I must say I've not heard of any doc taking someone with BP off all meds as meds are essential to control BP.
Going on what you have said this doc is not for you but do be honest with yourself, answer the question about meds for yourself. Do they work or not?
With BP a minimum med diet would be a mood stabiliser, lithium for example, Anything less and the doc is either saying he/she knows nothing or that you don't have depression at all.
As to CBT. Will not work if you are BP on no meds. Impossible. Like trying to drive a car with no gas. Ask the doc to explain how CBT will work if your BP is untreated?
It looks simpler to change docs really but you need to stay with someone soon, hope you find a good one.
