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 love this service. At first I was hesitant cause I haven't heard the best about online therapy services like this or better help but I'm very glad that I signed up.
I really appreciate the 40% off for the first two months as I'm currently unemployed and the therapist I've been working with is very fit to match me with my needs and help that I require. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to reach out whenever I need to and the response is very prompt. 10/10"

"I’ve struggled with my mental health my entire life. I recently be struggling with a measurable amount of grief and anxiety, and just overall feeling lonely and isolated. Taking the step to sign up for therapy was easy and thanks to this website I was able to get connected and seen within 24 hours. This has been extremely helpful versus traditional therapy, where often you were waitlisted and can take weeks for you to be seen, is extremely discouraging when you don’t feel like you have weeks to be seen. I’ve never had an online therapy like this but, so far I really have enjoyed the videos and worksheet exercises where I feel that I am being more overall, mindful of my feelings and getting them out instead of feeling like I have to talk quickly to ensure I get everything out and the time allotted."
