They started taking meds and once they start feeling better they stop and then it starts all over again.

Meds just quit working more times than not. I've been married 12 years to a woman with bipolar. Early in the marriage she tried almost every drug to control it. All of them became unless within 6 months. She would either nose dive into depression or worse she would go super manic for weeks to months at a time. After realizing the drugs dont work, at least with her, we took her off and quit trying. Instead we understand the cycles and manage either the mania or the depression. Guess what? She's had less episodes with less intensity. Drugs arent a kill shot and can make shite worse if not managed.
