I don't believe therapy can "cure" bipolar. It can, however, help you manage it. They can be a good tool in noticing moods shifting before you might know so that you can be proactive sooner. They can also help you with relationship issues bp might be causing and help you with better coping strategies. I used to go but don't anymore. I probably should, but my son has mental health issues too and stuff gets expensive. I WAS paying 3 prescriptions x 2, psychiatrist x 2, and therapy x 2. Had to cut therapy out. Wish I did have the money for us both to go though.
