I mean, it's not as though everybody but you, the therapy client, somehow magically learned how to recognize the onset of and cope with a hypomanic episode. "Normal" people never had to learn this skill because they don't have this problem.

That is not why everyone goes to see a therapist. It isn't even why all therapists say people should hire a therapist. It may be a reason to do so - but not everyone who hires a therapist will fall into this type of reason.
I don't see it as a mismatch between ordinary skill vs extraordinary difficulty for all people who see a therapist.
