Age 30.
I think later is best. Or not and just selling the drugs OTC (much better).
It helps to not see it as an illness and so to accept it.
But information about it is very good, just not the wrong kind you get from most psychiatrists, making you scared and imposing some sense of normality you don't have (maybe some do, but then maybe there just isn't a problem).
Edit:
Much later than 30 for problems (including prodromes) that started very early is probably the limit. Maybe 35. Then you have both learned to deal very well (probably) and you have enough years left to reap with meds (if you need them).
It's a balancing act (most things are, depending on the theory).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
