Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings. They can include extreme excitement episodes or extreme depressive feelings.
Immersive Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a treatment that can be applied to a wide range of issues, including the management of bipolar disorder. Treatment with CBT focuses on identifying problems and reactions to them. It then helps replace these reactions with more objective, balanced thoughts. This can create self-awareness and strengthened coping skills.
