What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts move between emotional highs—known as mania or hypomania—and lows, or depressive episodes. Unlike ordinary ups and downs, these mood changes are more intense, can last for days or weeks at a time, and often interfere with sleep, judgment, behavior, work, and relationships. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 37 million people worldwide live with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, but it is highly manageable, and it is not a reflection of character or willpower. With the right combination of treatment and support, most people are able to stabilize their moods and lead full, productive lives. Clearview Mental Health provides bipolar disorder treatment to patients across Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina, entirely online.
What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder involves periods of both elevated and low mood, and symptoms differ depending on the type of episode. Common signs include:
Periods of unusually elevated or irritable mood (mania or hypomania)
Increased energy and activity, with a decreased need for sleep
Racing thoughts, rapid speech, or feeling easily distracted
Impulsive or risky decisions during high-mood periods
Episodes of deep sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or changes in sleep and appetite
Thoughts of death or suicide
If you recognize these patterns in yourself or someone you love, talking to a professional is an important first step.
What types of bipolar disorder do we treat?
Bipolar disorder takes several forms, and treatment is tailored to your specific experience. Our providers work with:
Bipolar I disorder - manic episodes, often alongside depressive episodes
Bipolar II disorder - a pattern of depression and hypomania, without full manic episodes
Cyclothymic disorder - numerous periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms
Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder - four or more mood episodes within a single year
Bipolar from another cause - mood symptoms linked to another medical condition
How do we treat bipolar disorder at Clearview?
Bipolar disorder is most effectively managed with a combination of medication and therapy, and consistent, ongoing care is what keeps moods stable over time. At Clearview, we build a personalized treatment plan around your specific symptoms and goals.
Therapy - Talk therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helps you recognize early warning signs, manage stress, and build routines that support stability. Delivered virtually, telehealth therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person care.
Psychiatry and medication - Medication is often the foundation of bipolar treatment. Mood stabilizers, and sometimes other medications, help even out the highs and lows and prevent future episodes. Our psychiatric providers can evaluate whether medication is right for you and work with you to find the best fit, adjusting as needed.
A collaborative approach - You and your provider track your mood patterns and progress together, adjusting your plan as your needs change.
