Bipolar disorder can involve any combination of these highs and lows. There are also hypomanias, which can seem like a high-functioning, positive experience, or dysthymia, which is like hypo-depression.

Mixed states are also possible, where one feels sad, depressed, and energized at the same time.

Bipolar I is the classic type- recurrent manic and depressed episodes. Bipolar II involves episodes of depression mixed with hypomanic episodes. If 4 or more episodes occur within a year, it is considered rapid-cycling.

Medication is the most common treatment for bipolar disorder. Some therapies, such as CBT can be useful as well. In cases where neither work, ect is sometimes used. Herbal/nutritional supplements such as St. John's wort or Omega-3 fatty acids have shown to have some effect, but are not thoroughly studied. If you plan on using any supplements, make sure you discuss them with your doctor- some can have effects on medication you are taking.

It is important to keep in close contact with your psychiatrist and monitor you daily mood, sleep patterns, energy, etc. so your doctor can adjust your medication as necessary. Though there is no known cure for bipolar disorder, it can be treated.

Bipolar disorder requires long-term treatment. Since bipolar disorder is a chronic, relapsing illness, it’s important to continue treatment even when you’re feeling better. Most people with bipolar disorder need medication to prevent new episodes and stay symptom-free.
*There is more to treatment than medication. Medication alone is usually not enough to fully control the symptoms of bipolar disorder. The most effective treatment strategy for bipolar disorder involves a combination of medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and social support.
*It’s best to work with an experienced psychiatrist. Bipolar disorder is a complex condition. Diagnosis can be tricky and treatment is often difficult. For safety reasons, medication should be closely monitored. A psychiatrist who is skilled in bipolar disorder treatment can help you navigate these twists and turns.
