Our clinic offers expert, compassionate bipolar disorder treatment tailored to your unique needs, so you don’t have to face this condition alone.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a chronic mental health condition characterized by intense shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. People with bipolar disorder experience episodes of mania (or hypomania) and depression, often cycling between emotional extremes.
Types of Bipolar Disorder:
Bipolar I Disorder: Defined by manic episodes that last at least 7 days, often severe enough to require hospitalization, and depressive episodes lasting at least 2 weeks.
Bipolar II Disorder: Involves a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, which are less severe than full manic episodes.
Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia): Chronic mood fluctuations that aren’t as extreme as full manic or depressive episodes, but still disrupt daily life.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder symptoms vary depending on the type and phase of the condition. Understanding the signs can help you know when it’s time to seek help.
Manic or Hypomanic Episode Symptoms:
Elevated or irritable mood
Increased energy and activity levels
Rapid speech or racing thoughts
Decreased need for sleep
Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity
Impulsiveness or risky behavior
Difficulty focusing or sitting still
Depressive Episode Symptoms:
Persistent sadness or emptiness
Fatigue or low energy
Loss of interest in activities
Sleep changes (too much or too little)
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
If you’re experiencing a combination of these symptoms, professional bipolar disorder diagnosis and treatment is essential.
Causes and Risk Factors
While the exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, several factors may contribute:
Genetics: A family history of bipolar disorder increases risk.
Brain chemistry and structure: Neurotransmitter imbalances can affect mood regulation.
Stress or trauma: Major life changes or emotional trauma can trigger episodes.
Substance abuse: Drug or alcohol misuse can worsen symptoms or interfere with treatment.
