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."

"I started therapy about three weeks ago, and my therapist has been amazing! After completing a few online questionnaires, the therapist had a good starting point to address my concerns. He has been invaluable in giving me tools to deal with my issues, and I have scheduled my first video session. So far, I can definitely say it is worth the money. I work out of the US, and we are still able to communicate several times a week."
