If it was some action you took or even just time passing, those are things that can be figured out and utilized to help you in the future.

I had a previous psychiatrist tell me that meds alone can only do so much, therapy alone can only do so much, but the best success in treating bipolar is via a combination of meds and therapy. That's the best evidence-based success that medical science has to offer today.

Good luck, boogie.
