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.

2. Eat a healthy diet, including healthy snacks.
3. Avoid foods that increase stress; such as: sugar, chocolate, and caffeine
