Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Compassionate, individualized care for bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, involves fluctuations between very high manic episodes and very low depressive states. These shifts can significantly impact a person’s ability to function in daily life.
Four main types exist: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymic, and “Other.” Distinguishing between these types is crucial for administering the right treatment for each individual.

Depressive Episodes
- Insomnia or hypersomnia
- Inexplicable emotional outbursts
- Severe fatigue or exhaustion
- Apathy or loss of interest in previously enjoyed pursuits
