Therapists must be brainwashed to think that a person with bipolar cannot function off of medication.

If they did enough homework, they would know it is a SPECTRUM. Everyone exhibits the features of this disorder in different ways and some people have mild enough bipolar that medication is not necessary. It all depends on the individual.

The PH.D. student is only perpetuating this thought that medication is the only way. WHY NOT APPROACH THIS AS A PSYCHO-SOCIAL-BIO model? Why is it always BIO BIO BIO?

I know I sound mad, but I am mad. I am tired of this misconception that even in therapy there is biases against people who have MI. Is it that easy to forget we're all human? Regardless of what ailment we have???
