a psychiatrist. Bipolar is serious so please please take care of your family member and ensure he/ she goes for a check up in the hospital.

It's just like the below reply, there is basically no "cure" for bipolar. It's a disorder and they usually need to be on medication to ensure their mood/ emotions are balanced. No doubt with every medication/ drug there is usually some side effects.

There is a long list here of all the organisations in Malaysia, so run through it and speak to a few whom you think is suitable. Then try out. I do not have any recommendations as one of my bipolar friend was formerly from Singapore back in Uni days and many of us did not know he was suffering from bipolar, as he looked fine when he hung out with us.

As far as I know, there is really no cure to bipolar disorder but only certain medications to help stabilize their mood.

I used to have a friend who's bipolar, he used to smoke marijuana to control his mood. I think it worked for a while but apparently it got worse. (not quite sure if other individuals have other effects)

Not quite sure if he was going for therapy but after his episodes worsen, parents moved out to where idk. Hope he's doing alright.

When he was on marijuana, I don't think you can see the difference. He was quite "normal" la. But when it got worse, he sekejap so happy. Want do this, do that. Talk like mumbling. Then out of a sudden, start crying la. Say want die la. Become like orang gila you know? That time few of the gang scared to befriend him already. Siao liao.

You know it's a mood disorder, so stop saying "orang gila" or "siao liao". Stop being rude when you know it's a disease which they cannot control. Bipolar is harmless towards others as the person himself/ herself usually does self harm. Please treat them with care and take note of their behavior. It doesn't help at all when friends say they are crazy and avoid them. To have this disorder is not something the person wanted, and it's not contagious. He/ she is already suffering from episodes of manic depression so you don't have to add on these harsh words to make it worse.

Man, and there I thought if people understand this disorder better, they will be more open and accepting. Unfortunately a lot of people are still shallow about mental health.

Sorry I didn't mean to put it that way. I understand that it's a mental disorder and nobody wished for it. Poor choice of words from my side I guess. notworthy.gif

Thank you. However, i'm not looking for an apology but for a change in perception and acceptance towards people with mental health issues. As someone around them, it's our role to be supportive and offer help instead of making it a stigma in the society.
