Will my sister return to her usual self?

Post Reply New Topic

Last month she had her first ever bipolar manic episode. She has been taking mood stabilizers as prescribed by her psychiatrist since then, but she’s still odd.
She’s definitely doing better than she was in early April, but she still doesn’t seem herself.

I don’t think she’s manic anymore, but why is she still peculiar?

Is it just taking a while? I miss her.
She’s at home right now (she’s an adult), but… it’s just not quite right.

This is my first time being around someone experiencing bipolar mania.

The thing with mood stabilizing drugs is that they can suppress both good and bad moods, and basically make you numb to everything.

Which doesn't seem a problem in my case. It's my bad moods that end up getting worse.
