Bipolar Disorder treatment in Guadalupe

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by marked changes in mood, energy, and activity, alternating between periods of elevated or accelerated mood and episodes of deep sadness or low mood.

How it shows up: During higher-energy phases, euphoria, impulsivity, or a reduced need for sleep may appear; during low phases, loss of interest, fatigue, and hopelessness.

Why seek care: Recognizing these swings helps in understanding what is happening and in receiving the right support.

Who treats it? The psychiatrist is the specialist who evaluates and follows up on this condition, and the psychologist provides complementary therapeutic support. If the mood changes are intense, prolonged, or affect daily life, discussing it with these professionals can be a great help.
