Absolutely! People with bipolar disorders can live a normal life. In fact, research has found that people with bipolar disorders are more intelligent and capable or love and have a normal relationship. Not everyone with bipolar disorders will experience delusions, auditory and visual hallucinations. If someone sees or hears things, that is a case of extreme mood or mania. People with bipolar disorders have jobs, families, and live a normal life.
Untreated bipolar disorders can led to progressive brain damages. Sadly, there is no known cure for bipolar disorders.

When I was handling a writing workshop for a non-profit organization, we had a student who was very eager to write. She is already a writer but she wanted to enhance her knowledge. She was trying to get closer to me maybe because I was the officer who is in charge of the workshop (but I am not the lecturer). We had been communicating by email and phone text. But there came a time that she admitted her problem that she is bipolar. That is the reason for her sudden mood changes. That turned me off. I am sorry to be discriminating but I got scared.

Yes, they can. I had a friend with bipolar disorder and he is still working as a technician in hospital. It was very obvious on his mood changes in a split of a second. But it seems that with heavy medication he can deal with it. Interestingly when he sees my father, he tells him to wish me all best but when I write SMS to him, he tells me he doesn't want to hangout with me. Very odd.

Yes, with proper treatment and support, people with bipolar disorder can lead fulfilling lives. Medication, therapy, and self-care strategies can help manage symptoms and enable individuals to maintain stability and engage in daily activities, relationships, and work or school.
