Is there any way to overcome bipolar disorder without therapy? ?

Says one of us, "EVERY single person on the planet meets the qualifications for bipolar." That is, EVERYONE has frequent panic attacks and harm themselves with glass and a knife. 

My question is, if there's a chance that therapy could help with your problem, a life-threatening problem that's giving you misery, why not give it a try? The recommended things are medication, therapy, and stress management. How important therapy is in that I can't say but why overlook anything that might help?

If there's a money problem, see if you might get therapy low cost or free. You might find something good if you called your local social services (211?) or googled "affordable psychotherapy." The cost of therapy can vary a lot.

It's typically recommended that in addition to medication from a board-certified psychiatrist (M.D. or D.O.) or even a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (NP) that someone with bipolar depression should seek therapy for psychological support too.

Either a licensed *clinical psychologist* (PhD or PsyD) or a *licensed-clinical social worker* (LCSW) may provide an "official" mental health diagnosis and/or may administer cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt), for instance, which deals with how one's thoughts may affect one's behavior.

I'm not sure if you've tried a "partial hospital" (day treatment) outpatient program, but it's a more intense therapy program that includes group therapy.  Most "partial hospital" outpatient programs take place from Monday - Friday, 9a-3p, though hours depending upon the person's health insurance and/or the facility.  Transportation may be provided to and from the center for those in the "partial hospital" program.

Someone in a "partial hospital" program may learn some coping strategies, education about one's mental illness, stress management techniques, and/or ways to help lessen relapse prevention.  A board-certified psychiatrist should be on-staff as well.  (Certain programs may include one-to-one therapy, family therapy, and/or creative arts therapy.)

A lesser intensive therapy program may be referred to as an "intensive outpatient program" (IOP), though some therapy facilities prefer that one starts with the "partial hospital" program.

This website should have some local counseling agencies, which may include an on-site psychiatrist too:

Well the house needs a cleanin

and the sink is a leakin

the leaves need a rakin

and the bed needs makin

the grass needs a cuttin

and I'm missin a button

and now I'm a cussin

Later on I'll be down and sad

happy just seems like a fad

and now I'm just sad and mad

I get in my little boat

and leave just a little note

Even diet is a therapy and that is a very good place to start along with clean water to drink supplemented with little to no sugar juices and don't expect an overnight or instant cure as there is no magic bullets because there is none BUT you can make your life and those around you better and easier to deal with and I'm sure they will appreciate it BUT the first 90 days is just the beginning...

and you are worth it but it's your life and you have to see that part for yourself and it's a road that none but you can walk...

I have found that getting a job seems to cure most things.

The whole "bipolar" scam is just an excuse for people who don't want to work to get paid to lay on the couch.

Ask the people who had heart attacks but didn’t see a doctor.
