Hopefully y'all know me as I have been posting here (tho not too often) for many years now. I am worried about my nephew. He is in his early 40's and was diagnosed many years ago as bipolar 2. He has been on many different medications thru the years and tries his best to control his issues ..... but lately the meds just aren't cutting it and he is having a very rough time. It has gotten to the point where he is willing to consider alternative methods to control/fix the problems he is having. As you all know I turned to Christ and am 25+ years sober due to His strength. But aside from trying to enlighten him into a life of faith does anyone have any other recommendations? I'm looking for any good books on holistic/homeopathic methods, cleansing methods, etc.... Anyone with 1st hand experience with bipolar? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As you have testified yourself, your faith in Christ has helped you to be sober. Are you setting aside the Gospel when you try to minister to your nephew?
Worldly wisdom can be of some help, but our only real deliverance comes through Jesus.
My son was diagnosed as bipolar. Once he hit rock bottom, and when coming up from that, he turned his attention to Christ and asked to be baptized. He's still not where I would like him to be, but I do see slow improvements, and he is now faithful to go to Sunday worship and is plugged into a small group with one of the pastors.
Now that he is more open to 'alternatives', I intend to do me best;)
