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 liked the program and my therapist so far, being able to do my worksheets and answer my therapist anytime during the week/day has been invaluable to me. It would be difficult for me to fit a normal in-person hour session right now, so this is perfect for my therapy needs/goals."

"Loree has been very helpful. I find the sessions have been fulfilling. My wife and I are making progress. A little bit at a time, but there's been noticeable change for me anyhow. I only wish the sessions were an hour. 45 minutes always seems like a crunch."

"I have enjoyed my experience using this platform. After about two months of use, my biggest takeaways were the ease of use setting up my video calls, and I appreciated the worksheets with constant responses that help me stay on track to reach my goals."
