What does being acute bi-polar mean? I've always been diagnosed with depression so I'm not sure what acute bi-polar means for my sister. I think it means there are mood swings? Like one minute she's up and happy and very excitable and then she's extremely sad with no energy?
I'm worried about her, she's new to the whole mental health thing, 'cause like the rest of my family she's been in denial, people can be so mean to people with a diagnosis of a mental disorder. I hope she's going to be okay.
Is there anything I can do to make her feel better?
