Bipolar disorder

Individuals with bipolar disorder experience significant fluctuations in their mood including manic or hypomanic episodes (‘highs’) and depressive episodes (‘lows’). The term ‘bipolar’ refers to the way that mood can change between the two extremes. Different types of bipolar disorder are diagnosed depending upon which combination of mood states are experienced. Psychological approaches have been demonstrated to complement purely medical management of bipolar disorder (lam et al, 1999; Otto et al, 2009).
