Receiving a diagnosis for Late Onset Bipolar Disorder (LOBD) can be hard for many families, but there are ways you can prepare your loved one for a visit to his or her doctor. To start, write down any symptoms they’ve had, make a list of all their current medications, write down questions you have, and make sure they feel supported during the process. The more accurate information you provide, the better treatment your loved one can receive. LOBD is treatable but will take some time to adjust.
