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 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."

"The journey so far has been great, easy questionnaire to find a therapist, matched quickly, and my therapist reached out/checked in before our first session to put me at ease. Still got a long way to go but very pleased so far and the resources seem great."

"I started therapy about three weeks ago, and my therapist has been amazing! After completing a few online questionnaires, the therapist had a good starting point to address my concerns. He has been invaluable in giving me tools to deal with my issues, and I have scheduled my first video session. So far, I can definitely say it is worth the money. I work out of the US, and we are still able to communicate several times a week."
