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
WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
Dr. Murthy is incredibly knowledgeable in treating even the most complicated health issues. I have multiple autoimmune problems and since I’ve started seeing him, he has given me my life back! He is very understanding and compassionate and his superior knowledge in rare diseases make it so easy to talk to him and get the best treatments. I never believed it was possible for me to have a life without pain and I am forever grateful to him for giving me that! His PA Dr. Olivia is the best, she is very easy to talk to and very compassionate and knowledgeable as well. The entire staff at this office are amazing 😊 My 3 year old daughter and I are always happy to go in and see everyone! They make you feel very comfortable, like you’re family 😁 This is by far the best Primary Care office I have been to in over 10 years and I’m so blessed to have found them Thank you 🙏
