Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Bipolar disease is a chronic illness. It is a relapsing disease. The medicines for this condition will help to keep the illness under control; even if the condition relapses, the dosage of the medicine can be adjusted so as to keep the condition under control. So I would suggest following the advice of the psychologist.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
