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 really like the lessons and especially the worksheets. They’re very useful because they help me identify my problems and work on improving them. It makes me feel like an active participant. I also like that I can choose whether to watch the video, listen to the audio, or read the text. Overall, I’d say this course is more comprehensive than any other CBT treatment I’ve done so far."

"I found Dr. Lucy Evans via the Online Therapy portal, and she has been amazing. If she is a representation of the therapists that are screened for this site, then I would recommend it to anyone. Dr. Evans is incredibly brilliant at what she does and takes my real world scenarios and helps me understand the cause and effect using psychological and physiological principals. The therapy portal is always consistent and sends meeting reminders regularly at a great interval. I love the worksheets and yoga, all the extras that the portal offers with therapy."
