Manage Your Bipolar with Online Therapy

Category: Bipolar | Last updated: October 18th, 2018 | Reviewed and approved by:

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.

"The program is as described; you figure things out as you go along using the worksheets. The good thing is the method can apply to any issue, the bad thing is the method can apply to any issue. I chose the program because I was looking for help for a specific issue. I'm not sure my issue will be resolved but so far it's been beneficial with other things that are going on."

"The online therapy is really helping me. It’s helped me learn things about myself that I didn’t realize until I started exploring it. Writing it all down and communicating with the therapist, as well as the online courses, have helped my whole attitude for the better, and most of all, my wife has noticed and is happier :)"

"Great directed questions, helpful!
Only four stars because the UI is a bit frustrating (but I work in IT and web development so I'm quite critical!)"

"This has been proving to be a great resource. I like how direct the program is with identifying problematic thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Then you get a back and forth conversation with a therapist that helps identify things that would have otherwise been overlooked.

I'm about a third of the way through the program, but have been taking my time to flesh things out. This definitely is one of those "you get out what you put in" situations. Looking forward to completing the program."
