You can use a gentle, soap-free cleanser such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Simple Face Wash, or Minimalist Gentle Cleanser. Wash your face twice daily, avoid harsh scrubs or strong acne products, and follow with a light moisturizer to keep your skin healthy and comfortable.

What should I do for my bipolar disorder?

For bipolar disorder, take your medicines regularly as prescribed and do not stop them on your own. Keep regular follow-ups with your psychiatrist so treatment can be adjusted if needed. Maintain a fixed daily routine, good sleep, healthy diet, exercise, and avoid alcohol or drugs. Counseling or therapy and support from family also help a lot. With consistent care, symptoms can be well controlled and quality of life can improve.

What is the minimum dosage for Lithosun SR Tablet?

There is no fixed minimum dose that applies to everyone. Lithosun SR contains lithium carbonate (400 mg per tablet), and its dosage must be individualised based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and regular monitoring of blood lithium levels. The exact starting and maintenance dose should only be determined by a doctor, as lithium requires close supervision to ensure both safety and effectiveness. Never start, stop, or adjust this medicine without medical guidance.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression for eight years. Despite taking multiple medications, I'm still not happy.

Living with bipolar disorder and depression for so long can be exhausting, and it is understandable to feel discouraged even while taking medicines. Sometimes medications need review or adjustment, and therapy, counselling, routine, sleep, exercise, and strong support play a big role, along with tablets. Please do not lose hope; many people feel better with the right combination and regular follow-up with a psychiatrist. If you ever feel overwhelmed or unsafe, seek help immediately.
