* It can be. it just depends on what methods are used and how severe the case is. Hypnosis, although effective, is an unethical and unreliable method to use in this case; it only covers up the symptoms rather than "curing" them. Many bipolar sufferers use drugs to suppress the symptoms but others, such as Stephen Fry, have grown to love their illness, because the feelings of elation that come with it can outweigh the depression. == == * There is no "cure" for Bipolar, however it can be managed with medications. Bipolar is a life-long disease, however one can live a normal, healthy & happy life when they are in treatment for their Bipolar disorder. * Like any other illness, bipolar can be treated but never cured. Or, not cured until gene therapy can make more discoveries. And that is because bipolar is a genetic disorder. -clm * It's only controlled by medication. Even with medication, it is still a guessing game, you are told "if this medication your taking is not working, let's change and try this". Or they add additional medications. Not everyone can live to be normal and happy with bipolar, like the above statement. Ask anyone who has experienced bipolar disorder
