Specializes in Psychiatry

Spending sprees: If you're having recurrent spending sprees, it's possible that your bipolar disorder needs better control. Please tell your psychiatrist that this is happening. Also there is cognitive behavioral psychotherapy that can help people learn about and contain some of these urges that come with hypomania and mania. It differs from compulsive spending.
