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.

"Taking things one week at a time. I look forward to my video sessions and I appreciate the opportunity to send messages in between. I am learning more about who I truly am and feel less alone now that I have someone to talk through my issues with. This is perfect for me because I work from home and it fits in with my schedule. I have already recommended this to a couple friends!"

"I have had a really unexpectedly transformative time. The CBT course was amazing alongside engaging with the therapist. The combination has helped me to detangle myself from old patterns. Words cant describe how grateful I am to Brian for being kind, honest and supportive. Id highly recommend him to everyone who signs up for the course and wants to choose their own therapist. It has really been a life changing experience!"

"I've only been utilizing the service for three weeks, but I already feel well-supported and understood, and I'm beginning to see some small improvements. The feature that allows me to communicate via messages in between sessions has been particularly beneficial for me. Additionally, the ease of determining which therapist truly suits my needs is a crucial aspect for me. The platform offers extensive options for those who wish to engage with the assessment forms available on the website. This allows for a more comprehensive self-examination and the opportunity to share these insights with the therapist, receive feedback, and access all information for future reference. Occasionally, I would like the ability to share a PDF file; as someone who paints frequently, I find it limiting that I am unable to share my artwork on the platform. Nonetheless, I have found the support I was seeking here overall."
