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 am enjoying my experience with online-therapy so far. My therapist is neutral and non-judgemental in the best way and asks great questions to help me reflect and further understand myself, while also providing guidance and helping me set activities to help me through my anxiety.

Using the platform itself is easy. Scheduling sessions is simple and the worksheets and informational content available is helpful for further understanding and working on myself."

"I have done therapy before through a different service, and although it helped in the moment, I don’t feel as though I had the tools to cope. Now that I’m trying this service, I can already tell that I’m learning to cope better. I’m actually doing the work to feel better, and the format makes it easy to see what is required of you. I kind of like that it actually has worksheets and sections, it makes it a lot easier for me to break down what is bothering me on a day to day basis, but also the things I avoid. And my therapist always follows up with questions or comments on what I fill out, probing me to go deeper into certain things. So far quite helpful!"

"This therapy experience has transformed my life. The comprehensive worksheets, and interactions with my therapist outside of my weekly sessions allows me to really work my CBT skillset into my life seamlessly and effectively. I have seen major positive impact in my personal perspective and in my key relationships."
