Bipolar Disorder
Alyxx S Berg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, CDP, MHP
To begin with - and I refuse to accept stigma around this - I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder Type 1 (full manic episodes) when I was in my late teens/early 20's. With a combination of medication and therapy, my moods are (mostly) stable and my life is (mostly) in balance. I have a ton of tools that I use, and more that I can offer to work with you on this very challenging diagnosis!

Are these experiences causing damage or stress in your life and relationships? If so, please reach out and learn how to find some balance in what often feels like a chaos.

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.
