Is there a cure for bipolar disorder?

The primary goal of treatment for bipolar disorder is to improve or eliminate symptoms, not necessarily to cure it. This is because for the majority of people, bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition and requires lifelong treatment. Bipolar disorder is usually treated with a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. Do not stop your treatment for bipolar disorder because you are feeling better or you believe you no longer need it: always consult with your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
