Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy for Bipolar Disorder

Although the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder is medication management, research shows that IPSRT can help, as adjunctive therapy, to reduce the frequency of manic episodes. IPSRT works by helping individuals gain more insight into the context of their episodes and develop and maintain consistent routines, with particular focus placed on sleep/wake times. An individual’s interpersonal stressors are closely examined and different coping techniques are offered as ways to regulate mood. Therapy in Cincinnati, OH length varies by individual but often consists of 15-20 sixty-minute sessions. More information about IPSRT can be found here.
