Walking Alongside a Person Diagnosed with Bipolar

Mood changes are just a sign that you are alive, but what about people whose moods oscillate like a bad roller coaster, causing them to be diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder? Are they really disordered, and if so, what is disordered? What about medication? Is there a biblical perspective on Bipolar Disorder? What role would a biblical counselor and the church play in dealing with Bipolarity? Understanding, caring for, and counseling people with extreme moods can be confusing and exhausting. This session will tackle these questions, and also recommend practical ways to care for and counsel those with bipolar disorder.
