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.

Bipolar disorder is a disorder and chronic mental illness that causes extreme mood shifts, energy shifts, and the ability to carry out day to day tasks. One of the hallmarks is having extremely elevated moods or highs called mania cycled with extremely low episodes of depression. During manic episodes, they may engage in impulsive and risky behaviors and during depressive episodes they may be hopeless and even suicidal. There is also hypomania which can be referenced as Bipolar II disorder. It is similar to mania, but it not as severe. Bipolar is hard to diagnose due to the varied symptoms. There is a comorbidity with alcohol and substance abuse as well and anxiety and other somatic medical conditions. Bipolar causes are genetics, abnormalities in brain function, environmental factors of trauma as well as illness. Therapy can help you deal with these concerns.
