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’ve always said that I wanted to go to therapy but never did because it was too expensive. However, after some research I found online-therapy.com! Progress is slow when you’re working through hard things, but starting therapy at such an affordable price has significantly improved my mental health. I used to be so incredibly depressed, but my therapist has talked me through my challenges and I view some things entirely differently. If you’re thinking about starting - just do it. Take the chance on yourself."

"Lisa was a wonderful therapist! She helped me feel confident in expressing myself and that I had a safe space during our sessions. My therapy primarily centered around my couples relationship issues which she provided wonderful guidance and self-exploration and balancing between where I could feel justified in areas and opening up my eyes to how I can improve myself."

"Working with Isabel has been great. I find she listens, cares, shares precious intuitions, thinks about my situation between sessions, and much more.

The platform is easy enough to use and I appreciate having a record of what I wrote. I haven't had a chance to check out all of its features even, so congrats."
