While it is common for people to experience mood changes from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression), their mood shifts between periods of elevated or highly energized mood (manic or hypomanic episodes) and periods of depression.

During manic episodes, a person may feel unusually energetic, confident, and active, often needing less sleep. These periods can alternate with depressive phases that involve low mood, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, but many people learn ways to better understand and manage mood changes and build stability over time. Our online therapy program uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles to help people better understand their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. CBT is often used as a supportive approach alongside medical care. With guidance from a therapist, you can learn to recognize early warning signs of mood changes, develop healthier coping strategies, and build routines that support emotional stability. By increasing awareness of potential triggers and learning practical skills, many people find it easier to manage stress and maintain a more balanced daily life.

People experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder should consult qualified healthcare professionals for proper evaluation and care.

"I have a very busy work schedule and I have wanted to start therapy for quite some time. The nature of my work makes my schedule unpredictable and subject to last minute changes. I am so happy I found Online Therapy. Not only do they use evidence based practices, have efficient therapists, and tons of available teams on every day of the week, but also I schedule my own appointments when my work schedule is locked in. I couldn't ask for more."

"Overall I believe the self-guided course and worksheets are useful and indicative of the different, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors I was exhibiting over the weeks.

I could have made more use of the Yoga, Activity Plan, Journal, and Messaging feature, but being able to talk to a live therapist once a week was very useful in getting me on the right path and ending up creating those tools on my own."

"The help and support I have received from my counselor has really helped me take account of what is going on in my life. The combination of worksheets and live sessions have made a difference in showing me ways to better my thought processes and enhance my day to day life."
