If you or someone you love is experiencing intense mood swings, periods of deep sadness followed by unusually high energy or irritability, it could be more than just emotional ups and downs. These patterns may signal Bipolar Disorder, a complex condition that can deeply impact relationships, work, and daily life. 

​

Bipolar Disorder involves shifts between episodes of depression (low mood, fatigue, loss of interest) and mania or hypomania (elevated or irritable mood, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior, and little need for sleep). Some individuals may also experience a mix of both states at once. 

​

Because Bipolar Disorder can look different from person to person, we approach it as part of Bipolar Spectrum, which includes: 

​

1. Bipolar Disorder type I 

2. Bipolar Disorder type II 

3. Cyclothymic Disorder 

 

Accurate diagnosis is essential, yet Bipolar Disorder is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, delaying effective treatment. At JNC Behavioral Services, we take the time to understand your unique experience and provide a clear path forward.
