Can someone with bipolar disorder with the right medication, be a school teacher?

Yes, if medication: is keeping your moods balanced you could be a school teacher. People with bipolar can work and live productive lives, although at times it can be challenging. Stay in psychotherapy and keep meeting with a psychiatrist to monitor your medication.

Depends: Having bipolar disorder means needing treatment to lead a happier life socially and professionally. Therapy and med management are both important and usually long-term. Easy to quit when feeling better, but symptoms/relapse can return quickly. Stay connected to your therapist/doctor and go for a teaching career with their support!
