I believe it is possible to be med free...things that I would think would be helpful

1. Find a p-doc who believes in managing bipolar without meds
2. Find a therapist that supports med-free and specializes in cognitive behavior therapy
3. Complete a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) to better understand your symptoms and what action plans you can take when symptoms ramp up.
4. Find an intensive program that uses individual one-on-one time and small groups to learn and practice various skills

It takes much work...it can be done!
