Bi polar 1 son refuses treatment

Any and all books by Dr. Kay Jamison. She has bipolar, is very successful and candid about this dreadful illness. I too am bipolar and went through crazy years and put everyone around me through hell. I finally had 12 ECT’s which worked to somehow adjust my disorder.

Thank you so much for the recommendation! It sounds like you have found help and in turn hope. That’s what I wish for my son. Right now he seems to be between the highs and lows - which is a relief , but I do at some level find myself wondering when things will take a turn. If they do (& I pray they don’t) perhaps he would consider ECT. He really wants to avoid medication and how badly it made him feel. ( hence, why he refuses to be on it ). Thanks so much for your reply !!! (:

I checked out some of Dr Kay Jamison’s work - has helped a lot. Thanks again for the recommendation!
