MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
each person deals with death and his or her own way. It has nothing to do with the diagnosis in
It is normal for everybody to grieve. Everybody deals with loss differently.
I guess my concern is that grief could affect the person to a degree where their judgment is impaired and they discontinue meds, etc. I'm not sure if that is a valid concern.
Stress can make people more vulnerable so I would look at potential ways to reduce any additional stress.
As someone with mental health issues I don't like to be seen as different. Be sensitive and compassionate but don't alienate the person. They are a person with feelings first and foremost. Bipolar, I feel, is secondary.
The doctor may be aware of implications. As long as the condition is managed they, or you -if we're talking about yourself, should be OK.
