I think it helps me be more self aware and have someone to spring my thoughts off of and realize possible cognitive distortions. So, that's helpful because I might catch my moods when the are shifting, sooner. It also helps me to be more aware of the fact that I have OCD, because that affects my moods and I need to address it. It hasn't really done much directly for improving my moods, though. Like I think I am just as likely to get depressed as I was before and my depression cycles with things like seasons, which other than behavioral things like light therapy and exercise, I don't find much helps.
