They monitor your medications and prescribe them, adjusting them if necessary, and adding new medications the old ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your medical doctor and therapist can&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your therapist is responsible for helping you with the issues surrounding your bipolar disorder as well as with your life issues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They don&#8217;t just spend 15 or 20 minutes with you like your medical doctor or psychiatrist.  They work with you on a long-term basis as well, and they work with deeper issues.  Your medical doctor and psychiatrist can&#8217;t do that. So do you see?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like a puzzle, you need all THREE parts to make up your professional treatment team in order to get better with your bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You have to have a system.
