Bipolar Disorder
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To be clear, bipolar disorder is not just having simple mood swings. This is a biochemical condition through which people experience severe highs and lows. Medication is key to keeping stable.
Still, psychotherapy can play an incredibly important role, too. People living with bipolar disorder often experience serious lows, during which it can be hard to carry on with their normal lives and routines. I have worked with many clients with this illness using all different kinds of evidence-based practices to improve their daily functioning and get through the tough times. We will also try to find ways to reduce stress in your life, as stress has been suggested to trigger cycling between mania and depression.

Bipolar Disorder
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder consists of several key ingredients, which exist in addition to compliance to a medication regimen supervised by a physician. First, clients learn how to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Clients also learn how to identify what triggers bipolar episodes, and effective strategies to manage stress and to cope with upsetting situations.
Second, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) has clients stabilize daily rhythms, such as sleeping, waking and mealtimes. A consistent routine allows for better mood management. Clients with bipolar disorder benefit from establishing a daily routine for sleep, diet and exercise.
Thirdly, clients are provided with psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, which can help them and their loved ones understand the condition. Being fully informed about one's condition can help a client to get the best support, identify issues, make a plan to prevent relapse and stick with treatment.
Lastly, family support and healthy communication can help clients stick with their treatment plan and help them and their loved ones recognize and manage warning signs of mood swings.
