Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, from highs (mania) to lows (depression). Mania is a state of elevated or irritable mood, increased energy and activity levels, reduced need for sleep, grandiose thinking, and impulsive behavior. Depression, on the other hand, is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, low energy, and difficulty concentrating.
Treatment for bipolar disorder typically includes a combination of medication and psychotherapy, as well as lifestyle changes such as counseling in Georgia, stress management, and sleep hygiene. With proper treatment and support, individuals with bipolar disorder can lead fulfilling and productive lives.
Licensed therapists or psychologists can help individuals manage mood swings caused by bipolar disorder through a variety of evidence-based strategies. These may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may trigger mood swings. Mood charting or keeping a daily record of mood, sleep, and behavior can also help identify patterns and triggers, which opens up room for making changes to sleep patterns, exercise habits, and diet.
