With Bipolar Disorder, there can be a constant feeling of instability—what will my mood be today and can I control it? To say there are highs and lows doesn’t really capture what you are experiencing and how challenging it is.
For most people with Bipolar Disorder—whether Bipolar I or Bipolar II, the standard of care is a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Medication helps stabilize your mood but it is usually not enough. Mood stability requires emotion regulation by learning skills to manage your mood and build resiliency.
Expert Psychotherapy with Dr. Ed focuses on building structure in your life, the foundation of stability for individuals living with Bipolar Disorder. Small changes in daily routines, improved sleep, and healthy habits can make a big impact on your functioning and quality of life. And, this approach prioritizes relapse prevention to reduce the risks of manic or hypomanic episodes as well as depression.
Effective treatment is grounded in rigorous evidence-based methods—these are Fixed Values. But no single approach works for every individual. Real progress requires Flexible Treatment: the ability to adapt—thoughtfully and skillfully—to each person’s unique life circumstances. The result? To move forward toward improved functioning and living life with the meaning and purpose you desire.
