Hi! The best way to help youth with bipolar disorder is an integrative, holistic approach through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and functional medicine (to assess for and treat any bio-chemical and nutritional deficiencies through nutrition, supplementation, herbs, alternative therapies), with an addition of conventional pharmaco-therapy (medications) if necessary. Thank you for your question!

Best regards,
