have been bipolar since 1995.hospitalized under mental heath act 5 weeks. mother is bipolar and has hade many episodes. grand mother died of shock treatments in mental ward.quit alcohol in 1995 on lithium and epival since then and have had no episodes since then but I smoke pot 5 times a day. is it possible pot helps? how is it that with strong history of bipolar in the family I have had no episodes since then?
Ben's Answer:
Interesting question. I know people who feel that pot has helped them to manage their symptoms, but I also have seen many people become less stable from using pot, and many who first developed Bipolar symptoms after they began using pot. For most people it's risky, but everyone's different. If you've had no episodes for 15 years - that's wonderful!
