Online Bipolar Treatment That Works
Managing bipolar disorder means having a team in your corner. Affect gives you both therapy and psychiatry in one easy-to-use app, with care designed to adapt with you. Covered by insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Do I have bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder causes shifts between high (manic or hypomanic) and low (depressive) moods. You might feel unusually energized, confident, or impulsive at times — then experience deep exhaustion, sadness, or hopelessness at others. These mood swings can be confusing and overwhelming, but they’re not your fault.
At Affect Therapeutics, we specialize in helping people understand and manage bipolar disorder with evidence-based care. With the right support, including therapy, medication, and personalized care plans — mood stability is possible. And with our 100% virtual program, you can get help from wherever you are.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Affect makes it easy to take the first step toward balance.
Effective treatment starts with compassionate support
Managing bipolar disorder means finding balance — and that starts with the right support. At Affect Therapeutics, treatment is personalized, flexible, and fully virtual, so care fits into your life, not the other way around.
Our connected approach includes:
Psychiatric care to help stabilize mood with the right medication and ongoing support
Mood-tracking tools that give you insight into your patterns and progress
Evidence-based therapy that evolves with you as your needs change over time
Bipolar disorder is complex, but treatment doesn’t have to be. Affect makes it easier to stay on track with care that’s continuous, coordinated, and centered on you.
What medications are used for bipolar disorder?
Mood stabilizers like lithium or lamotrigine, and sometimes atypical antipsychotics like quetiapine, are commonly used. Your care team will partner with you to find the right fit and make adjustments as needed — always with your wellbeing at the center.
Lithium
Reduces the intensity and frequency of both manic and depressive episodes
Lamotrigine
(Lamictal) – Prevents depressive episodes
Atypical Antipsychotics
Manages both manic and depressive symptoms (quetiapine)

“Life feels manageable now!”
I have a bag full of coping skills to deal with life’s stressors.

I’ve learned how to love myself and to forgive myself. I’ve mastered boundaries. I’m no longer uneasy living alone.
Group and counselor support is the best. Life has improved because I learned it’s never too much trouble to take care of myself.
I’ve been able to focus on things that are important in my life, including my children. That it’s the best thing that could ever have happened to them, and to me.
