> I'm guessing CBT is probably not as effective if you're experiencing severe mental health problems I'm bipolar. CBT is ineffective for problems that aren't resulting from bad thoughts. But it just as important as medication for my treatment plan. CBT is absolutely critical to maintaining stability when I am rational. Stopping bad thoughts before they get time to spiral out of control significantly reduces the severity of my symptoms. While CBT can't fight irrational thoughts resulting from my mood swings, it's taught me what I can and can't change. As a result, I know when to switch to a different coping skill to get through a bad day. As far as in-person therapy goes, a therapist is a guide. They can point you in the right direction and provide a different perspective. |
