发帖数: 1 | 1 My friend has bipolar disorder and was hospitalized in 1997 and 1999. She
managed to maintain a stable condition since then with Lithium and Epideral,
and had a baby in May. In order to have a safe pregnancy and breastfeeding
period, she stopped taking medicine for about 1 and a half year.
Now the problem is, she started to have symptoms (high and low episodes)
again. Does she need to resume medicine? Can BD be totally cured?
Thank you for your input!!! | d***y

Bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that currently has no cure, but can be
effectively treated. Staying on treatment, even during well times, can help
keep the disease under control and reduce the chance of having recurrent,
worsening episodes.
