Bipolar Disorder

Joy Mental Health and Psychiatry

Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, board-certified APRN, PMHNP-BC

Bipolar disorder is typically treated with a combination of medication management and psychiatric evaluation. Here's a breakdown: Medication Management: Mood stabilizers: These are the mainstay of treatment, aiming to regulate extreme mood swings. Examples include lithium, lamotrigine, and valproic acid. Antipsychotics: These might be used during manic episodes to control symptoms like racing thoughts and delusions, or for long-term mood stabilization. Antidepressants: Used cautiously, antidepressants can help with bipolar depression, but must be combined with mood stabilizers to avoid triggering mania. Psychiatric Evaluation: Diagnosis: A psychiatrist will assess your symptoms, medical history, and family history to diagnose bipolar disorder and determine the specific type (bipolar I, II, etc.). Treatment Plan: They will develop a personalized treatment plan, including medication selection, dosage adjustments, and monitoring side effects. Psychotherapy: Therapy can help you understand your condition, develop coping mechanisms, and manage stress, which can trigger episodes. Finding the right medication combination often takes time, so close collaboration with your psychiatrist is crucial.
