What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes big changes in mood, energy, and behavior. These changes can be so strong that they affect daily life. Teens with bipolar disorder may feel very happy and excited during manic episodes, or very sad and tired during depressive episodes. Some teens may also experience hypomanic episodes, which are less intense but still hard to manage.

There are different types of bipolar disorder, including:

Bipolar I: includes full-blown manic episodes and sometimes depressive symptoms
Bipolar II: involves hypomanic symptoms and longer periods of depression
Cyclothymic disorder: a milder form of bipolar disorder with many ups and downs

Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder in Teens

It’s important to know the bipolar disorder symptoms so teens and families can get help early. Common symptoms include:

Extreme mood swings
Increased energy or lack of energy
Rapid speech
Reckless behavior like risky driving or spending
Changes in sleep or appetite
Feelings of sadness, guilt, or worthlessness
Manic symptoms such as feelings of elation or acting without thinking
Depressive symptoms like feeling hopeless or losing interest in activities

These symptoms can affect school, friendships, and daily life. But with the right support, teens can learn how to manage them.

Our Process

How We Treat Bipolar Disorder Online

We use a mix of therapies and support tools to create a person treatment plan that fits each teen. Our goal is to improve each teen’s quality of life with tools that support mood balance, school success, and healthy relationships.

1. Initial Evaluation

We start with a full initial assessment to look at your teen’s medical history, mental health challenges, and family background. This helps us get an accurate diagnosis and understand any risk factors like a family history or stressful life events.

2. Therapy Sessions

Our licensed therapists use:

CBT to change negative thought patterns
Family-Focused Therapy to involve parents in care
Behavioral therapy for better coping skills
Social Rhythm Therapy to build daily routines and manage disruptions in sleep patterns

Therapy is a safe space to talk about bipolar depression, feelings of worthlessness, or impulsive behavior that comes with episodes of mania.

3. Medication Management

Many teens benefit from a combination of medication and therapy. Our psychiatrists manage bipolar medications, including:

Mood stabilizers to help prevent mood swings
Antipsychotic medications for psychotic symptoms
Antidepressant medication for depressive episodes

We focus on safe, clinically-proven online bipolar disorder treatment and always provide ongoing check-ins to make sure medications are working well.

What Causes Bipolar Disorder in Teens?

Doctors don’t know exactly what causes bipolar disorder, but some factors may play a role:

Genetic component (passed down in families)

These causes are often different for each person. That’s why we take a personalized treatment approach that supports the whole teen.
