Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels, alternating between episodes of mania (or hypomania) and depression, which can last for weeks or months. These mood swings disrupt daily life, relationships, work, and overall well-being.

Common types of bipolar disorder include:

Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by full manic episodes lasting at least seven days or requiring hospitalization, often followed by depressive episodes.
Bipolar II Disorder: Involves recurring depressive episodes and hypomania, a less severe form of mania.
Cyclothymic Disorder: Features frequent shifts between hypomania and mild depressive symptoms over an extended period.

Symptoms of bipolar disorder vary but commonly include:

Mania or Hypomania: Periods of extreme energy, racing thoughts, impulsivity, decreased need for sleep, and grandiosity.
Depressive Episodes: Persistent sadness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.

Bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition that requires consistent care and management. With the right treatment plan, individuals can regain stability and build a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment

At Agua Dulce Treatment Center, we offer an integrative approach tailored to each individual’s needs. Our comprehensive treatment includes:

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Bipolar disorder often coexists with other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Our dual diagnosis program treats both bipolar disorder and any co-occurring disorders simultaneously, ensuring a more effective recovery.

Medication Management

Pharmacotherapy with mood stabilizers, such as lithium, anticonvulsants, and antipsychotics, is a first-line treatment that should be continued indefinitely to prevent relapse.

Individual and Group Therapy

We provide both individual and group therapy sessions, utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals understand and manage their symptoms.

Holistic Therapies

Recognizing the importance of healing the whole person, we incorporate therapies like yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and wellness activities to promote emotional and physical well-being.
