A member asked:
Does bipolar (including type 2) often get worse with age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The symptoms can: actually mellow with age. One, you get used to the sx's and learn to control them better. Two, aging decreases the intensity of lots of things, including BP sx's (I or II). Three, the ability to act out extreme mood swings also decreases with age, thus slightly lessening the likelihood of getting into trouble. Find a therapist, no matter what your age.
