Your first steps
- →Get the diagnosis and medication plan in writing, plus a plan for what to do during an episode.
- →Connect with a psychiatrist for ongoing medication management — consistency matters here.
- →Start a simple mood, sleep, and medication log; early warning signs are easier to catch when they're written down.
Questions to ask your care team
- ?What are the early warning signs of an episode we should act on?
- ?How do we keep medications consistent, and what happens if a dose is missed?
- ?Who do we call during a manic or depressive crisis?
