Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Bipolar disorder is a complex mood disorder characterized by episodes of depression, mania, or hypomania that can be disruptive, frightening, and difficult to understand — both for the person experiencing them and for the people who care about them. With the right treatment, however, people with bipolar disorder live full, productive, and meaningful lives.

Bright and Associates provides integrated treatment for bipolar disorder that combines psychiatric care and medication management with individual therapy. We know that medication alone is rarely sufficient — and that the therapeutic relationship, psychoeducation, lifestyle support, and relapse prevention planning are just as important as finding the right medication.

Types of Bipolar Disorder We Treat

  • Bipolar I Disorder (full manic episodes)
  • Bipolar II Disorder (hypomanic and depressive episodes)
  • Cyclothymic Disorder
  • Bipolar Disorder with mixed features or rapid cycling
