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.

"This program has been very helpful already, and I feel like I have just begun.
Not only have the worksheets been extremely useful as writing prompts to help me think about my own thought processes and come up with solutions on my own, my therapist has also been very helpful in guiding me into directions that I may otherwise have not thought of. I am hoping that these tools I am learning will lead me in success with what I wish to acheive."

"It's a great platform for any one desiring self improvement!
Not just for those who are in trouble
I recommend everyone should take some of the issues of life to a therapist.
My experience is that another trained person has a vantage point and it's of huge benefit to gain insight into your own self.
Nice interface and therapists promt to answer your queries.
Well done!"

"Vanessa is great!!!
She replies me daily with great insight and feedback.
I have been progressing fairly quickly with her guidance.
Of course is not like magic I am putting the work and tools in practice.
But it wouldn’t been possible without her kindnesses, knowledge and support.
Thank you!!!"

"I’ve never imagined myself as someone who would go into therapy, preferring to work through issues on my own. This has completely changed my outlook and I’m glad I made the decision to start with this platform. It has helped me so much."

"This program is amazing and my therapist was fantastic. With her help I was able to learn more about my mental health, learn how to change negative thoughts into positive ones, manage my anger, see things from a more positive perspective, and forgive myself and others. I highly recommend this program!!!!"
