  It all depends on the treatment and therapies that are given to you by the doctor. Once the treatment has been completed you will be able to return to your normal life.

  What people don't seem to understand is that pyschiatric disorders cannot be cured, only treated and managed; there is no such thing as completion of treatment for these conditions, treatment is an ongoing, lifetime process. Ask anyone who has one of these conditions what happens when they go off their meds; the symptoms come back and are often worse than before. I am one of those people. I have been battling OCD since I was 17yrs old (I'm now 51). Last year, I decided to "try" to go off my meds; what a big mistake. The symptoms returned in full force bringing a few new ones with them such as depression, severe insomnia and a laundry list of physical complaints. I really did not think I would survive this; I was barely able to function, and when I think about it now, I don't know how I did. When I started back on the meds, it took a long time to get back to "normal" (almost a year) and I had to face the fact that this would be a lifetime situation. So, my advice to you, would be to continue with your treatment, see your doctor regularly, and immediately report any changes in your condition. Good luck, and remember that people who have conditions like ours can live long, healthy, productive lives, but it takes committment on your part and stay with your treatment program.

  Amazona is very right! Bipolar disorder does not have a cure it can be managed with medications and theropy, excercise and meditation can be helpful with the symptoms. Having said that this is a lifetime disorder and you will have to take medications to manage the symptoms for the rest of your life. The good news is that with the right combination of medications and theropy to learn to manage the illness will allow you to have a "normal" life with your family. It may be a new normal but you will see positive changes. If you choose to go off the meds you will fall back into the symptoms of this illness and chances are your symptoms will be worse than before. Good luck and try to think about the meds in a positive way. It is not so bad to take a few pills everyday to maintain a more positive life and have a happy family.
