I guess that's why the medications are so effective. I don't have bipolar. I am bipolar and bipolar is me. But does that hold out any hope for a future cure?

I think we need to think on this some more.
Without meds, it IS us! Its like how the colored leaves of the Fall are the true colors of the leaves; only in Spring and Summer does the chlorophil cover this color up. That's like us and meds: With meds, our true selves are covered up.
