Who was this lady? Those are dangerous things to say. I went to a chiropractor who told me Bipolar wasnt real and she could fix it by aligning my spine. I had to laugh. She said the same thing about my thyroid disorder.

For me it depends on the TYPE of therapy. It is not one thing. There are many different kinds. For me it has usually made things much much worse in the throes of an episode. Especially a depression. I have found some things useful for lessening triggers like from my family etc. and other tools and skills have helped just in managing.

But for me reading on my own, and talking to friends etc has been more helpful. But I'm not at all talking cure here. No cure. Just helping to manage. Even that I take with a grain of salt. I'm the opposite of the lolagrace. I tried everything forever but it wasn't until meds that I gained real stability. Ever since meds I really never go to therapy. Though I have a therapist I could go to and my pdoc is a psychotherapist too.
