It is possible BEFORE you enter a manic or depressive period. Once you are DEEP in a phase your neural pathways take over and you cannot self-help only perhaps cope, by doing certain things that work (stop drinking coffee, alcohol, drugs, excise). Before the neural pathways are triggered you can self-sooth and self medicate by certain exercises or regimen. Just my 2 cents.
