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 love the worksheets along with examples and explanations. I also love the yoga sessions. This platform is great for hands on self evaluation which I enjoy doing. What would make it a 5 star experience would be the UI. I believe it can be more streamline. For example, when a therapist replies to my worksheet, I have to click on that specific worksheet. It took some time to get it but just an example how we can make it easier. I also believe rebooking a therapist can be easier. Finding the live session link is fine but it took some looking around to see where to rebook. Just little things"

"I really enjoy the service. IT gave me an option to get my mental health back on track at time where I didn't know where to go and I didn't have insurance at the time. I use mostly the site mostly as a journal and a place to talk to my therapist after I finished the initial content on the site but overall it has made big changes to my life. the fact that it does help with financial support if you can afford the full price is nice too."

"I really have enjoyed my therapy sessions so far with my current therapist, Bernadette. As someone who travels quite a lot, I especially prefer this website as I can be super flexible with my appointments and if anything gets in the way, I almost always have the opportunity to reschedule my appointment. I tend to be really busy before prioritizing my mental health, so this is a great outlet for me to work on myself while also still living my daily life!"

"I love how interactive this platform is with worksheets and messaging your therapist. My therapist is also very skilled in his profession. I've tried two other online therapy services with no luck. Online-therapy is exceeding expectations and I'll continue using this platform when services are needed."
