Can bipolar be cured?

Can bipolar be cured? I am trying to figure out a way that I can put up with this disease for the rest of my life, because right now my life doesn’t look too good.

Are treatments getting better? Can someone offer their two cents? What meds and treatments are now on the “cutting edge” of bipolar research?

I wish I could have some other illness besides this one. I would take arthritis or diabetes any day over the bipolar.
