Bipolar usually doesn't require antipsychotics, so if you can avoid them (especially long-term)...that'd be a good thing. If you do take antipsychotics, you might want to try taking antioxidants (C, E, etc); that might reduce the TD risk.
With bipolar, some patients who use antipsychotics long-term use them in fluctuating doses; up for mania, down when more stable, so on, so forth....that might be a good option.
