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.

"I've been to various doctors for my chonic headache over the past 2 and a half years and also did chiro and everything else, but those didn't help at all. With Dr. Evans' help, though, I've been able to achieve a meaningful reduction in my pain! It's awesome! She also has a keen way of understanding your situation without you having to spell it out, which is exactly what you want in a therapist.

Thanks, Dr. Evans!"

"It's so easy to get started, you can do the therapy from the comfort of your home, easily before work or on your lunch break, and it's amazing always having access to a therapist when you have a comment or question outside of regular therapy hours. Definitely recommend, whether it's something big or small that you're dealing with!"

"I have been generally satisfied with the service. Especially since I upgraded and got access to the live sessions. The basic plan didn't feel as engaging."

"I love this platform! There are so many ways to write and express yourself and have your therapist respond. The worksheets help identify the areas where you need the most clarification. Daily written contact helps greatly as you progress and having a therapist respond sooner than just a once a week live session makes a big difference."

"It has been good so far! I appreciate my therapist so much, really my only negative is I wish there was an app because it is harder to navigate on the phone."

"I never thought that I would need therapy, but I am trying it and just a few days in and it is definitely helping already!"

"I think the combination of worksheets/individual work coupled with the talk sessions is a good combination. I am feeling supported in being reflective in areas necessary to change thoughts/behaviours - the challenge is turning short term focus into long term growth that sticks!"
