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. The online membership structure provides an active and supportive learning environment to all participants. 

The main feature of the online membership is the Bipolar IN Order Course. Once finished with the Bipolar IN Order course, members also get unrestricted access to supplemental classes that are available for them to take on demand. Some of the most popular courses included are:

  • I was desperate for help and Bipolar IN Order delivered.

    I was desperate for help and Bipolar IN Order delivered. I learned how to identify my feelings, the changes in my thinking during mood swings and my initial reactions to them. Realizing I had a choice in how to respond instead of just reacting was pivotal. This tool, combined with others, has morphed into a great practice for self examination in the IN Order stages. It is one of the components that taught me discipline and self-control throughout my journey to Bipolar IN Order. What I've learned will serve me well for the rest of my life. Life is finally good.

    Bipolar Advantage transcends the paradigm of bipolar disorder treatment

    Bipolar Advantage transcends the paradigm of bipolar disorder treatment: the focus shifts from eliminating it, to accepting and increasing functionality while going through it. Bipolar In Order has changed my life for the better- after years of failure. I think it is a great resource for anyone interested.

    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.

    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!
