Is there any permanent cure for bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder is partly an emotional disorder and partly a physical disorder. And one tricky part of the bipolar problem is brain chemistry. Simply put, the brain reabsorbs serotonin too quickly for maximum mental efficiency. This reduced efficiency results in a subtle change in how one thinks. There is not enough serotonin to transmit all the nerve impulses, and one will think differently. That is, one will be depressed or manic.
Unfortunately, modern science has not figured out how to help the body and the brain maintain optimal serotonin levels. So there is no physical cure.
For the emotional end of the bipolar problem, therapy has had mixed results. It does help some people a great deal, and some very little. So unless one is very very fortunate, therapy does not offer more than a chance.
Sorry, bipolar disorder is not curable on either of its two fronts. But I consider that we are lucky to have the medications to at least allow us to cope with life in a more normal fashion.
It is with you for life. You can maintain it with medication, therapy, and trial and error. It may take a while to find a medication that works for you.
No. It's just who we are.
I wish there were. Its something I have to deal with on a daily basis. The only thing I can suggest is if you are on meds for it, stay on them and don't stop taking them because you feel better.
i also suffer from it- but i use Taurine, and Lithium Orotate, and lots of prayer to get me through....i seem to find rest and prayer do most of the work....God bless
No my sister has it and it stays with you and she takes medicine to help her.
Perhaps.. will depend on the ability to do a rewire job in the brain.
