Depression got a lot of news in books, articles and talk shows. On the other hand, mania is rarely noticed. Among the various books on bipolar disorder, there are some lines, sometimes paragraphs, and few pages for dealing with arrogant people. In addition, most of the content written is about hospitalization advice.

However, in this era, it is very difficult for anyone to be hospitalized, especially those who are as smart and persuasive as manic people. So, when a person who is important to him or her is in full swing of a manic episode, is this a caring person?

Dealing with arrogant people is chaotic at best. He or she constantly tests everyone's limits, manipulates others' self-esteem, exploits the vulnerability of others, and predicts responsibility.

People who love that person may lose their balance. They need ballast resources. Although the maniac is flying high, so full, so convincing, so strong, he or she does not seem to collapse, especially if it continues. However, in the end, fanaticism will go away on its own, and it is almost always accompanied by deep dark depression. This is when the possibility of suicide increases dramatically, and it is also time for supporters to need a lot of power.

However, unfortunately, when mania is in depression, family members are exhausted and lost, and may have missed making appropriate decisions in response to their loved ones. From a downward position, the enthusiasm of the people they love is powerless, and they are suddenly pushed to a position that requires a response to the frustrated direction and authority of the person they love.

The resulting feelings of impotence, guilt, confusion, and self-blame can only weaken a caring person, making this person more vulnerable to insults and countless accusations. Here are some ideas and suggestions on how to survive in the madness of a loved one.

A manic person may be convincing, especially if he believes he has no problems. You may find yourself wondering if your loved one is sick. Remember, this is a disease that can have fatal consequences.

2. You must be firm in your heart, and know that you are working with a person who, although seemingly in control, insists that he is completely in control of himself, but has actually lost control completely, if not his current situation, then his situation. May take his direction. Remember that his judgment is flawed for the things that are most beneficial to him.

This can be very unfaithful, but it may be the kindest and most responsible attitude you can have. With this attitude, when necessary, when your loved ones plummet, you will be able to take on the responsibilities you need. Believe him, believe that he knows what is best for him, just like trusting a five-year-old child, knowing that playing in the street is dangerous, can let him be killed.

3. If you succumb to your doubts, you may be attracted to the reality of your people, which will only make you feel more crazy and self-doubt. It is important to keep the shield as resistant as possible to this feeling. Knowledge and awareness are the best tools, as well as professional guidance and support for those who care about you and understand the people you are experiencing.

4. Don't try to deal with mania yourself.

5. Find a psychiatrist who understands the emotional disorder and build a strong alliance with the person.

6. Join a group to deal with the enthusiasm of the people they love. If your spouse or partner has bipolar disorder, find a group for the man who is dealing with one of the mania.

10. Read, go to lectures, and study bipolar disorder. Become a member of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance [DBSA] and the National Association of Mental Disorders [NAMI] and receive their mail.
