From what I understand it is a very common problem of people who are bipolar to stop taking their meds while in a "manic" phase. I wonder if there is anyone here, either bipolar themselves or with a friend or family member who is, who has any advice on how they convince themselves to keep taking their meds right through the manic phase?
