are bi-polar diseases completely curable or manageable like diabetes ?

Answer 1

It seems the real challenge here is defining "curable."

Some diseases (or as some people like to use the term, disorders) are acute and a "cure" means that they will have that particular disease for a short period of time, then after treatment or the disease has run it's course the person will not require further concern over the matter. The disease will be gone.

However, in the case of many mental challenges the circumstance is not acute but chronic. A permanent condition from which the patient suffers regardless as to whether they receive treatment or not. Many sufferers of chronic conditions can lead normal lives without obtaining any treatment at all. Those individuals have no need of a "cure". They are completely functional without one.

Other individuals require treatments on a consistent basis or they lose their functionality. In cases like this, "cure" usually means that they can, with medicine or other therapy, lead productive lives.

Still others cannot lead productive lives in society regardless of the amount of treatment that is given to them. Either the technology to aid their condition does not exist yet or the person's disease is not something that can be "cured" within their lifetime.

So you see, it is a matter of degrees. But in that instance, I believe that very few people have a condition that precludes them from becoming productive members of society with sufficient care or management.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

Sometime I wish it were curable!

I was diagnosed with bipolar years ago, and have been managing it, sometimes very successfully, with medication.

I have a supportive husband and a thourough Psychiatrist who play a big role in helping me manage it.

I did go years trying to find the right medication for me though, and that alone can be quite a process, because it's not always easy to tell if it's the medication working or are you just between episodes.

Answer 6

As most everyone has responded, Bipolar Disorder is manageable, but not curable. With the right combination of medication, therapy, support and lifestyle changes, you can lead a full and productive life.

Bipolar Disorder is most often genetically passed on, but not always. There isn't a single person in my family tree who had it, but I do.

The most important thing to remember is you don't have to go it alone. Learn to ask for help. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Answer 7

Manageable. Medication increases the time between episodes and usually makes the episodes much milder. Those who are med responsive, med compliant, and seek med adjustments at the first sign of a mood state live fairly normal lives. Those who have problems with meds or are not fully responsive can have it tough. Those who are not med compliant are stupid. Untreated, bipolar is a progressive illness. It only gets worse. Anyone who goes into 'remission' permanently w/o meds was not bipolar in the first place. However, episodes can be years apart - which does not mean foregoing meds is at all wise. It still progresses.

In responds to 'words to live on'... bipolar is a neurological disease. There is loss of gray matter and abnormal chemical action in the brain. Why? No one is sure, but calcium channels, chloride channels, gaba and some other systems are implicated in messing up neurotransmitters. It is not a response to society, although some form of stress (mild to major) is thought to trigger it. Once triggered, no amount of therapy or self-help will resolve it (although therapy in combination with meds is the best form of treatment). Bipolar is inherited, and thought to be due to a combination of genes. If you don't have the genes, you cannot get bipolar.

Answer 8

Bi-polar Disorder is treatable. Another name for this is Manic-Depressive Disorder. Often patients are given Lithium.

Bi-polar Disorder is when a person fluctuates between feeling so wired that they can't sleep for days, and feeling so tired that they can't get out of bed.

Counseling helps as well.

Bipolar is manageable with treatment and medication. My boyfriend of 9 years is Bipolar. He goes for counseling once every month and takes several medications. Still about 2 times each year he has an episode and goes temporarily insane for about 2 weeks. Medication doesn't always work for him. There's no cure.
