What you need to do when you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder is to try to rediscover your balance.
This is possible without any extra cost to you if you will just stop to eat the poisons you have been shoving down your throat, remove yourself from the poisonous environment you have been in, and start exercising to get the poisons out of your system.
Even for mental illnesses, this worked in the past, and it still works now.
The best home remedy for bipolar disorder is a diet of herbal tea and a lot of seafood.
Seafood is known to consist of the substance Omega-3 that has the same soothing effects on your mood as lithium does, without any of the adverse effects of it.
The herbal tea compliments this function and allows you to be able to think more rationally and calmly in unfavorable situations.
Add to the above a lot of physical activity and you will find that you are better able to deal with the issues that normally will trigger off your manic or depressive episodes of bipolar disorder.
If you are also able to stare down the memories that set off your condition, you are that much better off.
The catch is to regain your physical and mental balance in spite of whatever happens.
Again, you aren't going to be spending a lot of money to make this happen, and you don't get to subject yourself to any abusive or invasive medical processes for treatment, which makes this home remedy that much better.
