Understanding The Challenge of Living With Bipolar Disorder

When students first come into our program, they often talk about feeling burned out from years of facing Bipolar Disorder. Years of difficulty and overwhelm that they describe as taking over their lives and getting in the way of their hopes and dreams. They describe...

Difficulty in making sense of their diagnosis.
Overwhelm during manic and depressive episodes.
Broken relationships.
Inability to work.
Hard times in finding an appropriate treatment method.
Inability to function.
Horrible side effects from invasive treatment methods.
Discomfort in the use and dependance of invasive tools.
Living in a state of anxiety over future episodes.
Inability to communicate clearly with doctors and therapists.
Confusion and lack of understanding about thriving with the condition.
Financial depletion and stress from the burden of excessive medical related expenses spent on various treatment methods such as medicine, therapy, frequent doctor visits, hospitalizations and treatment facilities.
Frustration with not yet finding the one thing that will make the condition manageable or go away completely.

Who We Are

Since 2003, the program has undergone major updates and changes through the years to make it as effective as possible in bringing out the best results for Bipolar and Depression. In spite of all the implemented changes, the one thing that remains true is the core principle of challenging the pervasive attitudes about bipolar and depression. To date, we have helped more than 150,000 people.

Through the Bipolar & Depression Outcomes Research Institute Online Membership Program, students learn about an integrative approach that focuses on bringing about the best possible outcomes for mental conditions. The approach does not ask students to drop whatever tools they are currently employing to manage their condition. Nor does it suggest the use of any one method over all others. Instead, we guide students to find what works best for them, with the goal of thriving as the primary aim that eventually unfolds into the achievement of full functionality.

A Community Focused on
Changing The Lives of Thousands

The focus of the Bipolar & Depression Outcomes Research Institute Online Membership Program is to guide and help its members achieve the best results possible for Bipolar and Depression. People from all over the world who are facing Bipolar Disorder come into the membership program with confusion, frustration, and exhaustion from having tried endless treatment methods to no avail. They often speak of the relentless efforts on their part to try to keep bipolar and depression from ruining their lives and the constant dissappointment from not yet finding a solution that works for them.

What We Teach

We hold an open invitation to anyone currently facing Bipolar or Depression who seek to work on creating a better life for themselves and those around them. The courses we offer teach students to function fully instead of get overwhelmed and paralyzed every time mania or depression return.

Learning About The Strengths and Advantages of Living with Bipolar

This is a revolutionary method of treating bipolar which shows more long term promise than current techniques.

This is a revolutionary method of treating bipolar which shows more long term promise than current techniques. I have already noticed a difference in myself and the way I'm coping with my mood states. This work is an excellent approach in learning to live with bipolar not just suffer from it.

Bipolar IN Order has given me my life back.

In 30 years, I thought I had tried everything to combat bipolar depression. Bipolar IN Order taught me not to fear my episodes of depression and mania, but to function well within them. Bipolar IN Order has given me my life back. I no longer fear my episodes, and these episodes no longer destroy my life.

This course has changed the way I deal with mood swings

This course has changed the way I deal with mood swings. It has totally changed the way I even think about bipolar. I can now know where I am on the chart and can function longer in that state. Thank you for the opportunity to take this course.

This has been an amazing, eye opening experience.

This class has put together in a very tidy package of concepts and ideas I have picked up bit by bit over the course of my 40 year struggle with severe recurrent depression. I have learned new ways to look at my life, new awareness of my state of mind, and better ways of dealing with stressors. We are encouraged to continue our meds and therapy, and learn new tools to manage our illness as well. My therapist was interested in the offer of free classes for her as well. This has been an amazing, eye opening experience.

I took the Bipolar IN Order course and it was great!

I took the Bipolar IN Order course and it was great! I am more and more becoming aware of the subtleties and not so subtleties of my states and how to behave in IN Ordered ways instead of Disordered ways. This is progressively increasing my confidence in exploring the ever expanding limits of my comfort with myself and finding the gifts in the discomfort as well as the bliss. I'm excited to continue to practice the lessons and use the tools to have a better understanding of my life. I feel better equipped to drive this ship as it is twist and turns through space-time. I highly recommend you do this for yourself!

This class is life changing.

This class is life changing. Although it's directed towards people diagnosed with bipolar, it's really for everyone. We all have states of depression and/or mania at different times of our life and this class is teaching me (I'm in week 7 of the 8 week course) how to recognize and be aware of my feelings and my behaviors so that I can implement tools that will keep me in my comfort zone. It's not a cure. There is no cure. But you can learn to keep your behaviors in order, despite how you feel. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy. It requires you to delve into some uncomfortable areas, but if you stick with it, it all comes together around week 5 or 6. Thank you Tom for sharing your stories, your struggles, your successes, your time, and your ideas. We all deserve to be "in order" and we can all play a part in making our lives richer.
