Join Bipolar Advantage

Bipolar Advantage teaches self-management for bipolar disorder. You learn to spot your states sooner, see how your surroundings affect you, and own your behaviors, including which tools you reach for and when. You act before things build. The result: fewer crises, better days, and self-management that is truly yours.

What you get

All of it, from the first day.

Lessons in order

The lessons run in order, from 1.0 to 8.8, with video and reading in each. Built into them are short interactive exercises you complete before moving on. Those exercises build your personal profile: rating environments, naming behaviors, setting your comfort zones, choosing tools and setting up your timeline.

A daily check-in

About 30 seconds a day to record where you are right now: your state, what is happening around you and how you are handling it. Over time those entries become a personal record that powers the AI coaching, the reports and the patterns the program finds.

Step-by-step timelines

If your check-ins show you moving outside your comfort zone, the program guides you through a response in steps: first noticing, then stronger tools only when you need them.

AI coaching

An AI coach that helps you reflect, strengthens your self-awareness and helps you spot your patterns. It coaches; it does not give clinical advice.

Your own toolbox

The program gives you a library of tools sorted by strength, from simple everyday steps to stronger responses for more intense states. You choose the ones that work for you, see which ones keep you IN Order, and build your own toolbox as you go. Each day's check-in brings tool suggestions that fit your current state and comfort zone.

Reports you share

Reports show how you are doing over time: mood trends, the tools that are working, behavior patterns and insights from the AI. You see your own data. Organizations that sponsor the program see combined results for their group, such as engagement, cost savings and tool effectiveness, but never anyone's individual check-ins or conversations.

The approach

Shaped around you.

You build a personal picture of your environments, behaviors, comfort zones and tools, and that picture becomes a self-management system made for you. It works alongside your doctor and therapist, never in place of medication or therapy.

You set your own thresholds for how far into each state you can go and still function. Every check-in shows whether you are inside your comfort zone, slightly outside it, or too far outside.

Features open up as you move through the lessons. Daily check-ins come first, then tools, reports and the timeline. That keeps the start manageable and means you understand each feature by the time you reach it.

Sharing and privacy

You decide who sees it.

You can share your check-ins, tool use, AI coaching conversations and reports with your therapist, doctor, family or researchers, and you set exactly what each person can see. Your therapist might see the clinical report and tools data while your spouse sees only the weekly summary. You stay in control and can take access away at any time. Every view is logged for HIPAA compliance.

Bipolar Advantage has been developed continuously since 2003. It began as in-person workshops and has become a fully digital, standardized program. It has been studied at Tufts University, reviewed by PCORI, and endorsed by researchers at Yale, UC Berkeley, Maastricht University and the University of Barcelona.
