BP2 may respond well to medications..BP2 not so much, but medications are not meant to be "cure alls" more to help get us to a place to treat our cognitive distortions and behavioural issues. Individual therapy, self help books online forums are all good.. but personally DBT group therapy helped me leaps and bounds! It is a combination of Mindfulness practices and CBT therapy techiques.and it is taught almost like a course with a work book and homework etc..I found it refreshing..since prior group therapy attempts I often felt like I was being shamed for my behaviours rather than constructively taught better habits. Hope this helps some!
