Bipolar Disorders are only successfully treated with medication. I've seen patients do great on Abilify.
If you really have the disorder, postponing treatment leads to quite undesirable consequences down the road: incarcerations, involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations, drug abuse, homelessness.
edit: Well, you probably have met successful professional people who have Bipolar Disorder, and not even known it. If you work with a psychiatrist and adhere to a successful medication regimen, it should not prevent you from becoming a lawyer. If you want to work in a nuclear program, it may be a barrier, however.
Get a counsellor to talk to sure it will help
