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.

"Online therapy has helped me considerably with my thoughts and emotions. My therapist has been great at enabling me to feeling my emotions and ask me questions to assist in that process. I’ve never felt pressured into sharing information and she has taken time with me as I’ve opened up. I recommend the service to anyone no matter what you need to discuss. Sometimes we just need that little extra support system and that’s okay."

"I really enjoyed this online therapy platform. Having the different sections and worksheets has helped me daily with my thoughts and emotions. I like the fact that I could message my therapist anytime during the week and get valuable feedback. I love the flexibility of this program. I’ve been able to schedule my video sessions on my time. I highly recommend this program."

"I am so grateful for the Online-Therapy.com program and Beth Lakes, who has been my Therapist since I signed up 2.5 mo ago. Beth is amazing because she cares, she listens and makes me feel understood, and she has helped me redirect my dysfunctional thoughts, and she shares so many valuable tools- and the key is to be in constant communication with the Therapist do the worksheets, activity plan, and write in the journal, I believe.
To get better takes courage and work, and it’s been challenging at times but it’s all worth it. I can see a change taking place in my thought patterns- and in my behavior. I feel more at peace- with controlling what I can control, and let go of everything else I can’t control. I have found a healthier way to deal with my emotions- especially with my anger who almost destroyed my marriage."
