Bipolar disorder involves mood shifts that go beyond normal ups and downs, from high-energy stretches to depressive lows that can each last days or weeks. If you haven't been diagnosed yet, that typically happens with a psychiatrist, but therapy can still help while you figure that out.
For clients managing a bipolar diagnosis, therapy focuses on recognizing your own early warning signs, building routines that support stability, and having a steady space to process what mood shifts do to your relationships, work, and sense of self. It works alongside any medical treatment you have in place, not instead of it.
