Bipolar Disorder Medication Prescribers in Stuart, Florida

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition involving extreme changes in mood. These extremities include both depressive and manic episodes, the latter of which is characterized by increased activity, energy, and elevated or irritable mood. Sometimes the changes in mood from one extreme to the other are very quick. The second variant of bipolar disorder is typified by episodes of hypomanic mood – manic symptoms of less severity – but all bipolar disorders involve periods of major depression. Feelings of great happiness and sadness are a normal part of life, and it’s also normal to experience mood swings sometimes. However, for people with bipolar disorder, mood changes are of a frequency and intensity that interferes with day-to-day life.

Treatment for bipolar disorder tends to involve a combination of therapy and medication. In therapy, clinicians will help you gain insight into the condition, learn to identify and increase awareness of triggers and vulnerabilities, and work on evidence-based strategies to manage and reduce symptoms. Several different kinds of therapy are effective for treating bipolar disorder, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and family therapy, among others.
