Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that causes extreme fluctuations in your mood. You might alternate between feelings of extreme happiness and severe sadness.

The hallmark signs of bipolar disorder include:
If you suspect you or a loved one has bipolar disorder, see Diana as soon as possible for screening and a treatment plan.
The cause of bipolar disorder isn’t fully understood, but your risk of developing it may increase because of a family history of bipolar disorder. Additional risk factors are high-stress situations, past traumatic life events, and substance misuse.
Diana determines if you have bipolar disorder or another mental health condition after discussing your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. She completes a psychiatric evaluation to assess your thoughts, moods, emotions, and behaviors.
My Wellness Psychiatry also uses GeneSight® genetic testing to get an idea of which medicines are likely the most effective based on your genetic makeup.
Diana specializes in holistic approaches to treating bipolar disorder. She uses lifestyle-change counseling to improve your diet, sleep, and exercise habits, while minimizing stress.
Additional bipolar treatment options include medication management and psychotherapy. You might undergo therapy sessions to learn cognitive-behavioral changes that improve your mood and quality of life, while allowing you to overcome specific challenges related to bipolar disorder.
Diana personalizes treatment based on your needs, preferences, and the severity of your bipolar disorder. She follows up with you to make sure your treatment works effectively and can alter your plan if it’s needed.
