Treatment for Bipolar Disorder

The aim of any treatment for Bipolar Disorder is to reduce symptoms and recurrence of episodes as well as increase your ability to function normally. Treatment includes:

Mood stabilizing medications, antidepressants, and anti-psychotic drugs
Psychotherapy
Educating yourself about the condition
Lifestyle changes
Support groups
Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, and family-focused therapy
Other complementary treatments for bipolar disorder include light and dark therapy (to improve sleep and mood cycles), meditation (to reduce stress), and acupuncture
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used in severe cases where medication does not help
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be used after ECT to treat affected areas of the brain
