Bipolar Disorder
Launi Treece
Psychologist, PhD
I have been in practice for almost 25 years and have seen many varieties of Bipolar over the years. Often the patient and I create a list of symptoms for the manic episodes as well as the depression episodes so that we can become more aware of when it is occurring. We can also create personalized lists for how to cope with the mania or depression. I can discuss medication options in a knowledgable way.

Tracey Pearson-Heaney
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder. With bipolar a persons mood tends to fluctuate from depressed to manic. For example you can feel sad and depressed, lose interest or lack motivation. Then you mood will shift and you may feel energetic, euphoric sometimes irritable. While there are other signs a person can be depressed or manic these are some of the most recognizable difficulties associated with bipolar. While bipolar is relatively common it takes a trained mental health professional to make an accurate diagnosis which usually involves medication and talk therapy.

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.
