Abstract
The term “bipolar disorder” refers to a set of diagnoses, including bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic disorder, other specified bipolar and related disorder, and unspecified bipolar and related disorder. This chapter describes the importance of treatment conceptualization which must address the needs of patients and their families including pharmacological and psychosocial treatment approaches. Psychoeducation, family-focused therapy, and Cognitive behavioral therapy are among the psychosocial treatments for bipolar spectrum disorders with empirical support. Although pharmacological interventions remain the front line treatment for mania, psychotherapy may be as or more effective at addressing depression, and is key for implementing the lifestyle changes that reduce risk of relapse, prolong periods of wellness, and improve overall quality of life and functioning. Comprehensive treatment should focus on family communication, maintaining routine, emotion regulation, coping skills, problem solving, and lifestyle changes.
