<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.bipolar type 2 can be cure?  <response>: Hi, Bipolar disorder, both type 1 and 2 are amenable to treatment. A person with bipolar will need to continue the mood stabilizers valproate, lithium, etc. in order to prevent the emergence of a hypomanic manic or depressive episode. Most of the cases of bipolar disorder need treatment for lifetime. As a rule, if a person remains symptom free for 4-5 years, a trial to taper the medicines can be considered. If there is re-emergence, the medicines will have to be continued. I do hope that I was able to help you with your query. Best wishes,
