There are of course people with Bipolar Disorder who are currently living happy and relatively "normal", productive lives. It takes the right help and treatment to manage to do this and we often don't hear much about these people because they don't feel the need to reach out through media because, well, they're doing quite alright.

I strongly believe that most of us will eventually be able to lead the lives we want to lead though I'm not able to see it for myself at the moment. Are we capable of leading happy lives though? Oh yes, everyone has that potential somewhere even during their darkest days.
