What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that causes significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels, ranging from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression). These changes can affect relationships, work, and daily life, but with consistent psychiatric care, bipolar disorder is very manageable. We help people across Miami, Coral Gables, Doral, and Kendall live full, stable lives.
Bipolar disorder can co-occur with anxiety and sleep disorders.
