Bipolar disorder therapy from our providers at Thriveworks in Columbus, OH is an effective form of mental health treatment for those with bipolar disorder. It helps one to better navigate their unique experience, which might come with hypomanic, manic, or depressive episodes.
Bipolar disorder therapy works to help you manage your specific symptoms as well as improve your relationships. It can also help you cope with stress, a major contributor to the disorder.
Our bipolar disorder therapy services are conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you when working with one of providers at Thriveworks in Columbus, OH.
The length of bipolar disorder therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. However, short-term, problem-focused therapy for bipolar disorder typically lasts for 12-16 weeks. Therapy may last longer for those who have more severe or persistent symptoms.
Two extreme mood stages are what make up Bipolar Disorder, also sometimes called Bipolar Depression. Bipolar Disorder can be a terrifying and confusing disorder if not addressed. The dramatic mood-shifts that give it its name can have extreme financial and health implications.
As scary as all this may be, it is more than possible to live with Bipolar and still have a happy, fulfilling life. Thriveworks Columbus bipolar disorder therapists understand the pressure Bipolar can put on your life, and how much you want to be free of it. Together, we can work out a strategy so you remain in control of your life. If you are ready to schedule an appointment, give us a call at (614) 515-6291.
People with Bipolar Disorder will undergo two distinct mood phases: a depressive phase and a manic phase. A depressive phase is a spout of depression. A manic phase can come on suddenly; you might be full of energy, be pursuing multiple different activities, and make fraught financial decisions.
The manic episode is the tell-tale sign of Bipolar. Some of the symptoms of a manic phase include:
The abrupt and drastic changes of a manic episode can be terrifying and anxiety-inducing. With the right medication and treatment plan, though, it is manageable and maybe even avoidable. Thriveworks is here to be a guide in the murky world of treatment plans. We will support and encourage you until we find a good fit. You are always the main focus of a counseling session, and we will keep your goals and lifestyle in mind as we construct a treatment plan.
A manic episode is only half of Bipolar. The depression stage is often longer lasting and equally, if not more, devastating. Similar to a depressive episode, symptoms include:
Nothing about depression is fun. It’s like you’re stuck in a blackhole that keeps dragging you down. Except there is a way out. Thriveworks Columbus is here fighting for you. We have the training and experience needed to help you not only survive Bipolar but thrive despite it. Our Columbus counselors strive to form a relationship with all our clients and will continue to work with you for as long as it takes.
Researchers have found the right combination of medication and talk therapy works best for bipolar disorder treatment, and when combined with your strength and courage, it can be more than enough to break free from the chaotic chains of Bipolar.
Medication is a staple in most treatment plans for Bipolar. It might take a while to find the right dosage and type, but that’s what our counselors will help you with. And of course, talking to a professional is always important. It will not only help with the depressive episodes, but also enable you to work through any anxieties and doubts as they come up. It can make managing your medication a smoother transition and build healthy habits that will take you beyond what you thought was possible after a Bipolar Disorder diagnosis.
A healthy, happy, fulfilling life is possible with Bipolar Disorder. If you think you or a loved one is struggling with Bipolar, Thriveworks Columbus can help you through the next possible steps. Give us a call at (614) 515-6291 to schedule your appointment. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances.
