Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder involves extreme mood swings, from periods of elevated energy and euphoria to deep depressive episodes. The goal of treatment is to stabilize mood and enhance overall well-being.
Treatment Options
-
- Mood Stabilizers (e.g., Lithium): Medications to regulate mood swings and prevent extreme highs and lows.
- Psychoeducation: Learn about the condition, triggers, and effective coping strategies.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Explore and manage thought patterns associated with mood fluctuations.
