From my personal experience, yes.

But for how long, remains the question.

I went yearsssssssss with hypomanic episodes that were actually good for me. I was more productive, saw things optimistically, obtained career goals etc etc.

I'd say I had at least 10 years of "productive" hypomania.

Then, unfortunately, I had my first manic episode, changing the diagnosis to Bipolar 1.

So now I'm pretty much accepting of the fact that I choose to be on meds for life.
