Bipolar disorder is a severe psychotic disorder during which manic and depressive episodes repeat alternately. Without treatment, a person with bipolar disorder can’t function properly at all. The prognosis for bipolar disorder is unpredictable. Spontaneous remission or worsening of the symptoms are both possible. Bipolar disorder is usually a life-long disease as is the treatment.
