Compassionate care for managing bipolar disorder effectively

Our approach to bipolar disorder care focuses on mood stabilization, primarily through medication management in Spokane, Washington. We work closely with psychotherapists to complement this with psychotherapy. Our team aids in identifying triggers and developing coping strategies for both manic and depressive episodes. Our role in supportive therapy sessions is to coordinate medication that aligns with skills development in areas such as relationship management and stress reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if someone has bipolar disorder?
Common signs include extreme mood swings, periods of high activity with little sleep, and times of sadness or loss of interest. We encourage reaching out for a professional evaluation if these patterns are noticed.
What’s the difference between bipolar I and bipolar II?
Bipolar I usually involves more severe manic episodes, while bipolar II has less intense mania but more frequent depression. We help explain these differences and offer guidance on treatment approaches.
Can bipolar disorder get better without medication?
Some people manage symptoms through therapy and healthy routines, but medication often helps prevent severe mood swings. We guide clients through safe, evidence-based options.
What can trigger bipolar episodes?
Lack of sleep, stress, substance use, and big life changes can trigger episodes. We focus on teaching strategies to reduce these triggers and maintain balance.
Is bipolar disorder the same as mood swings?
No, typical mood swings are less intense and shorter in duration. Bipolar episodes are more extreme and affect daily functioning. We provide assessments to help tell the difference.
