Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
The highs feel like finally becoming yourself. The lows feel like proof that the real you was the broken one all along. Somewhere between these two convictions is a person trying to hold a life together across states that seem to belong to different people entirely. Therapy here is not about flattening the range. It is about building a self sturdy enough to remain continuous through it — to know, in the middle of either pole, that you are still the one who was there yesterday and will be there tomorrow. Bipolar Disorder requires us to work with effective medication management, as we are dually wrestling with a medical and psychological phenomenon.

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.
