I've been diagnosed bipolar for 2+ years but like many here also had some prior trauma that was making mood regulation even worse, so recently (6 months ago) switched over to schema therapy. For me, it's been incredibly helpful on trauma-related things  but to some extent I feel like my bipolar symptoms go unchecked or ignored because they don't fit as well into the schema therapy framework

Has anyone else tried schema therapy? Is this general ignoring of the bipolar symptoms normal for it? Should I just expect psychiatry and therapy to be conducted separately in this case?  Really any info or stories you have on it would be super helpful in how I decide to move forward, thanks
