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.

"I like the worksheets because they allow me to work through what I need to work through but at my own pace. So when I hit a stall point it allows me to stop, to think, to reflect and then complete them."

"I came to therapy because I was at a point where something had to change and I needed an independent and challenging view not an echo chamber, only a few weeks in but the way seems clearer and I feel stronger"

"I was a bit nervous to try online therapy, but have been pleasantly surprised with my therapists professionalism and the ease of talking via video. I am learning legitimate tools and practices to use in my daily life. If you're on the fence, give it a try, and you can always stop if it's not working for you."

"Therapy with my current counsellor has helped me so drastically with navigating my mind and internal world, where I now feel I have more tools to notice negative thought patterns and change my mind, therefore changing my life course. Everyone should have therapy as this has been so helpful and healing which is something we can all benefit from."
