What we treat
Mood disorders treatment
With mood disorders, the goal is stability that holds up through everyday stress, not just one good month.
Both bipolar I and bipolar II are treated here, along with the depression that takes up most of the time people spend unwell.
How treatment is built
Treatment usually centers on a medicine that helps keep mood steady. The choice depends on your pattern and what has worked for you before.
We check in regularly and adjust the plan as your life and needs change.
Beyond medication
With mood disorders, daily routine does real work:
- Steady sleep and wake times. Lost sleep can trigger an episode and can also be an early warning sign.
- Knowing your own early warning signs, with a plan agreed ahead of time.
- Limiting alcohol and drugs, which can affect your mood and your treatment.
- Someone close to you who knows the pattern and has permission to speak up.
Common questions
Can I be treated for mood disorders by telehealth?
Yes. Most follow-up visits work well by video, and in-person visits are available when you want them.
Will I be on medication for life?
Many people stay on treatment long-term because it helps keep things steady. How long, and on what, is something we review together over time.
