Bipolar will not go away just because we don't want it anymore. We can't take a pill and make the disorder disappear. 

A diabetic takes medication to keep their sugar at a manageable level. People go through treatment to knock down their cancer. There are medications for high blood pressure, acid reflux, allergies, etc. People remain on assorted medications for life to treat their medical conditions.

Mental illnesses are the same. They are conditions of the brain. They need treatment for life too. Because no matter how bad we want it to, bipolar won't go away.
