I hav had Cognitiv Behavioural Therapy and taken mood stabilizers for a pretty long period.I want to try Interpersonal Therapy as another option. My counsellor has recommendde it to me. I will begin next month I think. Is it as helpful as CBT? Will it help with my episodes?

Have you tried CBT? What about interpersonal therapy? What were your experiences with these? Can you compare their outcomes?

Take care,

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
