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.

"My therapist is helping me a lot. I am glad that I can talk to therapist at home. However, when my husband got his therapist regarding insomnia, couldn’t get help from his therapist. She said she can’t help my husband. So..I thought it was strange. But my experience was good"

"Online Therapy has been a lifeline to regain myself. Going through life issues that I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams. Dr. Lucy Evans has been helpful in a way that is hard to describe. Living in a twilight zone - she has helped me navigate life and regain my life.

The entire process has been a worthwhile endeavor.

The idea that I can reach out when I have time & need to express my pain & grief & not necessarily wait for an appointment has been invaluable.

The amount of assistance provided by the technical team is top notch customer service.

I highly recommend this service for anyone who is unsure whether an online system is worthwhile!"
