Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by extreme mood swings, from manic highs to depressive lows. It is often caused by genetic factors, brain chemistry imbalances, and environmental triggers like stress or trauma.
Manic episodes: Elevated mood, impulsivity, and increased energy.
Depressive episodes: Sadness, fatigue, and loss of interest.
Medication Management: Mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants are carefully prescribed to manage symptoms.
Psychoeducation: We educate patients and their families about the disorder to promote understanding and adherence to treatment.
Therapy: CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) help patients manage mood swings and develop coping skills.
Lifestyle Management: We emphasize the importance of a consistent routine, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction.
We use a collaborative care approach, involving family members/friends in the treatment process if the client permits to create a strong support system. We also incorporate mindfulness practices to help patients stay grounded during mood episodes.
