If things continue to feel like they’re shifting, maybe give the treatment team a call and try to avoid a full on catastrophe. I think the key to managing bipolar is being proactive to avoid full on episodes.

I don't know where he obtained his information, but I definitely don't agree. his information is naive, and even dangerous. My 20's were rough with BD; the 40's were sheer hell. My energy level was way down by my late 40's-50's; having to deal with depression and mania is much more draining. Last time I checked the highest rate of suicide in the U.S. was among seniors.
