Answer #1

in general if she does happen to have it they will prescribe medication for the specific help she needs,lithium, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines. and during periods of bipolor depression they’ll prescribe a anti depressant or a mood stabilizer. also you’ll need insurance for the visit and medication if she has it.

Answer #2

if she doesn’t have insurance try a local guidance center, they can help.

Answer #3

How old is she? No doctor’s going to prescribe psychiatric meds to a minor without informing the parents. If she’s of age, the only way to control bipolar is through medication. And if she’s self harming, she needs to see a therapist

Answer #4

There is not much you can do but prescribe mood helpers she is nice but sometimes a little crazy getting mad for stupid things and laughing at nothing but is nice.
