in my experience being bipolar i've found that learning new coping skills, boundary setting, etc. in therapy-i didn't have many at first-has helped particularly in my reasoning to ward off many depressive triggers. may not work for everybody but it sure helped me. i know i'm bipolar, just take me off meds and see. i knew i didn't possess an understanding about life/coping.
so therapy/CBT + meds works in my dealing with emotions that set off my bipolar. if i left out one in the equation i'd be stuck.
