Hi,Bipolar disorder, both type 1 and 2 are amenable to treatment. A person with bipolar will need to continue the mood stabilisers (valproate, lithium, etc) in order to prevent the emergence of a hypomanic/ manic / or depressive episode.Most of the cases of bipolar disorder need treatment for life time. As a rule, if a person remains symptom free for 4-5 years, a trial to taper the medicines can be considered. If there is re-emergence, the medicines will have to be continued.I do hope that I was able to help you with your query.Best wishes,Dr. Sunil Gupta
