Bipolar Beat

In Bipolar Disorder For Dummies, we devote an entire chapter to the topic of building a winning mood-management team. For many with bipolar disorder, the team consists of a doctor (who manages the medications), one or more therapists, and family members. Teams can also include friends, mentors, people you happen to meet through a support group, and others. If you’ve managed to assemble an effective mood management team, please share your experiences and insights. Who’s on your team? What role does each person play? What sort of assistance do you find most helpful?
