Do I have Bipolar II? What if I don't take medication for it?

Most people with bipolar need drugs to function in life. Its really up to you. Can you function in life, maintain relationships, keep a job, love yourself, etc without meds? If not, then you should try them. Bipolar meds are different from antidepressants and they might have a better effect on you. You can still be creative, talkative, etc on medication.
