Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals manage their mood disorders, like bipolar disorder, by stabilizing daily routines and strengthening interpersonal relationships. It emphasizes maintaining consistent sleep, meal, and activity schedules to regulate biological rhythms that influence mood. Additionally, it addresses relationship challenges to reduce stress, which can trigger mood episodes. By creating predictable routines and improving social connections, IPSRT aims to promote emotional stability and prevent mood swings.
