Abstract

This paper discusses Psychotherapeutic intervention used to treat bipolar disorder. It aims to highlight the importance of psychotherapeutic treatment interventions for individuals with bipolar and the benefits to their families and society. These benefits include improved quality of life, financial status and engagement with psychiatric service, resulting in better medication adherence. In this paper we look at psychotherapeutic interventions both as an adjunct to pharmacology and as an independent treatment of bipolar disorder.

Keywords: bipolar, psychotherapeutic, pharmacology, cognitive behaviour therapy, psychoeducation, family therapy, social rhythm therapy
