Bipolar disorder is characterized by unstable and extreme mood swings varying from serious depression to extreme highs called Mania. At either end of this continuum, patients can be seriously impaired in their overall functioning. At Geenens Psychiatry, we diagnose and treat this complex disorder using our extensive knowledge of pharmacology and its benefits for bipolar disorder.
We provide personalized care for individuals living with bipolar disorder. Our approach focuses on understanding how mood changes affect your daily life—whether it’s periods of depression, elevated mood, or difficulty maintaining balance.
At Geenens Psychiatry, care is tailored to your unique needs. We take the time to listen, evaluate your symptoms, and create a treatment plan that supports your mental health and overall well-being. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, or both.
You may benefit from a professional evaluation if you or your child are experiencing symptoms such as:
Persistent sadness or feelings of hopelessness
Racing or intrusive thoughts
Unusually high or low energy levels
Changes in sleep patterns (sleeping too much or too little)
Loss of interest in daily activities
If these symptoms are affecting your daily life, relationships, or work, it may be time to seek support. Our team offers both in-person and telehealth evaluations to better understand your symptoms and provide guidance.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or are in immediate distress, seek urgent medical care right away.
Treatment at Geenens Psychiatry is personalized and designed to support long-term stability. Care may include:
Psychotherapy
Therapy helps you better understand mood patterns, develop coping strategies, and manage daily challenges more effectively.
Medication Management
Medications may be recommended to help regulate mood and reduce symptoms. We carefully monitor and adjust treatment to ensure it is safe and effective.
Our goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that helps you stay in control of your symptoms and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.
