Bipolar disorder
What Is dipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterised by significant mood swings, including depressive episodes and periods of mania or hypomania. These extreme highs and lows can occur often, or as infrequently as once or twice annually. If left untreated, bipolar disorder can lead to severe depression and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Misconceptions about bipolar disorder often paint those affected as seeking attention or being dangerous and aggressive – however, while bipolar disorder can cause mood swings and emotional outbursts, individuals with this condition are rarely a danger to others. Bipolar disorder can affect anyone, regardless of their success or capabilities; it’s with curated treatment and support that individuals with bipolar disorder can manage the symptoms effectively and lead fulfilling, balanced lives.

What is Harbor London?
At Harbor, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals facing mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder. The condition requires specialised and nuanced treatment, as it involves managing both depressive episodes and manic phases.
Our approach is whole-person and deeply personalised, combining evidence-based therapies with wellbeing support to address your individual needs – for instance, we often integrate cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help manage negative thought patterns during depressive episodes, alongside medication management to stabilize mood swings. Our multidisciplinary team, comprising psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and nutritionists, collaborates to create wholly-curated treatment; addressing not only the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but also promoting overall wellbeing.
We know that mental health conditions often co-occur, and we’re here to support you if you’re also dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma-related conditions. A client might receive psychotherapy to address underlying emotional triggers, for example, while also participating in mindfulness practices and adopting a curated nutritional meal plan to enhance resilience, coping skills, and overall wellbeing. At Harbor, you’ll find a sanctuary to focus on healing and recovery, safe in the knowledge that you are in expert hands every step of the way.
How we work
The misconceptions & realities of bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is often misunderstood, leading to numerous misconceptions about the condition – and those who live with it. One common myth is that individuals with bipolar disorder are simply experiencing normal mood swings, when in reality, they endure intense episodes of mania and depression that can disrupt their daily lives. These episodes are not just fleeting emotions but can last for weeks or even months, significantly impacting their ability to function.
Another misconception is that bipolar disorder only involves periods of high energy and happiness. The truth is that manic phases can also include irritability, impulsiveness, and poor decision-making, often leading to consequences such as strained relationships or financial problems. Additionally, depressive episodes can be severe, marked by profound sadness, hopelessness, and even suicidal thoughts. Bipolar disorder does not exist in isolation. Many individuals with this condition also struggle with co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.
There are also links to substance abuse, as some people turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate and manage their symptoms. Similarly, compulsive behaviours such as excessive exercise or sex addiction can be attempts to gain control over their emotional state. Equally, trauma-related conditions often exacerbate bipolar disorder, as past traumatic experiences can trigger or intensify mood episodes. The stigma surrounding mental health, particularly bipolar disorder, can prevent people from seeking the help they need.

FAQs:
Bipolar disorder treatment at Harbor London
What is the difference between inpatient treatment for bipolar disorder and other levels of care?
Inpatient treatment for bipolar disorder involves moving into and staying at a treatment environment, providing round-the-clock care in a structured and supportive environment. This level of care is more intensive than outpatient services, offering immediate access to medical and therapeutic professionals, which is essential for managing severe symptoms. In contrast, outpatient care allows individuals to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions and appointments, providing flexibility but less immediate support.
When would inpatient treatment be recommended for individuals with bipolar disorder?
Inpatient treatment is recommended for individuals experiencing severe manic or depressive episodes, those at risk of harming themselves or others, or when outpatient treatment has not been effective. It is also advised for patients who need a controlled environment to stabilize their condition, away from the triggers and stresses of everyday life. This intensive setting ensures comprehensive care and rapid intervention when necessary.
How do your inpatient treatment programmes address both manic and depressive episodes of bipolar disorder?
Our inpatient treatment programmes at Harbor are designed to address both manic and depressive episodes through a balanced, whole-person approach. We use mood-stabilizing medications to manage and prevent severe mood swings, combined with tailored psychotherapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help patients develop coping strategies. Our multidisciplinary team closely monitors each patient’s progress, adjusting treatment plans as needed to ensure both manic and depressive symptoms are effectively managed.
What types of therapies and interventions are commonly used for BPD treatment?
For bipolar disorder treatment, we employ a range of therapies and interventions, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns, interpersonal therapy (IPT) to improve relationships, and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) to enhance emotional regulation. Medication management, such as mood stabilizers and antipsychotic drugs, may also be a key component. Additionally, we incorporate wellness therapies like mindfulness, yoga, and nutritional counselling to support overall wellbeing.
How can individuals with BPD develop coping strategies and prevent relapse?
Through individualised therapy sessions, patients learn to recognise early warning signs of mood changes and develop personalised strategies to cope with stress and triggers. Our aftercare program includes continued therapy and support, and regular follow-up appointments to ensure sustained progress and stability. We also educate patients on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular sleep patterns, balanced nutrition, and exercise.
How much does inpatient treatment for bipolar disorder cost?
The cost of inpatient treatment for bipolar disorder varies depending on the duration of your stay, the specific therapies, and the treatments involved. For detailed pricing information, contact us directly.
