Learn About Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that may cause manic, hypomanic, and depressive episodes. Each of these episodes can cause changes in mood and behavior. Some individuals with bipolar disorder use substances such as drugs and alcohol in a misguided attempt to manage symptoms of the condition. As a result, this leads some individuals with bipolar disorder to develop addictions. At Sierra by the Sea, we provide treatment for individuals who have a primary diagnosis of addiction but are also living with bipolar disorder. This is called co-occurring bipolar disorder.

Manic episodes may cause an individual to experience an elevated mood, high energy levels, and impulsive behaviors. These symptoms are the same for hypomanic episodes, but less severe than those of manic episodes.

Depressive episodes are periods where people may experience thoughts of suicide, self-harm behaviors, and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. These symptoms are not severe enough to warrant a diagnosis of depression, yet these symptoms still interfere with function.

At Sierra by the Sea, we focus our treatment on addictions and treat mental health conditions such as co-occurring bipolar disorder. There is no way to cure co-occurring bipolar disorder. However, receiving treatment for this condition has a positive impact on an individual’s ability to manage their symptoms and take control of their life.
