San Diego, California therapist: Su Boudreau, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Bipolar

Su Boudreau, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Bipolar is when someone is experiencing extreme polar emotional fluctuations at different times. We all can experience opposite emotional experiences that can be a part of life. It is up to the clinicians to examine whether your symptoms are clinically significant or not. When it is diagnosed, it often necessitates medication treatment along with psychotherapy as it is one of the most difficult conditions to treat without medication in severe to moderate presentations. It is also one of those highly complex diagnoses that a master's level educated licensed marriage and family therapists and social workers for example are not expected to diagnose bipolar disorder. At the Practice, the skilled practitioner/Clinician is available who's been experienced with identifying such complicated symptoms in a much shorter period overall. Researches found that it takes about 10 years for someone to be properly diagnosed with complicated diagnosis, such as bipolar from the time the person first contact a mental health service for help. They are commonly misdiagnosed with depression. That is a 10 year of wasted life, energy, deteriorated relationships, and reduced productivity/income on someone. I highly recommend contacting the office asap if you suspect that you have the related symptoms.

San Diego, California therapist: Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within, psychologist
Bipolar

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Bipolar disorder is fundamentally a brain regulation problem — the nervous system swings between states of dangerous overactivation and crushing underarousal, often without warning. Neurofeedback targets this instability directly, training the brain to recognize and return to a more balanced middle ground. Over time, mood swings become less extreme, more predictable, and easier to manage — giving patients a neurological anchor that medication alone often cannot provide.
