Any ideas why she having a bone marrow test she has a low white blood cell count ?
what does this mean ?
cheers x

bipolar is when a person fluctuates between mania and depression. you probably know what depression is and how it affects someone - they are very sad, irritable, sleep a lot or can't sleep much/at all, change in appetite, etc. mania is characterized by high energy and extreme euphoria, it can lead to impulsive behavior like shopping too much or having sex with random people.
the best thing you can do to help is just be supportive; once she gets on medication, the swings should become regulated.
the white blood cell count can be an indicator of a few different things. i'm not doctor, so i can't speculate on any of this. have you considered asking your parents or your sister?

Just say what you feel is right to say. Just be there, talk to her. Having a low white blood cell count leaves your body vulnerable to diseases. White blood cells help fight against things like the common cold and the flu. But without white blood cells you'd get really sick from just common sicknesses.
