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'm very satisfied with the program so far. The worksheet is very detailed and digs deep into the issues. It's making me work hard into my issues and that's very helpful. My therapist is very supportive, thorough, and punctual."

"Being able to do text sessions is one of the reasons I took the plunge into therapy finally. My therapist has been wonderful to talk to and has been very helpful after only two sessions. I look forward to many more and maybe working up to voice or video sessions."

"We started using online-therapy.com for the couples therapy and it's really great so far. I like that it contains a video course, that you can do by yourself with feedback from the therapist, additional to the sessions. We prefer the video sessions, compared to chat sessions. It's also quite helpful to be able to send messages in between session to your therapist. That way you can summarise before a meeting of what happened and use the time effectively.

A little downside seems to be so far, that you can only book one lesson per week, so if you had to reschedule due to an urgent thing, make sure you have one session per week. Otherwise you might lose out on that, it's not possible to do two sessions in one week, even if you didn't have one in the previous week!"

"Great platform. Really convenient and quality therapists who care and are consistent. I was a person who used to think therapy/counseling made you weak and was very skeptical, however, I have had a wonderful experience on online-therapy.com. Previously I tried ReGain or BetterHelp and actually got stood up by counselors during my sessions. Never once had any issues on here, 10/10 reccomend."

"The sessions have been a great help in building conversation skills and understanding. Also, helping us to understand how are vastly different backgrounds have led to misunderstandings and how to overcome these problems"
