How We Treat Bipolar Disorder

Successful bipolar treatment requires an accurate diagnosis and a plan tailored to your specific pattern of symptoms. At Proverbs, we build a personalized approach focused on long-term stability, safety, and empowerment.

1. Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis

Through a thorough virtual assessment, your provider will evaluate your symptom history, mood patterns, life stressors, and overall mental health. Bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed as depression or anxiety—so this first step is critical.

2. Medication Management

Mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, and sometimes antidepressants (used carefully) are the foundation of most bipolar treatment plans. We’ll explain your options and closely monitor your progress and side effects.

3. Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Because bipolar disorder is cyclical, consistent follow-ups help us catch mood shifts early and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen. You’ll also have access to secure messaging between visits.

Referrals for Therapy: Many people benefit from additional therapy to manage stress, relationships, or co-occurring issues like trauma or anxiety.

What Causes Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is believed to be caused by a mix of genetic, biological, and environmental factors, such as:

Family history: Having a close relative with bipolar disorder increases your risk.
Brain chemistry and structure: Neuroimaging shows differences in the brains of people with bipolar disorder.
Life stressors: Traumatic events, loss, or major life changes can trigger episodes.
Substance use: Alcohol or drug use can worsen symptoms or trigger mood episodes.

The average age of onset is around 25, though symptoms may begin in adolescence. Many people go undiagnosed for years, especially if their highs feel “productive” or their lows are misattributed to stress.

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder symptoms vary depending on whether a person is in a manic/hypomanic or depressive episode. Most people with bipolar disorder experience both types.

Mania/Hypomania Symptoms:

Increased energy or activity
Feeling euphoric, overly confident, or invincible
Racing thoughts or rapid speech
Poor judgment or impulsive behavior (spending sprees, risky decisions)
Decreased need for sleep
Irritability or agitation
Hyper-focus on goals with unrealistic expectations

Hypomania is a less intense form of mania but can still affect relationships and work performance.

Depression Symptoms:

Persistent sadness or emptiness
Loss of interest in activities
Fatigue or feeling “slowed down”
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or despair
Sleeping too much or too little
Changes in appetite or weight
Thoughts of death or suicide

Some people experience mixed episodes, where symptoms of mania and depression happen at the same time. This can be especially distressing and dangerous—prompting the need for timely care.

Types of Bipolar Disorder

There are several forms of bipolar disorder:

Bipolar I Disorder: Involves full manic episodes that may last for a week or require hospitalization, often followed by depressive episodes.
Bipolar II Disorder: Involves at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode (a milder form of mania), but no full manic episodes.
Cyclothymic Disorder: A chronic pattern of mood swings that are less severe than full mania or depression but last for at least two years.

Regardless of the type, bipolar disorder can be disruptive—but with treatment, people can live full, stable lives.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder marked by extreme emotional shifts from high-energy, euphoric, or irritable states (mania or hypomania) to deep sadness, hopelessness, or fatigue (depression). These episodes can severely impact energy levels, behavior, relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.

It’s not just “moodiness.” It’s a complex medical condition that requires professional evaluation and long-term management.
