What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. People with bipolar disorder experience periods of elevated mood (mania or hypomania¹) and periods of depression that go beyond typical ups and downs.

These changes can affect how you think, behave, and function day to day, but with the right treatment plan, many people are able to manage symptoms and maintain stability.

Understanding Mania vs Depression

Bipolar disorder typically involves two types of episodes:

Manic or Hypomanic Episodes

These periods may include increased energy, reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, impulsive decisions, or feeling unusually confident or irritable.

Depressive Episodes

These periods often involve low mood, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty concentrating.

Some individuals experience clear cycles, while others may have more subtle or mixed symptoms.

Types of Bipolar Disorder We Treat

Our clinicians diagnose and treat different forms of bipolar disorder², including:

  • Bipolar I Disorder
  • Bipolar II Disorder
  • Cyclothymia (cyclothymic disorder)
  • Other specified or unspecified bipolar-related conditions

A proper evaluation helps determine the type and guides the most appropriate treatment plan.

When It’s Time to Look for Help

It may be time to seek support if you’re experiencing:

  • Extreme mood swings between highs and lows
  • Periods of high energy followed by crashes
  • Impulsive or risky behavior during elevated moods
  • Persistent depression or low motivation
  • Difficulty maintaining routines, relationships, or responsibilities

Bipolar disorder is treatable, and early support can help reduce the intensity and frequency of episodes.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment Options at MyWellbrook

Treatment is typically most effective when it combines multiple approaches customized to your needs.

Medication Management for Bipolar Disorder

Mood stabilizers and other medications are often used to help regulate mood swings and prevent extreme episodes. Treatment is closely monitored and adjusted over time.

Bipolar Therapy and Ongoing Support

Therapy can help you better understand patterns in your mood, recognize early warning signs, and build strategies to manage symptoms. Psychotherapy is a core part of long-term bipolar care.

Pharmacogenomic Testing (GeneSight)

Genetic testing may help guide medication selection based on how your body responds to certain medications, reducing trial-and-error.

Telehealth and In-Person Care

We offer flexible care options across New Jersey:

  • In-person appointments at our locations
  • Secure telehealth visits from home
