What Is The Remedy For Bipolar Disorder?

Want a challenge? I have type 1 rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. I was in a state of manic-psychosis during an extremely traumatic series of events slightly over a year ago. Accidently, evidence of my delusional rantings back then surfaced. I have absolutely no memory of the events surrounding the trauma, and from the contents of the hard copy communication I wrote back then, I could only recover a few fragments of recollection. It s clear that I suffered a concurrent dissociative amnesia - but given the fact that similar occurrences have happened during past traumatic events (without the manic-psychosis), and I handled those situations well, I m wondering if I might have an alter?
