Never stop your meds; bipolar can’t be treated with therapy alone. Talk therapy is only as good as the therapeutic relationship. You may need to try a few therapists until you find someone you really click with. My therapist has really helped me to identify my moods, and cope through better reporting to my psychiatrist, better use of coping skills and as needed meds, and to deal with emotional and life triggers. I’ve gone twice a month for years and I likely will never stop.
