Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). There are three main types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder.
Bipolar I
Bipolar I is defined by manic episodes that last at least seven days or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate care. Depressive episodes also occur, typically lasting at least two weeks.
Bipolar II
Bipolar II disorder is not a milder form of bipolar I disorder but a separate diagnosis. It is characterized by less intense hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes. While the acute manic episodes of bipolar I disorder can be severe and dangerous, individuals with bipolar II disorder can be depressed for longer periods, which can cause significant impairment.
Cyclothymic Disorder
Cyclothymic disorder, also known as cyclothymia, is a milder form of bipolar disorder. Individuals with this condition experience chronic fluctuating moods over at least two years. These mood fluctuations consist of hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms.
Managing bipolar disorder in the long term requires a conscious effort to recognize and manage the different phases of the condition. Outpatient support from Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health can help.
Mental Health Support for a Busy Life
We recognize that life doesn’t pause for mental illness. That’s why we offer flexible outpatient programming and resources to ensure you can manage your bipolar disorder while maintaining your day-to-day responsibilities. We provide ongoing support, education, and tools to help manage stress, maintain relationships, and improve your overall well-being.
Our Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment in Massachusetts
Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health’s comprehensive treatment program is personalized to each individual’s needs. It includes trauma-informed therapy, gender-specific group programming, and several evidence-based therapies.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Many people with bipolar disorder have experienced trauma in their lives. Our trauma-informed approach acknowledges and addresses these experiences to help individuals heal and move forward.
Gender-Specific Group Programming
We understand that gender can influence how mental health conditions manifest and are experienced. Our gender-specific groups provide structured, supportive spaces for individuals to explore these issues among peers who understand their unique challenges.
Our gender-specific tracks offer support for those who feel more comfortable in those settings. We are inclusive of people of all identities, however, and are ready to provide bipolar disorder treatment for those in need.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our treatment program utilizes several evidence-based therapies, including:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Internal family systems (IFS)
- Narrative therapy
Each of these therapies offers unique strategies and approaches to manage bipolar disorder. We also teach mindfulness skills to help you better regulate your emotions and develop self-care practices.
