"Hi, I'm Patti German, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in New York City. In this clip, we're going to talk about how to make a bipolar marriage work. Bipolar are two extremes of moods and affect. It's either being very, very depressed or very manic, so bipolar situations need to be managed by medication. One needs to go to a psychopharmacologist at that point to prescribe the correct medication for it. And understand that it's it's; bipolar is not something that someone can control. It needs to be controlled and and monitored through medication. And it is a problem, it is real. It is not fabricated. And again, through the medication the extremes in someone's affect can be maintained and controlled. And how you find a psychopharmacologist is, of course, this is a psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. Again, this is Patti German, in New York City."
