Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about bipolar disorder and our treatment approaches

The exact cause of bipolar disorder isn't fully understood, but research suggests a combination of factors including biological differences in the brain, genetics, and environmental triggers. People with bipolar disorder appear to have physical changes in their brains, and imbalances in neurotransmitters play a significant role.

Diagnosis involves a thorough psychiatric evaluation that includes a detailed history of symptoms, family history, and sometimes input from family members. There are no blood tests or brain scans that can diagnose bipolar disorder, but these may be used to rule out other conditions. Our specialists use established diagnostic criteria to make an accurate diagnosis.

While everyone experiences ups and downs, bipolar disorder involves extreme mood changes that are more severe than normal mood swings. These episodes last for days or weeks (not hours), significantly impair daily functioning, and may include psychotic symptoms during severe episodes. The mood changes in bipolar disorder are not related to external events in the way typical mood swings often are.

While there's no cure for bipolar disorder, it can be effectively managed with proper treatment. Many people with bipolar disorder lead full, productive lives when they receive appropriate care. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing relapses through a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.

Bipolar disorder typically requires long-term, ongoing treatment rather than a short-term course. Even during periods when you feel well, continuing with your treatment plan is essential to prevent new episodes. The duration and intensity of treatment may vary over time based on your symptoms and response to treatment.
