Bipolar disorder

What It Is

A Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Is Not a Life Sentence. It Is a Map.

One of the hardest things about bipolar disorder is the time between the diagnosis and the point where someone actually feels in control of their life again. The medication helps. But medication alone does not teach you how to recognize the early warning signs of an episode, manage the relational damage that manic or depressive periods can cause, or build a life that reduces triggers.

That is where counseling comes in.
