Managing bipolar disorder without medication can be challenging, but some people have success with a combination of therapy, lifestyle changes, and self-care strategies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help you develop coping skills and recognize triggers. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep can also contribute to better mood management. #bipolar disorder #mentalhealth
