Bipolar disorder is partly an emotional disorder and partly a physical disorder. And one tricky part of the bipolar problem is brain chemistry. Simply put, the brain reabsorbs serotonin too quickly for maximum mental efficiency. This reduced efficiency results in a subtle change in how one thinks. There is not enough serotonin to transmit all the nerve impulses, and one will think differently. That is, one will be depressed or manic.
Unfortunately, modern science has not figured out how to help the body and the brain maintain optimal serotonin levels. So there is no physical cure.
For the emotional end of the bipolar problem, therapy has had mixed results. It does help some people a great deal, and some very little. So unless one is very very fortunate, therapy does not offer more than a chance.
Sorry, bipolar disorder is not curable on either of its two fronts. But I consider that we are lucky to have the medications to at least allow us to cope with life in a more normal fashion.

Go and see a professional asap! It could be Bipolar, deep Depression or Borderline Personality Disorder? - I am not trying to diagnose you - BPD causes one to have extreme mood swings and fluctuations in feelings similar to what you are experiencing - Bipolar moods tend to last weeks, months, years at a time. However, a Personality Disorder is a very strong label to give a person. Never try to self-diagnose! Let the professionals do their duties! Whatever you do, do not Wikipedia ailments - the information is inaccurate! I am very sorry to hear what you are going through. I do hope you get everything resolved and find the root cause/mental health problem of this. Best of luck, sweetie! X

One thing that has helped me with my depression is NAET. It's a technique which eliminates allergies. Dr. Nambudripad defines allergies as more than those things which cause sneezing or swelling or itching. They are, instead, overreactions of the body's immune system to different substances. She developed a technique - stumbled across it, actually - which will eliminate these overreactions. It's a combination of Eastern and Western medicine and doesn't require any needles or pills or shots.
By treating my allergy to substances like manganese and serotonin, I have seen a marked decrease in my depressive symptoms. I'm still getting rid of allergies, so I am confident that it will help more.
Going to the website will help to find a practitioner in your area. My health is 360 times better than when I started.

I wish there were. Its something I have to deal with on a daily basis. The only thing I can suggest is if you are on meds for it, stay on them and don't stop taking them because you feel better.

It is with you for life. You can maintain it with medication, therapy, and trial and error. It may take a while to find a medication that works for you.

Perhaps.. will depend on the ability to do a rewire job in the brain.
