It's natural to experience fluctuations in your mood, as everyone feels a variety of emotions from time to time. However, if these mood changes are severe and adversely impact your life, it could be an indication of a more severe problem.
Bipolar disorder is a type of mood disorder that is characterized by drastic mood swings. These mood swings may be unrelated to what's happening in one's life and can significantly impact one's thoughts, behavior, and daily functioning.
Despite the severity of bipolar disorder, many people try to manage their symptoms on their own without seeking professional assistance. If you suspect that you may be experiencing bipolar disorder, it's essential to schedule a consultation with one of our mental health specialists who can provide you with the necessary support to manage and overcome this condition.

Psychotherapy, or "talk" therapy, is an important part of treatment for bipolar disorder. During therapy, you can discuss feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that cause you problems. Talk therapy can help you understand and hopefully master any problems that hurt your ability to function well in your life and career. It also helps you stay on your medication. It can help you maintain a positive self-image.
