I, _______________________________ realize and acknowledge that the contractor (above) is able to recognize signs of my illness (Bipolar Disorder), whether they are signs of mania or depression.  If in his/her opinion my illness seems to impede on my normal day to day functioning I will trust the contractors judgment knowing that if i am ill my own judgment is frequently impaired.  I promise to follow his/her directions regarding the seeking of treatment for my illness.

This Bipolar Help Contract entitles the contractor:

  • to tell me if he/she thinks that I am ill
  • to suggest I contact a doctor, psychiatrist or psychiatric unit
  • to contact a doctor, psychiatrist, or hospital in order that
    psychiatric help be provided to me.

At no time shall I reproach or become angry with the contractor for fulfilling the terms of this contract.  In return for his/her efforts I pledge my gratitude and friendship.
