Common symptoms
Manic or hypomanic episodes can bring elevated mood, high energy, reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, and impulsive decisions. Depressive episodes bring low mood, fatigue, and loss of interest. Mood episodes can last days to months and often disrupt work, relationships, and daily functioning.
How we help
Treatment centers on mood stabilizers or other medications chosen for your specific pattern, along with close monitoring during changes in dose. We track your mood over time, watch for early warning signs, and coordinate with therapists when helpful.
Common questions

How is bipolar disorder diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on a detailed history of your mood episodes over time, since bipolar disorder can look like depression if a manic or hypomanic episode hasn't been recognized yet.
Will I need medication long-term?
Most people with bipolar disorder benefit from ongoing medication to prevent future episodes, even during periods of stability. We'll discuss what makes sense for you.
What’s the difference between bipolar disorder and regular mood swings?
Bipolar episodes last days to weeks, involve a clear change in energy and behavior, and affect daily functioning, unlike everyday mood shifts that pass quickly.
Can therapy help alongside medication?
Yes. Therapy can help with recognizing early warning signs, managing stress, and maintaining routines that support mood stability.
