The conventional maintenance treatment for Bipolar is medication and talk psychotherapy.
That means that I'll be in therapy for the rest of my life??????

So that tells me that it is both. If it was merely a medical condition why would therapy help?

I also agree with Michah. Stress affects the chemistry in your brain.

Stress affects the chemistry in everyone’s brains!
But if you have a certain type of brain, like a bipolar brain, stress effects it in ways that cause the symptoms of bipolar.

That's the way I think of it.
