Managing the Highs and Lows of Mood with Expert Support

Managing the Highs and Lows of Mood with Expert Support

Bipolar Disorder goes far beyond simple mood swings. It is a complex mental health condition that causes significant shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to function day-to-day. At Kriteyu Health Care, we offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment that helps individuals find balance, stability, and renewed control in their lives.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar Disorder involves alternating episodes of mania (or hypomania) and depression. These episodes can vary in intensity and frequency but often disrupt relationships, work, sleep, and emotional well-being.

Common symptoms of a Manic or Hypomanic Episode:

  • Elevated or unusually irritable mood
  • Increased energy and activity levels
  • Reduced need for sleep
  • Racing thoughts or rapid speech
  • Risk-taking behaviour or poor judgement

Common symptoms of a Depressive Episode:

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness
  • Fatigue and lack of motivation
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Sleep disturbances (too much or too little)
  • Thoughts of worthlessness or guilt

If these patterns are recurring or significantly affecting quality of life, a professional evaluation can help you understand whether Bipolar Disorder may be the cause.

Types of Bipolar Disorder

There are several forms of the condition, and accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment:

  • Bipolar I Disorder: Characterised by full manic episodes and often depressive episodes.
  • Bipolar II Disorder: Involves hypomania (a less intense form of mania) and episodes of depression.
  • Cyclothymic Disorder: Milder but chronic mood swings over a longer period.
  • Other Specified or Unspecified Bipolar Disorders: Where symptoms don't fall into clear categories but still require support.

What Causes Bipolar Disorder?

While the exact cause is not fully known, several factors contribute:

  • Genetic predisposition or family history
  • Chemical imbalances in the brain
  • Trauma or prolonged stress
  • Substance use or sleep disruptions

Understanding your unique profile helps us tailor a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.

How We Treat Bipolar Disorder at Kriteyu Health Care

Managing Bipolar Disorder involves a comprehensive approach to stabilise mood and prevent relapse. Your personalised care may include:

  • Medication Management: Mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, or antidepressants may be used based on your symptoms and phase of illness, with regular monitoring.
  • Psychoeducation: Helping you understand triggers, early warning signs, and how to manage lifestyle factors to reduce risk of relapse.
  • Therapy and Counselling: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, or family-focused therapy to improve coping, communication, and emotional regulation.
  • Routine and Lifestyle Support: Regular sleep, structured daily activities, and healthy habits can reduce episode severity and improve recovery.
  • Support for Families: We guide families in understanding mood episodes, how to respond during crises, and how to maintain boundaries with empathy.
