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.

"Phil has been incredible. I'd always had fears that I might not connect with a therapist but he has been fantastic. I find his advice and insights both hopeful and genuine. He has a great mix of knowledge while also knowing how to frame his insights in a manner that a young man like me needs. It feels like talking to an uncle who knows a lot about the mind and life"

"It’s a little difficult to use at first, getting into the habit of starting and filling out the tasks. The videos do help in some way, I’m not forced to look at the screen to learn so I can do something productive while listening. I appreciate how it asked me for preferences for my therapist, I didn’t really think I would have any but the questions let me think and helped me find the right one."

"This is a great site that gives you all the tools you need for success in your therapy journey. Having a licensed therapist like Sherrie along also helps so much, the worksheets provided along with the journal really help me take a moment and understand how I feel on a day to day basis."
