Treating Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is characterized by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that can impact relationships, work, and daily functioning. These mood episodes often range from periods of elevated or irritable mood, sometimes accompanied by increased energy, reduced need for sleep, and racing thoughts, to periods of low mood marked by sadness, fatigue, and loss of motivation.

Treatment focuses on recognizing early signs of mood changes, establishing routines that support stability, and developing skills to navigate emotional shifts with flexibility and awareness. Therapy aims to help individuals identify what matters most to them, strengthen patterns that promote well-being, and take practical steps toward living a life guided by their values.
