For me, it is psychotherapy that has been the band-aid that has helped me cope with bipolar depression in the interim while I continue to seaerch for a biological treatment to remediate a brain disorder. I also like the idea that psychotherapy can help reduce the "depressive pressure" of psychosocial stress that can serve to trigger a new episode, increase chronicity, induce treatment resistance, or cause medication breakthrough.
