What Is Bipolar II (2)?
10. Treatment
Treatment for bipolar II will typically involve medication. This includes medication that will help to calm the patient during hypomanic episodes, and antidepressants for the depression episodes. Other medication is also available that will help to keep the patient’s mood stable. Psychotherapy is also an important part of bipolar II treatment.
There are different types of psychotherapy that will help the patient to learn to manage their condition. It can also mean getting the patient’s family involved so they are better equipped to help manage the condition, and manage episodes if/when they occur. With the right treatment, many people will be able to live relatively normal and happy lives.
