Understanding Bipolar Disorder

What is Bipolar Disorder?

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.

Types of Bipolar Disorder

There are several types of bipolar disorder, including:

Bipolar I Disorder

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.

Options for Bipolar Disorder Treatment in New Jersey

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:

  • Immediate crisis stabilization
  • Individual and group therapy
  • Medication management
  • Access to a multidisciplinary treatment team

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:

  • Several hours of group and individual therapy each day
  • Education on self-management strategies
  • Comprehensive symptom monitoring

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:

  • Mood Stabilizers: Lithium or anticonvulsants to balance mood shifts.
  • Antipsychotics: To address manic episodes or psychotic symptoms.
  • Antidepressants: May be prescribed cautiously for depressive episodes.

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:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focused on identifying and reframing thought patterns that contribute to mood episodes.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Helps regulate intense emotions and build interpersonal skills.
  • Family Therapy: Supports loved ones in understanding bipolar disorder and creating a healthier family dynamic.

Therapy sessions teach clients skills to recognize mood episode triggers, navigate challenges, and maintain stability over time.
