Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression)When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behaviour and the ability to think clearly. Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and various powerful therapies like hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.

PLEASE NOTE

Therapies for psychotic disorders are given with compliments to the on-going medication prescribed by a psychiatrist. However, we need to understand that the medication JUST works on the symptoms, dressing the surface. Therapy is a gradual process and works on the very roots of the ailment, aiding the overall growth of the patient with negligible or no records of severe relapses.
