A client with rapid cycling bipolar disorder is not responding well to lithium. The client tells the nurse, It feels as though I'll never get well. I get better, then I get worse. The reply that is based on knowledge of current therapy would be:
1. You're feeling very discouraged aren't you?
2. It's not all bad, is it? Sometimes you like being high.
