What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder known for causing dramatic mood swings that can occur suddenly and may last for as long as months. Individuals living with bipolar disorder often experience intense emotions that can disrupt their day-to-day routine and relationships. Bipolar disorder often manifests in childhood, but it can develop later in life. If you have bipolar disorder or symptoms you think might be related to this condition, including intense episodes of euphoria and depression, we urge you to contact WellHealth Medical Associates to receive a professional diagnosis and treatment. We offer both telepsychiatry and in-person consultations at our offices in Rochester Hills and Belleville, MI. Our staff is here to help you find a more balanced, stable life so schedule your appointment to get started.
How Does Treatment for Bipolar Disorder Work?
To diagnose bipolar disorder, we start with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history, including any physical or mental health conditions that might run in your family. Bipolar disorder comes in several categories, including bipolar I disorder (which involves longer-lasting or more intensive euphoric episodes), bipolar II disorder (which involves major depressive episodes), and cyclothymic disorder (a mixture of less severe symptoms). If we determine that you are living with bipolar disorder, we'll develop a custom treatment plan to manage your symptoms, which may include behavioral counseling and medication.
What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?
The symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary in intensity based on which type you have, but there are a few common signs you might notice, including:
- Feelings of depression that last for days, weeks, or months before suddenly dissipating
- Manic or euphoric feelings that come and go without explanation
- Rapid shifts between manic and depressive episodes
- Impulsive or potentially harmful behavior
