What is the treatment for bipolar depression?

The treatment for bipolar depression is different from general depression because it must address both depressive and manic phases. Common approaches include:

  • Medication: mood stabilisers (like lithium), atypical antipsychotics, and sometimes antidepressants
  • Psychological therapies: CBT, psychoeducation, and interpersonal therapy
  • Lifestyle support: regular sleep, exercise, and stress management
  • NDIS supports: for Australians living with functional impacts, NDIS may help with daily supports and therapy access.
Treatment is usually ongoing and tailored to the individual. With the right care, many people with bipolar disorder live stable, fulfilling lives.
