novemberbaby Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) I am new to this... My Mom was diagnosed with it about 2 years ago... She was on Lithium and now she is on Depakote.. How do you guys deal with it and still have a "normal life" My Mom has the 2 major symptoms: spending a lot of money, about 30 grand in less than 5 months, drug use, we caught her doing speed... I know there has to be some great success stories out there. I am 27 my Mom is 50 and I am just curious how a daughter deals with it, and is there hope for her , without getting frustrated with the diesease....

JustTrying Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I take litium and Symbyax. AND goto therapy. Does your Mom have a therapist? I found a really good one that deals with addiction and Mental Illness.JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
