9. How to Help Someone in a Manic Episode

Loved ones of someone who is experiencing manic episodes may be concerned or frustrated by their behavior. It's important to remember that manic episodes are a condition that requires medical assistance. They aren't anyone's fault and sometimes only doctors can help.

Someone in a manic episode may not sleep or eat properly and providing easy meals or quiet spaces could be helpful. Loved ones should be honest but arguments and debates are often unproductive when someone is in a manic episode.5‘Bipolar Disorder: Helping Someone During a Manic Episode.’ Bipolar Disorder: Helping Someone During a Manic Episode | Michigan Medicine, www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/aa167725.
