Is it hard to find a therapist who specializes in or is very knowledgeable about bipolar disorder? Is CBT the best for BPII?
I want to avoid therapists who just want to talk about my past and childhood, etc. For example, I wouldn't want someone who uses the Freudian school of thought. The "past" issues are important, but I would like that to be secondary. I would like someone who treats in the context of bipolar disorder, and who understands the biological nature of it. I'm guessing the therapist who would fit this description would most likely be a psychologist (Phd) and not a counselor or social worker (MSW, etc).
Anybody have any experience with this?
