Suggest Treatment For Type 2 Bipolar Disorder

I have type 2 bipolar disorder. For 3 years I had complete control over it. I suffered a tragedy 22 years ago. ( I lost my dad in an car accident) Fast forward to February of 2013, I suffered another tragedy. My cousin passed away. Instead of seeing my cousin laying in the casket, I saw my dad. My depression with my bipolar is beyond out of control. I have tried for months to get help, but to no avail, there s not enough Dr s here. Is there anything I can do to try and curb these rapid depression violent outbursts?

So consult psychiatrist and get help.
