[Troubleshooter]

The biggest problem with bipolar is medical compliance.

People want to take the meds when they are depressed and not take them when they are manic. Manics are just as useless as depressives due to the quality of work they produce, not as a person mind you, but as an employee or a workmate.

You can't do that.

Meds will smooth the road.

Also anything she can do to add an element of consistency to her life on a personal level will help.
