BIPOLAR AND PERSONALITY DISORDERS TREATMENT
NEUROFEEDBACK & CBT TREATMENT APPROACH FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe.
Bipolar disorder typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood, although some people have their first symptoms during childhood. Many go undiagnosed and untreated. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder must be carefully managed throughout a person’s life.
Bipolar Symptoms Alternate Between Manic and Depressive Episodes
High energy
Reduced need for sleep
Loss of touch with reality
Low energy
Low motivation
Loss of interest in daily activities

for Bipolar & Personality Disorders
Neurofeedback can improve the lives of those with bipolar disorder by retraining the brain to have more emotional control. The therapy can help mood swings become more manageable, and lessen feelings of depression and anxiety.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people with bipolar disorder learn to improve their thought patterns, behaviors, and mindsets to have a higher quality of life. A multifactorial approach is crucial to treating these types of disorders, as many distrust or feel uncomfortable only taking medication.
In addition, keeping a chart of daily mood symptoms, treatments, sleep patterns, and life events may help people with bipolar disorder and their families to better understand the illness. This chart also can help the doctor track and treat the illness most effectively.

How does Neurofeedback work?
-
1. Brain map
Brainwave assessment identifies imbalances and helps to create a personalized treatment plan.
-
2. Treatment setup
Non-invasive sensors and headphones are placed on your head and the treatment session begins.
-
3. Brain activation
Software translates your brainwave data and stops or starts audio/visual media based on your brain activity.
-
4. Conditioning
In response to the audio/visual feedback, your brain adapts and learns to regulate your brainwaves and build new, healthy neural pathways.
-
5. Brain Training
Over time with continuous brain training, healthy brain activity in target regions increases, and symptom-associated activity decreases.
