Patience is required
I had a daughter that was diagnosed with childhood bipolar disorder. It was so hard for us as a family to deal with what was happening to our family. As a family, we had to learn about bipolar disorder. There were times when my daughter could not bear to be around me. Instead of giving up on my daughter, I did research to learn about bipolar disorder. I realized how much my daughter’s demeanor was affected by her illness. I had to make the effort to understand what my daughter was suffering. Patience is required. With support, those who are ailing can find great relief from their distress.
