Hi, AleneElora. I developed bipolar when I was in my late forties, so I can't speak personally about bipolar in younger people. But I do know that it will get better for you. The docs will find the combo of meds that will be helpful to you and your emotions will settle down some when you become an adult.

I have been over four years without any episodes, and I am sure some other people have been able to have such "reprieves," too. Life can be good, despite bipolar. Okay?
