Comprehensive evaluation services to assess bipolar disorder through clinical interviews, standardized assessments, and thorough history review, providing accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
At Hope Wellness Medical Center, we provide comprehensive testing and evaluation for Bipolar Disorder. Our expert team is dedicated to helping individuals gain clarity about their mental health and take the first step toward effective treatment and stability. Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression). Proper diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, as the symptoms can overlap with other conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD.

Many aspects of bipolar disorder evaluation can be conducted through our secure telehealth platform, making assessment more accessible.
The evaluation typically takes 2-3 sessions to complete, including initial consultation, assessment, and feedback sessions. Additional sessions may be needed for complex cases.
Consider evaluation if you experience significant mood swings that disrupt daily life, periods of unusually high energy or impulsivity, episodes of sadness or fatigue lasting weeks, sleep disturbances, racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or if bipolar disorder runs in your family.
We provide comprehensive treatment recommendations which may include medication management, therapy (such as CBT or DBT), lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support for mood stability. Our team works with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
An accurate diagnosis is essential as misdiagnosing Bipolar Disorder as depression or another condition can lead to ineffective treatments and prolonged challenges. Our thorough evaluation process ensures clarity and confidence in your care plan.
If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, severe mood episode, or having thoughts of self-harm, seek immediate help.
