psychotherapy can help a person with bipolar disorder and his/her family learn to cope with this illness. Although most individuals who experience a manic episode return to full functioning, they remain at risk for recurrent episodes of mania. Medicines like lithium, Depakote, or Tegretol may be used long term to help to prevent the recurrent episodes of mania and/or depression. Usually, the severity of the manic and depressive cycles lessens with increased age.
