He had and appt for this week but i was scared that he wouldnt make it till then so after him trying to hurt himself last night i had him locked up . I am really sad it came to that but it really was for his own good and only 72 hr as long as treatmeant goes well . I love him so much . I guess my question is with medication can he live a normal life without all this heart ache. The look on his face was misserable to see . I didnt want to leave him there . Broke my heart cause it looked like i just threw him out with the trash . I plan to go to visitation tomarrow tho . Reply to this Question

ktmae,
I am so glad to hear that,just keep in mind on what I told you about making sure to let them know if anytime you or him don't understand what they are telling him,Also tell him to keep a positive attitude and keep looking up.
Good Luck on his appts and therapy sessions

ktmae is verified as being by the original poster of the question yea that is why i am glad the place he got into ... they make him attend groups . some of them are to explain what it is and what helps things like that the others are therapy . he is exited because he said he finally feels like he has a chance at a normal life . suppose to actually get the call this afternoon on his first real appt with the doc

ktmae,You mentioned that the doctors just told his what the problem was and gave him some meds,but didn't explain anything.One thing that I have learned from being a patient as well as observing patients and their family member with the doctors.I'm gonna tell you that most doctors don't take the time to explain the problems to the patient nor the patient's family and in order to understand what's going on,the patient or the patient's family has to say to the doctors,Hey I don't understand what you are saying,Please explain it to me,because if you don't ask or tell the doctors.Like I say,most of them is not gonna explain it,so I say to you.Anytime you see a doctor for something and you don't understand what he is saying.Tell him and like I said ask to explain it to where you can understand.

ktmae is verified as being by the original poster of the questionok so he is out and on meds and things are good so far.he really is a good person he looks and feels so much better and we have found out a few more facts on how to keep his mood swings down. He was just diagnosed with this 2yr ago and all the doc did was tell him the prob and give meds didnt explain what was going on or things that can help along with the meds.So far these docs have been great his bi polar is not very severe but it is enough that it takes a lot of effort on his part to keep it at bay . So far even tho only been a few days he is doing alot better . Thank everyone for listening

Yes he can live a normal life as long as he stay on his meds.I am a witness to this,because I have a female friend who is bi-polar as well as a sister-in-law and they are living a normal life,of coarse they have appointments with their doctors just to make sure things are still going ok in order to keep have their meds refilled.The key thing is,that he are gonna have to stay on his meds.I know that when you give out of your meds and it's gonna be a little bit before you can have the money to get a refill,certain meds the doctor's or pharmcy will give you just enough to hold you until then.

 How severe is his bi-polar condition? Have you ever been with him prior to him takin meds? Do you know what he was like before he started taking the meds? Because it sounds like he's prone to going off the deep end when he doesn't take his meds so I think the probability of him living a normal life without his meds is highly unlikely.
