Bipolar Disorder

Specialized care for bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that causes remarkable shifts in a person’s mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. These shifts can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks.

There are three types of bipolar disorder. All three types involve clear changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent, or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as hypomanic episodes.

Managing bipolar disorder requires a nuanced and compassionate approach, and that’s exactly what we offer at WellCrest therapy. Our telepsychiatry services are designed to support patients with bipolar disorder through every stage of their journey. Led by Oladunni Faminu DNP, PMHNP, our practice provides a combination of psychotherapy and medication management to stabilize mood swings and improve overall functioning. We work closely with our patients to develop patient-centered treatment plans that promote long-term stability and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with manic episodes or depressive phase, WellCrest therapy is here to offer the support you need.
