Question 2

Do people combine medication and therapy for Bipolar Disorder?

On Alma, some clinicians in White Plains offer medication management, and you can filter for them.

Question 3

Should I wait until my mood is stable to start therapy?

Accepted Answer

In Alma's White Plains directory, filter therapists who treat Bipolar Disorder by availability to see who has openings soon.

Question 4

How do therapists work with the rest of my care team?

What can I work on in therapy for Bipolar Disorder?

How many sessions will I need for Bipolar Disorder?
