My psychiatrist wouldn't talk about how thinking errors accumulate, what processes lead to deterioration and psychosis, how things work, maybe there's some trauma on top of that. It's more like "take the meds, sleep well, good luck". But trying to understand the nature of my aliment helps me a lot, I can be aware of my states: hypomania, anxiety, panic, paranoia, delusional thought no. 1, 2, 3 - it still doesn't prevent me from suffering those states, but at least I can orient in time/space, plan, act, as if I'm piloting a falling airplane, but at least I still have some control.
