I don't think more frequent cycles are necessarily the case --I have heard that without treatment, it will get worse with time (obviously there are exceptions). I would think, actually, if you (anyone) is on a good treatment regimen and don't have comorbid issues that might trigger more frequent mood swings, then with time episodes may well get more few and far between. I think this is a reasonable way of looking at the crystal ball. There's no reason you'll get to that point, bipolarnurse, you have a good treatment team, you're going to be okay!!
