If you have a true bipolar condition manic or manic and depressive symptoms you most probably would benefit by medication as well as psychotherapy.
You have to understand that first you have to accept that you have an illness. Just like a person who has Diabetes, needs either exercise and diet in mild cases then medicine in moderate cased and then insulin in severe cases, you too require medicine. You should not feel shame in taking medicine if it helps you to be functional.
