Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings. These mood episodes range from emotional highs, called mania or hypomania, to debilitating lows, commonly referred to as depression. The intensity and duration of these episodes vary by individual and type of bipolar disorder.
According to national psychiatric guidelines, bipolar disorder is a lifelong mood condition that typically requires a combination of medication management and structured psychotherapy for long-term symptom control.
Bipolar disorder impacts a person’s emotions, energy levels, behavior, and ability to function in everyday life. While the highs of mania may create feelings of euphoria and invincibility, they can also lead to impulsive and reckless behaviors. Similarly, the lows of depression can leave individuals feeling hopeless, lethargic, and detached from the activities and relationships that matter most.
Like other mental health conditions, bipolar disorder is treatable, and recovery is attainable with the right mix of therapeutic and psychiatric interventions.
There are several types of bipolar disorder, including:
Characterized by manic episodes that last at least seven days or require hospitalization. Depressive episodes are also common but may not be necessary for diagnosis.
Involves hypomania (a less severe form of mania) alternating with major depressive episodes.
Involves numerous periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms over the course of two years, without meeting full criteria for mania or major depression.
While bipolar disorder presents differently in each individual, common symptoms include:
Treating bipolar disorder requires an individualized and multimodal approach, integrating behavioral therapies, psychiatric care, education, and ongoing support. At Wellness Hills Treatment Center, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to your individual needs.
For individuals experiencing severe manic or depressive episodes, inpatient treatment provides an intensive and structured environment for stabilization and recovery. During inpatient care, clients receive 24/7 supervision and support, enabling them to focus entirely on their healing in a safe, distraction-free environment.
Wellness Hills Treatment Center’s inpatient program includes:
Inpatient care is particularly effective for individuals at risk of self-harm or those whose symptoms are significantly impairing their ability to function.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed for individuals who require structured treatment during the day but can return home or to a supportive living environment in the evenings. PHP offers:
PHP allows clients to receive intensive care while gradually reintegrating into their routines.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a flexible yet structured option for individuals managing bipolar disorder. This program is ideal for individuals transitioning from inpatient or PHP care, or those with moderate symptoms seeking help while maintaining personal responsibilities, such as work or school.
IOP typically involves therapy sessions several times a week, as well as ongoing support for medication management and symptom tracking.
For individuals with mild symptoms or those seeking long-term maintenance after intensive treatment, outpatient therapy is a valuable option. Clients meet with therapists once or twice a week to discuss challenges, monitor progress, and refine coping strategies.
Medication is often an essential component of bipolar disorder treatment. At Wellness Hills, our licensed psychiatrists develop personalized medication plans to manage symptoms. Medication options may include:
Because bipolar medications require close supervision, we monitor blood levels with an outside provider when clinically indicated, track metabolic health when antipsychotics are prescribed, and carefully evaluates antidepressant medication use to reduce the risk of mood destabilization.
Our psychiatric team provides ongoing monitoring to ensure that medications remain safe and effective throughout the treatment process.
Therapy is another cornerstone of bipolar disorder treatment. At Wellness Hills, clients engage in evidence-based therapies such as:
Therapy sessions teach clients skills to recognize mood episode triggers, navigate challenges, and maintain stability over time.

Weekly one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist help you explore the root causes of your mental health challenges, set recovery goals, and develop personalized strategies for wellness.

Group sessions offer a supportive environment for sharing experiences, learning from others, and developing a sense of community with peers who face similar struggles. Participants often find comfort in knowing they are not alone, and these sessions encourage both accountability and encouragement.
Education is a cornerstone of recovery. Our IOP includes sessions that teach patients about their mental health conditions, coping mechanisms, and healthy lifestyle habits to create long-term stability. By empowering patients with knowledge, we encourage self-advocacy and informed decision-making in their recovery.
Workshops and exercises in emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and problem-solving equip individuals with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively in everyday life. These skills can reduce stress, improve relationships, and promote long-term independence.
Our team of psychiatrists and medication management specialists works closely with you to ensure that prescribed medications are effective and tailored to your needs.
