Is It Possible to Control “mania” Without Taking Any Meds, I Am “bipolar”?

Question by Eshin: Is it possible to control “mania” without taking any meds, I am “bipolar”?

I am bipolar 1 with more attention to MANIA rather than DEPRESSION… I have been “delusional” during at least 2 episodes…I didnt sleep the other night and was in a full MANIA but went to sleep about 7:30 am until about 1:00 pm and MANIA was TOTALLY GONE!!! I have NEVER experienced mania coming and going SO FAST!

Best answer:

Answer by Mike
It depends. If you have hypomania, which is a mild-moderate form of mania found in Bipolar 2 disorder, then it definitely is manageable without meds. If you have mania with Bipolar 1, then most likely you will not be able to control it. Meds are good, don’t be so resistant.
