    Bipolar Programme

    The Bipolar Programme is one of the psychological treatment programmes that CCI offers. It is a cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) programme. Treatment CBT is based on the concept that our emotions and actions are largely influenced by our thoughts. CBT has been used successfully to treat depression and anxiety problems for many years, but more recently, it has been adapted as a treatment for bipolar disorder. CBT is an adjunctive treatment for Bipolar Disorder, which means it is used in addition to medication treatment. The treatment programme involves learning how to

    monitor and understand mood symptoms identify early warning signs for episodes deal with stressful events that can trigger episodes

    The CBT programme will also teach you techniques and strategies to help you manage episodes of depression and mania. Our CBT group programme for people with bipolar disorder is called the Bipolar Group. The Bipolar Group runs for 12 weekly sessions of 2 hours each. Where group treatment is not suitable, we are able to offer individual treatment. In this case, you and your individual therapist will discuss and decide on the focus and length of therapy.
