Tell Me More About Bipolar Disorder.
3. What are the psychological therapies for bipolar disorder?
Psychotherapy helps relieve stress through discussion and expression of feelings. It also helps change negative attitudes, behaviours, and habits into more helpful patterns and healthier ways of living.
Psychotherapy is much more likely to be helpful for depression than mania, since patients in a manic phase often have trouble retaining what they learn. Psychotherapy can be individual, group, or family. The person who provides therapy may be the doctor or another clinician who works in partnership with the doctor.
