Does a bipolar disorder patient become normal?
The disorder can go into remission without drugs and the person can become normal. Often, though, medication is required. Sometimes the medication makes the person become almost normal. In other cases, it doesn't do any good. A person with bipolar disorder, though their medications may have helped them tremendously and though they may not be manic or depressed, will always be a person with bipolar disorder. They may be able to do everything a "normal" person can do or they may find their lives limited by their condition. Bipolar disorder can look different in different individuals also.

Can bipolar be treated without medication?
Bipolar disorder is a seriously debilitating conditon that can be life-threatening. You will find all sorts of information on the Web about people who claim to be able to control their symptoms (or other people's) non-medically. While much of this information is well-intentioned -- and some of it is designed to separate you from your money -- it is not necessarily applicable to individuals. Each person has different brain chemistry. When it allows us to function without help, that's great. But sometimes the balance is a bit off, and we need medication to bring things back into line. The answer to your question, therefore is "yes," it can be treated without medication, but there is only a small chance that such treatment will be as effective as it would be if supported by medication. Given the dangerous aspects of bipolar disorder, we cannot recommend it.
