At Adolescent Mental Health, we understand the unique needs of teenagers facing Bipolar Disorder and our virtual treatment center is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to support their well-being.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment

What is Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme and fluctuating mood swings. These mood swings typically manifest as episodes of mania, characterized by elevated energy levels, heightened irritability, and impulsive behavior, followed by depressive episodes marked by profound sadness, lethargy, and feelings of hopelessness. Bipolar Disorder can disrupt a teenager’s daily life, relationships, and academic performance.

Symptoms of

Bipolar Disorder

Manic Episodes

Teens may experience periods of intense energy, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, increased talkativeness, and engaging in risky behaviors such as reckless driving or impulsive spending.

Depressive Episodes

This phase is marked by persistent feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities. Changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and thoughts of death or suicide may also be present.

Mixed Episodes

Some individuals with Bipolar Disorder may experience symptoms of both mania and depression simultaneously, leading to heightened emotional turmoil and instability.

Cyclothymic Symptoms

For some teens, the mood swings may be less severe but persist for extended periods, manifesting as cyclothymic symptoms.

Our Approach to Treatment

Our treatment approach for Bipolar Disorder is tailored to address the unique needs of teenagers, recognizing the dynamic nature of adolescence and the impact of Bipolar symptoms on various aspects of their lives.

Medication Management

Our board-certified psychiatrists work closely with each teenager to develop an individualized medication plan to stabilize mood fluctuations. Medication, when combined with therapy, can be an effective tool in managing Bipolar Disorder.

Psychoeducation and Coping Skills

We believe in empowering teenagers with knowledge about their condition. Psychoeducation helps them understand the nature of Bipolar Disorder and equips them with coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate daily challenges.

Individual and Group Therapy

Our licensed therapists specialize in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Individual therapy provides a space for teenagers to explore their thoughts and emotions, while group therapy fosters peer support and a sense of community.

Family Involvement

We recognize the crucial role families play in a teenager’s mental health journey. Family therapy sessions provide a platform for open communication, education, and collaboration to create a supportive home environment.

Routine and Structure

Establishing a consistent daily routine and structure is essential for managing Bipolar symptoms. Our treatment plans incorporate strategies to help teenagers maintain a stable daily schedule, promoting better mood regulation.
