Medication for Bipolar: Can a person heal from bipolar?

Sorry, I got on a rant and forgot the question.

My doctors have told me “no” they currently can’t make my disorder go away, they even tried 19 ECT treatments.

What can and has happened is it can go into remission if treated correctly.

I have 9 years no drugs and very few symptoms when I was 25 to 34, lots of counseling and tough work.

I have never been in remission since. I hope that I am starting a good period now; albeit still with a lot of drugs.

If I stop trying to get well I’ll likely stop living. Complete hopelessness is the end for me.

I wish everyone the hope and strength to carry on!

@dfb your story is amazing! You are certainly a fighter who is not afraid of the battle!

Isn’t it amazing how the chemistry in our brain can make or break us…How do you fix a brain whose ability to process certain things is wacky.

I don’t think we will ever get to the point where we are truly healed unless it’s a miracle.
Until then, I will keep on keeping on…

Thank you for sharing. Hopelessness can last a long time but not forever…have faith there are so many different treatments and ways to reach out. Keep up the fight and good things will happen 🙏
