Behavioural Activation Therapy for Bipolar Disorder

Behavioural Activation (BA) is a therapy previously shown to be effective in depressive disorders. This form of therapy involves modification of activities in order to change perceptions of specific situations, thereby improving mood. The BA treatment program will consist of 18 two-hour visits over 14 weeks (twice weekly group visits for the first 8 weeks, followed by two individual visits over 6 weeks).
