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

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

It surprisingly goes hand-in-hand with the work I've been doing in therapy.

I'm part of the current class, and have really enjoyed it. It surprisingly goes hand-in-hand with the work I've been doing in therapy. Being more in control of the roller coaster ride of bipolar is a valuable, life-necessary skill.

This is truly the best thing I have done for myself!

This is truly the best thing I have done for myself! After years of therapy, that only helped a little, I now have tools and a whole new way to look at my life. I highly recommend this program!

Tom Wootton knows what it’s like to experience soaring highs and painful lows of bipolar disorder.

Tom Wootton knows what it’s like to experience soaring highs and painful lows of bipolar disorder. He has attained a level of mastery regarding his states and there’s hope for all of us in that. This program teaches how to recognize symptoms, assess where you are, differentiate between emotions, develop self-management tools, learn when to use them, choose self-growth rather than self-destructive behaviors, see the value of our states, use introspection, and more. He has found that we can dramatically escalate our abilities to function well within six months to a couple of years or so.

My daughter took the course...

Because my daughter took the course and shared with me I know more about how to talk the language of "in order" instead of disorder.

This course changed my life.

This course changed my life. We are responsible for our actions no matter how our mental and physical disorders challenge us. Tom offers a way to learn the subtle changes in our feelings so that we can be responsible and feel good about it. My therapist and psychiatrist wholeheartedly endorsed my participation. I would invite people to join Tom on this journey. It is well worth your time.
