What It Is

Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, sometimes referred to as manic-depressive disorder, is characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that affect a person's ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. These shifts range from manic or hypomanic episodes, periods of elevated mood, energy, and impulsivity, to depressive episodes marked by low mood and loss of interest.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 2.8% of U.S. adults had bipolar disorder in the past year, with prevalence roughly equal between men and women. The median age of onset is 25 years old, though symptoms can begin in adolescence or later in adulthood. With consistent, individualized treatment, people with bipolar disorder can effectively manage symptoms and maintain stability.

Located in Phoenixville, we provide bipolar disorder treatment to individuals throughout Chester County and the greater Philadelphia region, including Pottstown, Malvern, Norristown, and surrounding communities.
