How long are people with bp2 generally in therapy for. I have been rapid cycling for about 9 months now since my mom passed. I have been in therapy since June. First therapist did not work out as I could have received the same service from a parrot. I started with my current therapist in nov and so far I am making good progress. I just started on meds about two weeks ago. I am still getting suicidal thoughts and bouts of irritability but I can already feel the meds starting to work. For insurance reasons, I need to have some idea before I put money into my HSA. It feels awkward bringing this up in therapy. I tried to bring up " a plan for therapy" last appointment and I received a bewildered look so I am not sure if she is looking to continue therapy as I am making progress. How long are people with bp2 usually in talk therapy.... Is this a lifetime thing or just till I even out again?
