Question

Due to us being African therapy is rarely available 😞☹️..what can I do to help her find her happy self again?

Answer

Hi! Why do you think she has bipolar disorder? And how old are you?
I have bipolar disorder since I was about 17. I have heard from friends who are African and struggling with mental illness that it’s hard because parents don’t really think it’s a real thing. So I’m sorry to hear that.
Depending on where you live, I’m not sure what the process is. Usually she can talk to her doctor and start the process of getting a diagnosis. If she can’t afford therapy, there are usually some centres where they can provide free counselling or support groups. The best treatment for bipolar disorder is usually medication. Are you in Canada by any chance?

Answer

I have type 2 bipolar. Why do you think she has any form of bipolar? You can only offer her help. You can’t make her take it. Don’t force it. Express your concern, but there’s not much more you can do besides just be there for her. That doesn’t mean you have to get her help

Answer

Understand it and listen to her. Everyone is different but if you understand her you will know how to react and to make her comfortable.
