I was diagnosed with bipolar and been in treatment for a little over a year. A week ago, my therapist made the following statement to me. "At this point, all we can hope for is that medication and therapy can help to make bipolar manageable for me."

I'm very ok with the statement, as I have something positive on the horizon. If it works out, things may, can, and will eventually get better for me. If it doesn't, things will get much, much, much worse for me and result in a terrible outcome.

Regardless, how would you interpret the above statement made by my therapist, if in fact your therapist made the exact statement to you?

Thanks for responses.
