Friend Going Through Highs and Lows
A close friend of mine goes from super energetic and impulsive to completely withdrawn and exhausted within weeks. I’m trying to support them but feel lost. I want to understand better options. Can anyone share insights on treatment for bipolar depression vs mania?

I’ve seen that exact whiplash: a friend of mine could be buzzing with big plans one week, then barely answer texts the next. The big thing I learned is that mania and bipolar depression usually need different treatment plans, so one-size-fits-all advice gets messy fast. This overview helped me make sense of it: treatment for bipolar disorder type 1 vs type 2 . A psychiatrist can match meds and therapy to the phase, which matters a lot.
