Types of Bipolar Disorder We Treat
At AvemaPsych & Medical PLLC, we understand that bipolar disorder manifests in various forms, each requiring a specific treatment approach. Dr. Malik’s proficiency extends to managing different types of bipolar disorder, including:
- Bipolar I Disorder Treatment – Characterized by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days or by manic symptoms severe enough to require immediate hospital care. Treatment may involve mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, and psychotherapy.
- Bipolar II Disorder Treatment – Defined by a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but not the full-blown manic episodes of Bipolar I. A combination of medication and therapy, like CBT, is often effective in treatment.
- Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia) Treatment – A milder form of bipolar disorder involving periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms. Management may include mood stabilizers and behavioral therapy.
- Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder Treatment – This type involves four or more episodes of mania, hypomania, or depression within a year. Treatment is usually complex and may require a combination of medications and psychotherapeutic interventions.
We also work with other forms of depression and can provide services for comorbid conditions that may be affecting those with bipolar disorder.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Effective management of bipolar disorder involves an integrated approach, customized to the patient’s specific experiences and symptoms. During your initial consultation, Dr. Malik will delve into your mental health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors. This thorough assessment leads to a personalized treatment plan that may comprise:
- Medication Management – To stabilize mood swings and manage symptoms effectively.
- Psychotherapy – Including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic modalities to equip patients with coping strategies and to address underlying issues.
- Lifestyle Counseling and Additional Resources – To assist with managing stress and promoting overall well-being.
