I think people who are diagnosed Bipolar truly have a chemical imbalance in their brain... one that OFTEN times requires medication to remain stable.

this is a THEORY, though. Many psychiatrists don't even subscribe to it anymore.
The "chemical imbalance" myth
it's not that simple.

And I don't know why people are so afraid or worried about having to take medication forever. Like I said, you would obviously do so for the other problems I listed, why is Bipolar Disorder any different? Why would you ever want to stop taking something that makes you feel better and keeps you sane?

Because to many meds don't keep them better or sane. They make them
fatter perhaps... and that's the best case scenario, for some. I don't think people who are having no problems and meds make them feel better want to stop that much. Mostly it's peeps who have horrid side effects or feel they are losing their personality on meds.
