A member asked:

Might bipolar disorder still come back even if a person is well medicated?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Usually yes: There are cases in which a person has one manic or depressive episode in their life. However it is a cyclic disorder. Being maintained on appropriate medications may prevent the disorder from fully expressing in the future.
