At Empower Residential Wellness, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment for individuals battling with bipolar disorder and co-occurring conditions. Understanding the journey to recovery begins with recognizing the symptoms, causes, and the importance of a correct diagnosis.
Symptoms
Bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, and energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very sad, “down,” or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes).
Causes
While the exact cause of bipolar disorder is not known, a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain structure and chemistry may contribute to the disorder.
Diagnosis
Diagnosing bipolar disorder involves a thorough psychiatric assessment, medical history evaluation, and, sometimes, physical exams to rule out other causes.
Treatment for bipolar disorder aims to reduce the severity of episodes and help individuals manage their symptoms. Here at Empower Residential Wellness, we offer a variety of treatment options tailored to each individual’s needs.
Medication
Medication management is a cornerstone of treatment, with mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants being among the options used to control symptoms.
Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are two evidence-based therapeutic methods we employ to help individuals understand and cope with their symptoms.
Hospitalization
In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to ensure the safety of the individual, providing intensive support and stabilization.
