Why should I know what triggers my bipolar symptoms?

It's important to learn what triggers your bipolar symptoms so you can understand how to avoid symptoms and perhaps reduce the amount of medication you have to take. Knowing your triggers can help you become attuned to any warning signals that an episode is on its way. Then you can take preventive steps and find the help you need to mitigate the situation and get you through.

Understanding your triggers empowers you to reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes, and also gives you hope that you can have some control over your illness. For those of us with bipolar disorder, an illness that often makes us feel powerless, any control we can gain strengthens our self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy. Knowing your triggers and tracking your moods can also help you take some responsibility for your bipolar disorder, putting you in the driver's seat to set treatment and life goals with some hope of achieving them.

Tracking your triggers and moods can give you some objectivity and perspective on the nature of your illness.
