Recognizing Bipolar Patterns Early

Identifying the early signs of bipolar disorder isn't always simple. Some days, energy increases and sleep becomes difficult, leading to impulsive decisions that can strain relationships and trust. Other times, motivation decreases, and even activities you once enjoyed may lose their appeal. When both extremes occur, the emotional impact can feel overwhelming. Total Mind Wellness Group pays close attention to these shifts, helping you recognize patterns before they intensify. This early awareness informs every part of your treatment plan.

• Manic Episodes: Sudden increases in energy, reduced need for sleep, and decisions that may affect your work or relationships.
• Depressive Phases: Significant fatigue, ongoing sadness, and feeling disconnected from things that once mattered to you.
• Mixed Features: Overlapping highs and lows that make emotions feel difficult to sort through.
• Sleep Changes: Shifting between restless nights and extended periods in bed, without a consistent pattern.
