Bipolar Disorder Treatment and Support
Living with bipolar disorder can feel overwhelming. The shifts between depressive lows and manic highs affect your work, relationships, and daily life. While bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, the right treatment plan can help you manage symptoms and regain stability.
Converse Psychiatry provides compassionate telehealth care for people with bipolar disorder. Our licensed psychiatric providers work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that combines medication management and therapy to help you feel more balanced and in control.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These mood episodes range from periods of extremely elevated or irritable moods, called manic episodes, to periods of deep sadness or hopelessness, called depressive episodes.
There are several types of bipolar disorder, including Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Cyclothymic Disorder. Each type involves different patterns of mood episodes. A proper diagnosis is the first step toward finding the treatment approach that works best for you.
Our Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment
At Converse Psychiatry, we take a whole-person approach to treating bipolar disorder. We understand that no two people experience this condition the same way, and we take time to listen to your story before developing a care plan.
Our treatment approach may include:
Medication management to help stabilize mood swings and reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes. Your provider will explain all medication options, including mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and antidepressants when appropriate.
Individual therapy to help you understand your condition, identify triggers, recognize early warning signs of episodes, and develop coping strategies for managing symptoms.
Ongoing monitoring and support through regular follow-up appointments to track your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Bipolar Disorder Treatment FAQs
What are the signs of bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder involves distinct mood episodes. Manic episodes may include increased energy, reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, and feeling unusually confident or irritable. Depressive episodes may involve persistent sadness, low energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep and appetite, and feelings of hopelessness. If you notice extreme mood swings that affect your daily functioning, a psychiatric evaluation can help determine if bipolar disorder is the cause.
Will I need medication for bipolar disorder?
Medication is often an important part of bipolar disorder treatment because it helps stabilize mood and prevent episodes. However, your provider will discuss all treatment options with you. The goal is to find the right combination of medication and therapy that works for your specific needs and preferences.
Can bipolar disorder be treated through telehealth?
Yes. Research supports the effectiveness of telehealth for bipolar disorder treatment. Video appointments allow your provider to assess your symptoms, adjust medications, and provide therapy just as they would in person. Many patients find telehealth more convenient and easier to maintain consistently.
Do you accept insurance for bipolar disorder treatment?
Yes. Converse Psychiatry is in-network with over 60 insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Anthem, and many others. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.
