There's various people on the boards who are med-free, or who has been mostly med-free.

I'm currently on lamictal, but I've been med and diagnose free for over a decade since I noticed things were off? I just went on the meds to help with a currently stressful situation that will take a long time to resolve.

I found what helped the most in regulating myself (and keep in mind, my depressions can be severe but my hypomanias are always pretty tame) was keeping a good sleep routine and maintaining habits and routines in my life in regards to chores. And the healthier I eat the better things go.
