Part of the key to long term success for one with bipolar disorder is the acceptance that he/she has the disorder....but it is only a part of the person. Bipolar doesn't define you. It is part of what makes you unique.

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.
