Bipolar Disorder Treatment near Fort Washington, PA

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, but finding the right treatment can make a significant difference in your quality of life. Bipolar disorder, a mood disorder characterized by extreme mood swings, requires a comprehensive treatment approach.

Bipolar I and II

Bipolar disorder I and II involve episodes of mania for Bipolar I, and hypomania for Bipolar II. Manic episodes are hallmarked by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and extreme euphoria. Hypomania is a less extreme version of this, often not escalating into full manic. 

Both Bipolar I and II experience depressive episodes. These episodes are hallmarked by low self-worth, loss of motivation for even simple tasks, and extreme fatigue. 

These episodes can severely impact daily life for people who have either presentation of bipolar.  While there is no cure currently, the right treatment plan can help stabilize mood swings, and even lessen the frequency of extreme mood swings.

Finding effective treatment for you is crucial for managing Bipolar I and II. There are several types of treatment options out there for Bipolar, including but not limited to:

• Medication
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)
• Inpatient Programs 
• Outpatient Programs
