Family Transitions: Supporting a Bipolar Millennial Through Change

So other than a bigger room, he loses a dog, he loses his sister. Not having her here, no, that's definitely been...a time, but it doesn't throw him as bad as it used to.
In this episode of 'The Bipolar Millennial', hosts Diane and Jimmy open up about the shifts happening within their household. With their daughter Sami heading off to college and their son Caleb moving out, the family dynamic is set for a major shake-up. As a blended family dealing with the complexities of bipolar disorder, OCD, and ODD, these changes bring both challenges and opportunities for growth.
Diane and Jimmy share their strategies for supporting their son Nick as he transitions to a new room and navigates his mental health journey. They discuss medication management, coping mechanisms, and the importance of fostering independence. Diane's pride shines through as she talks about Sami starting her bachelor's degree, marking a significant milestone for the family. This episode offers a candid look at how one family balances mental health and life changes, providing valuable insights for anyone facing similar challenges.
