Bipolar
Bipolar disorder is a serious and often misunderstood mental health condition marked by intense and unpredictable mood swings. These shifts range from emotional highs—known as manic or hypomanic episodes—to debilitating lows of depression. During a manic episode, a person may feel euphoric, full of energy, and invincible, needing little to no sleep and engaging in impulsive or risky behaviors. Hypomania presents similarly, though with less severity and typically without the extreme disruption to daily functioning. On the other hand, depressive episodes bring overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, and a disconnection from life, making it difficult to perform even the most basic daily tasks.
​For many individuals, bipolar disorder doesn’t just affect mood—it can disrupt relationships, careers, sleep patterns, and physical health. If left untreated, the condition can escalate, leading to severe consequences like job loss, financial instability, relationship breakdowns, substance use, and even suicidal thoughts or actions. That’s why early diagnosis and consistent treatment are essential. At Inner You Clinical Services®, we understand how exhausting it can feel to live at the mercy of these unpredictable emotional waves. You may have experienced the high of a productive burst of energy followed by the crash of a depressive spiral—leaving you confused, ashamed, or alone.
​
Bipolar disorder affects approximately 2.8% of adults in the United States and often develops in late adolescence or early adulthood. There are several forms of the disorder, including Bipolar I, which involves full manic episodes; Bipolar II, which includes hypomanic and depressive episodes; and Cyclothymic Disorder, characterized by frequent mood fluctuations that don’t meet the full criteria for mania or depression. The symptoms and severity can vary widely from person to person, which is why personalized care is critical.
​
During manic or hypomanic episodes, individuals might notice a surge in energy, racing thoughts, rapid speech, inflated self-esteem, impulsivity, and a reduced need for sleep. These periods can feel empowering in the moment, but they often lead to damaging choices and emotional crashes. In contrast, depressive episodes can feel like being trapped under a heavy fog—persistently low mood, loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities, changes in appetite or weight, chronic fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and even thoughts of death or suicide. These symptoms can make daily functioning feel impossible, and without the right support, it’s easy to feel stuck in a painful cycle.
​
At Inner You Clinical Services®, we offer comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals living with bipolar disorder. Our therapy options include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you challenge and shift harmful thinking patterns, and Interpersonal Therapy, which focuses on stabilizing daily routines and improving social relationships that can be disrupted by mood instability. We also offer family therapy, creating a space for loved ones to better understand the disorder and learn how to support the individual’s treatment journey. Psychoeducation is a vital component of our approach, empowering both individuals and families with the knowledge and tools to navigate bipolar disorder more effectively. When appropriate, we refer clients for medication management, working closely with psychiatrists who can prescribe mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, or antidepressants based on each person's unique symptoms.
