He feels so good that he thinks he is god or superman and those people do not need any medication. The effect of this is that the person will not take his medication anymore and the manic episode will get worse. After the manic episode comes a period of depression what could have been prevented would the person take his medication.
Preparing a good treatment plan is essential to cope with bipolar disorder. A treatment plan exists of a very tight schedule when to take the medication. It also states important information whom to contact when the person has a feeling it might go wrong. Your physician or psychologist might help you on time before the manic or depressive episode is evident.
