Bipolar Therapy

Bipolar Therapy Treatment Options

Dealing with bipolar disorder is incredibly difficult and nobody would expect you to do it on your own. There are a variety of bipolar therapy treatment options that you can explore when you work with a therapist near me. Here are a few that you might try to help manage your condition.

​

Medications

​

Many times you will be prescribed with medications to help manage the immediate symptoms of bipolar disorder. These may include anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and anti-depressants. Your doctor will be able to assess your symptoms to determine which medications will be most helpful for you. These are often used to jump start therapy so that you can manage your worst symptoms while following up with other therapies more effectively.

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

​

Often abbreviated to CBT, this is a type of psychotherapy that gives you the tools you need to change your patterns of thinking. You and your therapist may engage in role-playing, to help you prepare for interactions that may cause problems, facing your fears instead of avoiding them, and techniques to calm and relax your mind and body.

​

Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy

​

IPSRT is an adjunctive therapy which aims to manage bipolar symptoms and improve interpersonal relationships. This type of therapy will provide you with techniques that can help you to take your medications correctly, better manage the stressful events of life, and reduce the disruptions in social rhythms. These skills will help you to protect yourself against the development of future bipolar episodes.
