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.
Sometimes, Bipolar Depression is called manic depression because it cycles people between a low, depressed mood and a high, frenetic mood. It is a serious mental illness that affects almost 6 million people in the United States, and there are effective treatments for it. When people work with a mental health professional to find a diagnosis and a treatment plan, they often overcome their Bipolar live a happy, fulfilled life.
The bipolar depression counselors and therapists on staff at Thriveworks Counseling in Westborough have helped many clients do just that—find the help and support they need to treat Bipolar and live their lives. If you think you could benefit from bipolar depression help, reach out to Thriveworks Westborough today.
The drastic shifts in mood that Bipolar brings can be mysterious and confusing to people who suffer through them. Learning about the signs of Bipolar can bring understanding and relief. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) gives a full and helpful definition of both the depression episodes and the mania episodes of Bipolar Disorder.
The DSM-5 describes the depressive cycle as when individuals experience a weepy, sad, and/or empty state of mind as well as an unconcerned attitude about daily life. Further, they experience at least three of the following symptoms:
When people experience these criteria for a greater portion of every day and for a continuous period of two weeks (at least), then they may be in a depression cycle of Bipolar. The opposite pole to which people may swing is mania. When people stereotype mania, they usually imagine euphoric energy, but the reality is that the flood of emotions people feel during mania can be either irritable or elated.
The following criteria is detailed in the DSM-5 for a mania cycle:
When people have been diagnosed with Bipolar, it is vital that they find an experienced and skilled therapist whom they trust. Just as someone who has been diagnosed with cancer needs to work closely with their oncologist for treatment, so people who have a form of Bipolar Disorder will need to work closely with a mental health professional. Along with following a therapist’s treatment plan, here are a few ways people with Bipolar can cope.
1. Join a Support Group. Support groups are a great place where people with Bipolar and/or their loved ones can empathize with others who may be experiencing similar difficulties. These groups can often be found in-person or online.
2. Remember to Hope. Being diagnosed with Bipolar can be scary, but in the past few years, mental health professionals have made great strides in understanding and treating this illness. Many people live a wonderful, happy life with the Bipolar diagnosis.
