Am I Just Moody?
Manic depression is a mood disorder that involves extreme mood swings. A broader term, called bipolar disorder, encompasses a wider variety of mood swings. Understanding these extreme mood swings is the beginning of being able to safely navigate and control your moods to keep them from interfering with your daily life.

With a bipolar disorder, you experience wide ranges in your moods — from significant sadness, known as bipolar depression, to extreme euphoria, called mania or hypomania. Your mood swings may occur occasionally, or they may cycle rapidly several times a year. Bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition with no known cure, but you can learn to manage it.

While a qualified psychiatrist can diagnose the condition at any age, most noticeable symptoms appear in your late teens or early twenties. The experienced doctor at Online Psychiatrists — serving patients in NY, FL and NJ — successfully manages the condition with a bipolar disorder treatment plan that usually includes:

What Are the Types of Bipolar Disorders?
Manic depression is only one type of bipolar disorder. Not all bipolar disorders are manic depression. Other types of dramatic mood changes are related, but have different symptoms, causes or treatments.

• Medications
• Group therapy
• Psychological therapy

Understanding your specific condition by focusing on your unique symptoms allows your doctor to tailor a successful treatment plan. The best treatment for bipolar disorder for you takes into account your diagnosis. The types of bipolar disorder include:

Bipolar I disorder. This severe form of bipolar disorder means that you experience manic episodes — feelings of euphoria, extreme energy and irritability — followed by a period of deep depression. Bipolar depression affects your pleasure centers, causing feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Occasionally, the mania causes a break from reality, dropping you into an episode of psychosis.

Bipolar II disorder. Called hypomania, this is a milder form of mania that’s associated with excessive energy along with scattered thoughts. If you’ve experienced hypomania and depression, but not intense mania, your psychiatrist may suggest bipolar II treatment.

Cyclothymic disorder. This form of bipolar disorder encompasses hypomania and milder forms of depression. Before diagnosis, you’ve been suffering from these mood changes for at least two years.

Other disorders. Other conditions may induce bipolar-type symptoms. Drugs, alcohol, stroke, multiple sclerosis and Cushing’s disease all contribute to changes in the brain that may initiate bipolar symptoms. Trust your New York psychiatrist to determine the correct diagnosis.
