Therapy For Bipolar Disorder
New Client SCREENER

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a treatable illness characterized by severe changes in mood, thought, energy, and attitude.  People who have bipolar disorder go through different mood changes--from incredibly happy and active, to incredibly sad, hopeless, and inactive, and then back again. The causes of bipolar disorder are not always apparent, but it may be linked to hereditary factors, and brain structure and function may also play a role.  If not treated, bipolar disorder can lead to damaged relationships, poor job, or school performance, and even suicide.
​
TREATMENT: Bipolar disorder can be managed with a combination of medication and evidence-based psychotherapies
(minimum 5-10 therapy sessions recommended). Available psychotherapies include:
Psychoeducation: Learning about the symptoms, management, and treatment of bipolar disorder.
Relaxation training and behavioural activation: Involves regularly practicing breathing exercises, relaxation exercises, and engaging in activities that are relaxing, enjoyable, or useful.
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT): Teaches you how to challenge/change problematic thought patterns and unhelpful behaviours that contribute to symptoms.
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT): Helps you  stabilize circadian rhythm disruptions by reducing relationship stress and maintaining a healthy sleep, eating, and exercise routine.  

"To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist."
