Bipolar Interview Report

What did you learn and how will you apply this to your professional practice?
I got to interview the patient who has bipolar disorder with mania symptoms. At first, I was very nervous because she was loud and hyperactive. Later, I found that because of her diagnosis her mood changes frequently. Even though, she was loud, she was cooperative to talk. She understands her diagnosis and she knows that she need to stay longer in the hospital to get better. Most importantly, what I learned today was the communication skill is very important to talk with the patient. In future, I will continue to have proper therapeutic communication skills with my patient. Overall, it was productive day for me.
