I think everyone of us is different. For some this works very well. For others, not so much. In my personal experience, my BP has been VERY self-destructive. I do not want to experience that depth of depression, or the living hell my dysphoric hypomania can be. Not to mention that my garden variety hypomania has led me on flights of fancy that had horrible consequences, (even though before the consequences, I was having a good time).
I have done lots of therapy throughout my life, but for me, the meds are the only thing that have given me some degree of mood stability (some degree, not perfect).
