My talk therapist once asked why I kept going to her. I was already diagnosed with bipolar, and taking meds with another Dr. why did I need a talk therapist.

A few months later she talked to me about borderline personality disorder. She decided after awhile I had that, even though I wasn't really abused and didn't cut.

I wonder if insurance companies are questioning why people need talk therapists? Because since bipolar technically can be treated with a med, but borderline personality disorder needs a talk therapist - maybe the therapist (or insurance company) feels that there is some tangible road to better mental health if they are on the road of borderline personality disorder?

Anyway, BPD is still on my record. But at this time I feel I am on a plateau and do not need a talk therapist. I am doing fine with my meds.
