by David Oliver

If you have bipolar disorder, you should be taking medication to control it. You also should be following a good treatment program that involves seeing a doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist. However, there are other keys to living a happy, healthy bipolar lifestyle. I'll go over a few ways here, but you can find more at my website devoted to bipolar disorder.

Keys to Good Physical Health

1. Practice good sleep habits. You should get 8-9 hours of sleep per night.
2. Eat a healthy diet, including healthy snacks.
3. Avoid foods that increase stress; such as: sugar, chocolate, and caffeine
4. Avoid alcohol and drugs
