When I worked at an inpatient hospital, the clinical director was a BCBA who told me the hardest thing for a Behaviorist was convincing manic patients “Here, take this pill, it’ll make you feel worse.”
Yeah I know a lot about those meds and my need for them and I still constantly am like “nah I don’t need these”
I don’t know why that’s specifically such a thing in bipolar except to what you allude to
