Bipolar Disorder Treatment in East Setauket, NY

Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mood condition marked by episodes of depression and periods of elevated or irritable mood (mania or hypomania). These shifts can affect your energy, judgment, sleep, and relationships — but with the right care, balance is absolutely possible.

At Resilience Psychiatry, we provide evidence-based diagnosis and treatment to help patients achieve lasting stability and emotional well-being.

Types of Bipolar Disorder

  • Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by manic episodes that may last a week or longer, often alternating with depressive episodes.
  • Bipolar II Disorder: Involves patterns of depression and hypomania (less intense elevation of mood).

Each type requires a nuanced approach, which is why accurate diagnosis and ongoing support are key.

Our Approach to Treating Bipolar Disorder

Treatment at Resilience Psychiatry starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, triggers, and history.

From there, we build a plan that may include:

  • Mood-stabilizing medication to regulate emotional highs and lows
  • Psychotherapy to identify early warning signs and strengthen coping strategies
  • Sleep and lifestyle planning to maintain stability
  • Collaborative care with therapists or primary care providers
  • Telepsychiatry for continuity and flexibility

Our goal is to help you achieve emotional steadiness and a renewed sense of control over your life.
