Do you think therapy could be effective to your case?
- micromacrofoot 4y agowe don’t really know what causes bipolar disorder, it’s an issue with neurotransmitters that can sometimes be hereditary - sometimes it’s triggered by psychological trauma it can be managed by varying degrees with therapy and medication, but efficacy varies quite a bit from person to person
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoI have been in therapy for about 15 years, and as well I am an accomplished mediator. Therapy only helps with coping with the illness and with undoing the crap from my childhood living with a bipolar mother and brother as well. But when I am unwell it is like telling someone on meth to "remember their therapy skills". It is just useless. The root cause of my illness is a genetic sensitivity to several environmental factors. My main issue is with ion channels (specifically with calcium ion channels) and an inhibition of my Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase gene (NOS1AP). High Omega 3 and very low omega 6, limiting my dietary intake of phenols, limiting EMF exposure, mediation, have all helped me end my dependence on meds except for low dose klonopin or ethanol when I am exposed to an unforseen trigger.
