Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Conventional treatment for bipolar (all types) is drug therapy. Many such patients go off of their medication for various reasons. My approach is to identify and resolve the core emotional issues that have led to development of the disorder presenting the possibility of recovery without drugs. Internal family therapy treatment is particularly helpful in this area.

Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
