I agree with the others who proposed it's all dependent on the type of person you are. For me personally, I need medication in order to function; I have had great success with a popular anti-psychotic in management of my bipolar & BPD; it's watered everything down, which is a nice change from feeling extreme extremes even though the episodes and swings are still there.
If this is something you're considering, or someone you know that is, I wish you all the luck in the world and hope it's a success.

“For a long time I believed the opposite of passion was death. I was wrong. Passion and death are implicit, one in the other. Past the border of a fiery life lies the netherworld. I can trace this road, which took me through places so hot the very air burned the lungs. I did not turn back. I pressed on, and eventually passed over the border, beyond which lies a place that is wordless and cold, so cold that it, like mercury, burns a freezing blue flame.”
