As always, talk to your doctor first. As far as "ever".. if you're feeling well enough to return to work and Bipolar disorder is well managed with the correct medicine and/or therapy/counseling, I don't see why not. Good Luck!!

Absolutely. Many people with Bipolar qualify for Disability, but choose to work anyway. I'm one of them. Make sure you find a job that is flexible (in case you have frequent appointments with doctors and psychiatrists). I've found that freelance work is the best choice for Bipolar people.

Yes, but like anyone else looking for a job, they need to demonstrate basic cooperation and self-control.
