Characterized by extreme mood swings, Bipolar Disorder is also called manic depression. Those affected with bipolar disorder will have episodes of major depression, called “lows,” followed by episodes of high energy, or “highs.”
Bipolar Disorder symptoms closely mirror depression symptoms when you are “low.” These include difficulty sleeping, persistent feelings of sadness, guilt, or hopelessness, a loss of interest in your daily activities, social isolation, and irritability.

Bipolar Disorder is a treatable condition. You will be prescribed medications, and it’s important to take the medication even if you’re feeling better. In addition to medications, your therapist will work with you to help you identify triggering situations, and signs that you are experiencing an exacerbation of the condition. Your family and friends will be helpful in identifying patterns of behaviors that indicate a shift in your moods.
Every treatment plan at Revive & Thrive is built around you. Depending on your needs, your plan may include therapy, medication management, or both.
