Specialized Psychiatric Care for Bipolar Disorder

Finding stability is possible with the right care, clarity, and support

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a complex mood disorder characterized by cycles of depression and elevated mood (mania or hypomania). It affects energy, decision-making, sleep, self-image, relationships, and the ability to function consistently in daily life.

There are several types of bipolar disorder, including:

• Bipolar I: At least one full manic episode, often alternating with depressive episodes

• Bipolar II: Recurrent depressive episodes with hypomanic episodes (less intense than full mania)

• Cyclothymia: Frequent, less severe mood swings over time

• Bipolar disorder due to medical condition or medication/substance use

At Total Wellness Psychiatry, we provide nuanced diagnoses and evidence-based treatment plans for individuals living with bipolar spectrum disorders. Our approach is designed for those seeking discreet, expert-level care tailored to both their emotional landscape and life responsibilities.

Symptoms We Help You Manage

Bipolar symptoms vary by individual, but we often treat:

• Episodes of low mood, hopelessness, or loss of interest

• Manic or hypomanic episodes, marked by increased energy, impulsive behavior, rapid speech, or decreased need for sleep

• Irritability, agitation, or racing thoughts

• Sleep disruption and circadian rhythm instability

• Emotional dysregulation, mood cycling, or mixed states

• Post-episode fatigue or cognitive “fog”

• Impact on relationships, work, finances, or self-esteem

You don’t have to navigate these highs and lows alone. With proper support, stability is within reach.
