Therapy can help anyone, even if you don't have mental illness, I feel. There's different types of therapy. I did best in group therapy. I don't know why but I guess I feel less alone with group therapy. Unfortunately that can only be had in an IOP or partial hospital setting around here so I can't go all the time. I stopped seeing an individual therapist for awhile Over the winter but I will be back with her in April, probably only once every couple of weeks, just to have an objective party to talk to.

Therapy can help a person with bipolar disorder identify triggers, develop coping skills, address past traumas if there are any, and understand the impact the dx Has on their life. It was useful for me when I was rediagnosed last year because I thought it was my fault the symptoms had returned so forcefully.

If you can afford it I would go.
