Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings. These range from manic highs of intense energy and euphoria to depressive lows of sadness and hopelessness.
You may experience distinct periods of extreme mood changes. These episodes can be manic (overly energetic or irritable) or depressive (feeling very sad or hopeless).
Early diagnosis is crucial. Seek professional help if you notice these recurring, severe mood shifts interfering with daily life.
You never walk alone. From 1:1 counseling to group talk therapy, we cultivate an environment of compassion and support
We take a holistic view of patients during the recovery process, providing individualized care with an emphasis on comfort and respect.
Recovery touches every part of your life, and we give clients the tools and mindset they need to thrive in work, life, and relationships.
You may have an increased risk of developing bipolar disorder if the condition runs in your family. Research suggests that bipolar disorder has a hereditary component, though the specific genes involved are still being studied.
Imaging studies show that the brains of individuals with bipolar disorder may differ from those without the disorder. These differences seem to involve the areas that control emotions, impulses, and judgment.
Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine help regulate mood. Imbalances in these brain chemicals may contribute to the extreme mood shifts seen in bipolar disorder.
Stressful life events, trauma, substance abuse, and disrupted sleep patterns are thought to interact with genetic and neurological factors, potentially triggering bipolar episodes in some individuals.
By understanding the potential causes, Bold Steps Behavioral Health‘s comprehensive treatment programs can address the unique needs of each client through personalized therapy and support.
Bipolar disorder can manifest in various ways. Manic episodes may involve euphoric moods, racing thoughts, and impulsive behaviors. Depressive episodes bring intense sadness, fatigue, and hopelessness. If you experience dramatic shifts between these extremes, consult a mental health professional.
Your doctor or therapist will evaluate your symptoms through interviews and tests. Be open about your experiences, as an accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Bold Steps’ compassionate clinicians specialize in bipolar disorder assessments.
