Men and women are different. I call it the male\/female continuum. All of my coaching clients know this topic well. We can’t treat men with bipolar the same way we treat women. I have posted an article below that has NOTHING to do with bipolar, but it has everything to do with how men think and what they like. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, there will always be a few who are different, but after 8 years of coaching men and coaching women, I want to celebrate our differences. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Men need activity. Men need their male bonding. Men need THINGS. Men don’t talk as much. Men do sports to communicate. Men like to be with other men in large groups. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When looking for help for a MAN with bipolar, don’t expect them to respond in the way women do. Find blogs and books and websites that are for MEN.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The man in this picture is Jens Voight. He does not have bipolar. He is a guy and the article linked below is such a perfect example of how men think. Let’s learn from men and come up with a management plan that works for how they think.<\/div>\n

Read this article<\/a> and revel in the very maleness of it all. We need to celebrate men. \u00a0If you are a man with bipolar and the ultra talkative approach to managing mental health is not working for you, think of what you need. What makes you happy? What works for you and then find a health care professional who can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Straight or gay- non binary or super DUDE, men are different from women and need special bipolar treatment. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
