Hi there
I am not an expert on bipolar disorder but I don't think that bipolar disorder goes away at any certain age. One can certainly manage this disorder, however, with treatment.
I am going to give you the link to our bipolar disorder site so that you may ask your question there. The experts and members there will be able to give you answers from their own experience.
Thanks so much for reaching out here. Were you just recently diagnosed?
