If your disorder is genetic, therapy may not be the answer.

I have had success with cognitive behavioral therapy. It helps you to understand what type of thoughts you're having and has you reframe them. After a time, you'll find that you're thinking more positively. For example, you may have the thought that someone doesn't like you. In CBT, you learn that type of thought is called mind reading. Since you don't really know what someone is thinking then it doesn't make sense to assign thoughts to them. so you might tell yourself something like I don't know what that person is thinking, so I'll say hello to them to find out. So how you think impacts your actions in a positive way. I hope this helps and that you are feeling better soon.

Hello,
I would like to know which therapy approach is the best for bipolar disorder as I've tried group psychoeducation and family centered therapy but I'm still feeling terrible.
Thanks for your advices!
