Can a person out grow bipolar disorder? No, Bipolar Disease is a chemical imbalance of the brain and it can never go away, but it CAN be effectively treated with a consistant regimen. Many people really LOVE the High they feel when they are in the Manic part of the illness, that is why so many people stop treatment. The Manic phase can make you feel almost superhuman, tons of energy, etc. But This is a false perception as this get people into a lot of trouble financially, socially and in countless other ways.
