This means that people who normally experience a lot of depression might flip into a mania they don\u2019t know how to control. \u00a0Or, a person will go in and out of mania more often than normal. This increase in mania is hard on everyone.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nMania is much harder to manage than depression as it has a short treatment window.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How are your mood swings? If you love somebody with bipolar disorder, what are you noticing about your loved one\u2019s mood swings!<\/p>\n<p>I focus on general bipolar education on my Instagram page @JulieFast. \u00a0It\u2019s my goal to teach bipolar disorder through images and fewer words.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see long form writing, please join me on my Julie A.

If you\u2019re a family member or healthcare professional, please join me on my private group The Stable Table \u00a0on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t like meds, but I am taking my meds for this mania. \u00a0Bipolar is serious.
