What is bipolar disorder?

  • Bipolar, also known as manic depression, is a mood disorder that is characterised by severe shifts in an individual mood.

  • In the most severe cases of bipolar, the changes between depression and euphoria can occur every few days.

  • Like psychosis, bipolar can result in delusional behavioural patterns.

  • Other symptoms of bipolar include anxiety, self-harm, and substance use to cope with the effects.

How can MAPP help?

  • If you suffer from bipolar it can be difficult to communicate this to people.

  • At MAPP Psychology we acknowledge how much of an issue this can be, and will work with you to build helpful strategies.

  • The knowledge you build will allow you to adapt to the challenges you face in your life.

  • We aim to provide all our patients with the essential tools to sustain better relationships with themselves and loved ones long after they have left therapy.

What results can you expect?

  • Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you take an action-oriented approach to the changes in your emotions.

  • Other interventions like mindfulness can build resilience toward mood swings, meaning you can be more observant of the changes occurring.

  • Taking the first step toward therapy is often the most challenging, and we are here to collaborate with you so that you can aim toward a better future. 

At MAPP, therapy starts with you.

Your psychologist takes the time to listen, then builds a plan around your goals and circumstances.

What makes that possible is the depth & range of training and experience our doctors of psychology bring to the table. Our psychologists are trained in a broad span of therapy modalities, from CBT and ACT to compassion-focused therapy, person-centred therapy and everything in between.

We fit the approach to you, not you to the approach, and regular check-ins keep it working as your needs change.

We're committed to giving you the support and tools you need to build towards a happier, healthier life.
