Bipolar is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. There is no way to permanently correct your brain chemistry. Medication is a treatment; however, this is an ongoing treatment that only works while you are on the medication. In addition, scientists do not completely understand the specific chemicals or neurotransmitters involved. You'll notice on some anti-depressant TV commercials it will say, "[Drug] is thought to..." indicating they know the drug has an effect, but they do not know exactly what that is. Bipolar is definitely manageable, through therapy, medication, and/or both, but it is currently not curable.
