    What is Bipolar Disorder?

    Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood episodes are more intense than typical mood fluctuations and can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and work.

    There are several types of bipolar disorder, including Bipolar I (characterized by severe manic episodes), Bipolar II (characterized by hypomanic and depressive episodes), and Cyclothymic Disorder. Each type requires specialized treatment, and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management.

    At Empathy Health Clinic, our board-certified psychiatrists have extensive experience diagnosing and treating bipolar spectrum disorders. We work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that promotes long-term stability.

    Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

    Bipolar disorder symptoms vary between manic and depressive episodes. Recognition of these patterns is key to getting appropriate help.

    Manic episodes: elevated mood, increased energy, reduced need for sleep
    Depressive episodes: persistent sadness, hopelessness, low energy
    Rapid speech and racing thoughts during manic episodes
    Impulsive behaviors: overspending, risky decisions, increased activity
    Irritability and agitation
    Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
    Changes in sleep patterns—sleeping too much or too little
    Withdrawal from friends, family, and regular activities
