Hi.
Bipolar Disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. There is no cure and you can't grow out of it. There are medications out there to help stabilize the brain chemistry but there is some trial and error involved in finding the right one and how much of it to prescribe.
Your support in your boyfriend finding and staying on his medication would be very valuable.
There is alot of information about Bipolar Disorder on the internet if you type Bipolar Disorder into your search engine. Probably more than anyone could ever manage to type in here for you...
Also, there is a whole board here at Healthboards just for friends, families and people with Bipolar Disorder. You can ask anything there that you are wondering about and someone will answer.
Here is a link to the board and then you can Bookmark it:

Good luck! I have Type I Bipolar Disorder and wish some of my earlier boyfriends had been half as interested in learning about my disease as you are in finding out about your boyfriend's.
