Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is often misunderstood as simple mood fluctuations, but it is a clinical mental health condition that causes significant mood “episodes,” including periods of intense mania and profound depression. People experiencing these dramatic shifts often describe the feeling as tiring and unpredictable. Without proper education on the disorder, their family and friends may struggle to provide the necessary support.

Education around the episodes of mania and depression is crucial and is always a part of the therapeutic process at Resilience Therapy.
