From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
There are plenty of things I do that I know I shouldn't. Today, for example, it was having four Twinkies for lunch instead of real food. Impulse buying at Amazon.com is something I need to stop. (Fortunately, I was able to curb the impulse to buy a treadmill today.) I should stop letting dishes pile up in the sink - and on the table - and on the floor. But there are also specific things to stop doing if you have a medical condition, including bipolar disorder. This issue is all about those things.

About.com Health has a "10 Things to Stop Doing" marathon. From fibromyalgia to cancer to weight loss and everything in between, here are more than 30 articles from our Health Guides to alert you to ways you might be sabotaging yourself or someone you love.

10 Things Not to Do Regarding Bipolar Disorder

Help yourself or your loved one by learning what not to do if bipolar touches your life.

Don't Tell Me How To Get Over My Bipolar
Related to the item above - all too often people dismiss the idea that someone with bipolar illness needs treatment. Sometimes it's "think happy thoughts." Sometimes it's "pray harder." True stories from readers illustrate the dangers of these types of statements.
