What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive illness, involves extreme mood swings between highs (mania) and lows (depression). Anchor of Hope Counseling offers personalized support and therapy for those with bipolar disorder, helping manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

  • Increased activity, energy, and agitation during manic episodes..
  • Impulsivity, reckless behavior, and poor decision-making.
  • Grandiosity, inflated self-esteem, and unrealistic beliefs in abilities.
  • Irritability or anger
  • Suicidal thoughts or attempts.
  • Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite or weight.

At Anchor of Hope, diagnosing bipolar disorder involves a comprehensive assessment conducted by mental health experts. This evaluation considers symptoms, medical history, and family background. It often incorporates mood tracking, physical examinations, and laboratory tests to exclude other potential conditions.

Bipolar Disorder: Understanding the Basics

Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic and depressive episodes, with different types having varying degrees of intensity:

Types:

  • Bipolar I Disorder: Marked by severe manic episodes that interfere with daily life. It can also involve major depressive episodes or mixed features of mania and depression.
  • Bipolar II Disorder: Involves major depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes (less severe than mania). These episodes typically don’t disrupt daily functioning.
  • Cyclothymic Disorder: Frequent shifts between hypomania and depression, with milder symptoms.

To create an individualized plan, you need the right specialist who can pinpoint symptoms and understand how they affect your or your loved one’s daily life.
