What is the theory behind this mood monitoring worksheet Bipolar disorder?
The term “Bipolar” refers to the ability to alternate between the two extremes of mood. Extreme mood fluctuations with emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression) are a symptom of bipolar disorder, which is also called manic depression. Psychotherapy and medicine are frequently used in an effective treatment strategy. Although interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) and family-focused therapy are newer therapies created expressly for the treatment of bipolar disease, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) continues to be a significant treatment for bipolar disorder.
