Bipolar disorder involves intense shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels — ranging from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression). These changes can disrupt relationships, work, school, and overall quality of life. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer compassionate care to help individuals understand their diagnosis, regulate mood, and develop strategies for long-term wellness.
Are You Struggling with Mood Swings?
You may benefit from counseling for bipolar disorder if you:
- Experience extreme mood changes from high energy to deep sadness
- Have periods of impulsive or risky behavior, followed by depression or regret
- Struggle to maintain stability in relationships, work, or daily routines
- Have difficulty sleeping, focusing, or managing emotions
- Feel out of control or unsure of how to handle intense mood shifts
- Want support in building structure and coping skills for daily life
