Our mental health experts have an intimate knowledge of bipolar disorder in all its forms, and they understand that its symptoms can often feel overwhelming. You may feel hopeless at first, but we want to restore your hope for what lies ahead. We will help to provide clarity around your current situation, allow you to start making peace with your mental health challenges and support you in moving more confidently towards your goals.

We recognise that everyone’s situation is different, so we’ll always carry out an initial assessment before recommending the best course of action for your needs. You’ll receive a treatment plan focused on gaining the best possible outcome for you, structured within guidelines.

You don’t need to feel alone. Bipolar disorder is a relatively common mental health condition, which around 1 in 100 people will be diagnosed with. We can help you to understand what you are going through, by addressing your specific, unique symptoms.

Previously known as manic depression, bipolar disorder is characterised by extreme mood swings. These can range from excessive energetic highs, known as mania, to the extreme lows of depression. Episodes of these can last for anywhere between several weeks and several months.

You may be wondering how to spot the signs of bipolar disorder. Here are some key symptoms of both depressive and manic episodes, which demonstrate the condition’s contrasts:

• Feelings of extreme sadness and unhappiness
• Losing interest in activities you previously enjoyed
• Low self-esteem
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
• Changes in appetite
• Feelings of exhaustion
• Increased energy and desire to be active
• Racing thoughts and talking quickly
• Not needing as much sleep
• Unrealistic beliefs about your own abilities

Some people experience only a handful of bipolar episodes during their lifetime; others go through many episodes. While bipolar disorder can be diagnosed at any age, you will most likely have experienced symptoms during your teens. Bipolar disorder is rarely diagnosed in middle age or later life.

Every person is different, so we will work with you to create a treatment programme completely personalised to your needs. Our team are committed to ensuring that you receive the best possible outcome from our support.

Treatment for Bipolar Disorder

Individuals with bipolar disorder, whether it’s Bipolar I, Bipolar II, or Cyclothymic Disorder, experience far more intense mood swings. These mood swings can range from depression to mania and cause many problems in your personal and professional life. You may be unable to get out of bed for days, but then wake up feeling as though you can do anything in the world. It is this pattern of mania and depression that can lead to intense interpersonal problems. These extremes in emotions can lead to a large amount of chaos and distress for people affected by bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is treatable, but it can be hard to identify the warning signs and get the help you need. Recognizing the problem is the first step toward effective recovery.

While successful recovery from bipolar disorder doesn’t happen immediately, with the right support and treatment plan you can get better. At our treatment center, we’re dedicated to providing you with a safe and supportive setting as you learn about your disorder and how to more effectively cope with your symptoms.
