That depends on who you ask. Some people say it can be cured but i don't be leave that. I do know with my self and others that it can be lived with. I went to a mental health program for 2 years after my bipolar got very bad and having that many people around with a mental illness allowed you to see who would work on it take their meds and make improvements and then there were the people who don't work on it didn't take their meds and some would drink and do drugs as well .The best thing i can tell you to do is to find groups out there for bipolar make friends ask questions and do what works . You can live with it I have many more good days now then bad .I still have very bad days but they don't drag me down they way they use to and the good days now far and away make up for it.

It can be treated, but cured probably not. Every day with help by as many people *you* choose life with this disease (or 'handicap' as some people call it) becomes more bearable for others and for yourself. Sometimes you will notice that sometimes you irritate others. This may irritate you and so on.
Break this negative effect. You will see, the older you get, the more experience , the easier this will be. Try it out with SO, good friends, relatives and eventually complete strangers, but be careful. Watch the reactions carefully.
Bottom line: Practice makes perfect!

Hi RaeRae45302

Welcome to PC! I personally dont believe that bi-polar just goes away. However, with proper medication and/or professional therapy, life becomes bearable and sometimes even enjoyable. A good support system (friends, family) helps us heal even more. I've found PC to be a great support system during the good and bad, also!

Take care,

Dee Does it get any better
