Hypnosis has a powerful impact on moods and behaviors and this is especially true in the treatment of those with bipolar disorder or manic depression. Hypnosis has the ability to relax both mind and body and create a stabilize way of thinking and feeling. The extremes “ups” during the manic part of bipolar disorder and the extreme “downs” or episodes of depression are less pronounced when hypnosis is used to balance out emotions.
The mental illness classified as bipolar disorder or manic depression has a hold on about 2.3 million people or approximately one percent of the population according to the National Institute of Mental Health. This does not account for a large number of people who either go undiagnosed or have other forms of depression without the manic episodes of elation. Hypnosis is able however to help in managing mental illness of both classifications.
Hypnosis is most effective when those undergoing hypnotic treatment are able to trust their hypnotherapist and become relaxed. Self hypnosis is extremely effective because you are able to do it in the privacy of your own home in a safe and comfortable environment. After several weeks of self hypnosis, symptoms of manic depression should be lessoned dramatically and without a prescription.
Clinical Hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones created a self hypnosis program for use at home. It is called “Control Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression).” His program helps suffers by restructuring the thought processes that control the emotions and behaviors associated with them. The triggers that lead to a manic or depressive state of mind no longer will cause that reaction, but through hypnosis will create a more balanced response.
