Since The Last 48 Hours He's Going Through A Very Strong Down Period With Psychological Distress

Hi i'm a natural and only helper for a 32 years old male since 5 years now. He suffers from bipolar disorder with medication. Since the last 48 hours he's going trough a very strong down period with psychological distress and i'm unable to help, because he believes i'm the reason behind all his problems with on-going text messages that his life is completely distroyed and the cause is me. I tried to connect with father and brother without reply. Please advise.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are very concerned about your friend who is going through a difficult time. You have mentioned that he has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and it is possible that he is in a depressive phase.

If you are unable to manage him, the best thing to do would be to get him to see a doctor as esoon as possible for further help. If you are alone or don't have anyone to support you to do that, then I suggest that you contact emergency services in your place.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
