Bipolar Disorder Treatment in Tinley Park
Understanding Bipolar Symptoms
Symptoms can vary widely; some individuals face frequent cycles, while others may go years between episodes.
- Bipolar Depression: These "low" periods often involve social withdrawal, chronic fatigue, insomnia, and persistent thoughts of death or suicide. It is common for these symptoms to be mistaken for standard depression without a thorough psychiatric review.
- Manic Episodes: A "high" period may involve an abnormally elevated mood, racing thoughts, extreme energy, and impulsivity leading to poor decision-making.
- Neutral Phases: Many patients experience periods of stability where symptoms are minimal or absent, which is the primary goal of long-term treatment.
