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.

"This is my first experience of any therapy and I'm been very happy so far. It's only been a month, but the combination of weekly sessions and worksheets to work through have been very helpful. I'm finding the writing process very cathartic. Regarding the sessions, I didn't require anything groundbreaking, I just needed a neutral voice who could help me to better understand my own hypothesis of what I was facing. It has been everything I required, and I've been very pleasantly surprised at how quickly it has had a positive effect on my life."

"The online-therapy.com platform is great. I would like to see the prices become cheaper than what they are and have a package where it’s just a video meeting with a therapist once a week. I am not sure of other people but I don’t use the messaging, activity log, journal etc. that is redundant in my eyes, I want to actually talk face to face or video with the therapist.

There is a lot of people out there who cannot afford the prices but actually need and require the help."

"So far, this has been a really positive experience. Online therapy makes it easy to stay consistent, and I feel genuinely listened to during sessions. The conversations feel supportive but also practical, and I usually walk away with something useful to think about or apply. The platform is simple to use, which helps a lot."
