Is it possible to live a normal life with bipolar disorder? Yes it is possible if you take your medication regularily and are very careful to do that. Usually when a bipolar person starts to become hypomanic he feels so well and skips his medication so after a few weeks he is psycotic again and then it takes time before he is normal. These ups and downs are a heavy burden for the family and a disorder always takes its toll on close ones. .
One sort of psycosis is not better than the other, Like is it better to suffer from liver disorder or from IBD? A completely healthy person is a person who has not been properly examined.
