Meditation can help but at a risk. When you are doing meditation certain experiences will surface and sometimes your condition may worsen temporarily. In such cases you have to be steadfastly looking at the arising and passing away of sensation in your body scanning from head to foot. This can be any sensation like air touching your body, cloths touching your body, itching sensation, etc.
This meditation technique is called Vipassana. There are two main divisions according to subject matter in Vipassana.
- On form (Rupa) - this is mainly using body (kaya) and sensation (vedana) as the subject
- On Mind (Arupa) - thinly has mind (Citta) and Dhamma as the subject
When you have a psychological disorder you generally become effective hence you have to choose Body and Sensation for contemplation on meditation On Form. Also most likely you would be more reactive and tempered hence you of the two Sensation as the subject is the most effective. In all the other satipaṭṭhāna is inter mingled with sensation but in such a case you sensation should be your main choice especially that arising in the body to start with and in the mind.

Also until you become better excessive concentration is not advisable until the psychological episode subsides. You can try increasing meditation like the breath meditation as things improve, but if leads to instability concentrate on scanning the body.
