While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).

During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.

While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"Going into therapy has already made a positive difference in my life just one month in. I'm beginning to think clearer and develop long term habits and structure in my life. CBT is helping me identify and restructure my negative thoughts and habits, allowing me to get back on my feet instead of dwelling in them. I will be continuing this program for the foreseeable future to help me through my tough times."

"This service is excellent for people who have never tried therapy before. It's an easy way to get into it and talk to a professional about how you're feeling. I only joined for 4 weeks but that was enough for my personalised therapist to talk through how I was feeling, help me think about things differently and provide good coping mechanisms. I would recommend this site to a friend 100%."

"I started on-line therapy to help me deal with decades of anger issues and PTSD from childhood. The therapy - especially my therapist - have been simply awesome, far exceeding my expectations. I've had more mental peace in the past months than in years. I have recommended this to my entire family. It will help them understand me and understand themselves."

"Absolutely, the best online-therapy available. Great way to sign up for appts or change within 24 hours. It’s like you have homework in the morning & night. When you get anxious all you need to do is focus on the texts or write a journal entry. My therapist was Angela Miller & I felt she was so up lifting spirit. Thank you. I will recommend. I suggest the more expensive plan to start because it keeps you focused."
