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.
Bipolar disorder can be unnerving and confusing to those who suffer with it and to their loved ones, but mental health professionals are learning more and more about the illness and how to treat it. Many of those six million people are finding the help they need for their bipolar diagnosis, and they are living healthy, happy lives.
Psychiatrists and other licensed mental health providers at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO offer treatment for bipolar disorder, and our professionals have guided many clients toward the psychological, emotional, social, and physical help they needed to live the life they want with a chronic health condition.
While the clinical term is bipolar disorder, many people call this mental illness manic depression because it shifts people between episodes of mania and depression. Mania and depression are the two (bi) poles of type 1 bipolar disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) details the characteristics of each pole.
The cliché of mania is a euphoric high, and at times, people do experience this. However, mania can also be a frenetic irritation as well. The characteristics of mania are as follows according to the DSM-5:
The other mood of bipolar disorder is depression. The DSM-5 says that the depression phase of bipolar disorder must extend for a minimum of two weeks. Individuals will feel weepy, empty, and/or sad as well as losing interest in everyday life for a significant portion of the day. At least three of the following signs will also be present:
Someone can also be diagnosed with bipolar II disorder (or type 2 bipolar disorder). People who have bipolar 2 experience major depression, but a less severe cycle of mania. This is called hypomania.
One of the most important steps in living with bipolar disorder is to find a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. The key is working with a mental health profession who is trained and experienced with bipolar disorder and its various forms. Licensed psychiatrists can diagnose, treat, and help prevent bipolar disorder episodes with a variety of evidence-based approaches, including psychiatric medication. Long-term medication management is often a big part of thriving with bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists and other qualified mental health providers at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO can evaluate clients who are experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder, or who have a family history of the condition. Then they can develop a treatment plan that works for the client.
