Even if your on medication you will probably still have break through episodes it happens to most people sadly enough .. Meds can help limit them hopefully .

Its often hard to find the right "cocktail" that you can live with .. Psych meds can have some very difficult side effects . So its beneficial to have a pdoc that will work with you to find the best treatment plan for you.

You will need to learn coping skills to help manage your emotions. Do you have a T (therapist) ? They can be extremely help full when faced with Bipolar and learning to manage the ups and downs

I would never never disclose Bipolar to your employer..Why? Well most people seem to get fired a few months down the road for some lame excuse.. And the ADA,? thats a joke getting help from them.
