Bipolar Disorder Treatment at Home

Whilst it is common for people to experience mood changes in response to certain situations, some people have more severe mood fluctuations that can affect daily living. This is referred to as bipolar disorder, or manic depression.

 

Individuals with bipolar disorder experience extreme highs (mania), to extreme lows (depression). These intense mood swings can last from a few hours to several months.  It is a chronic (long-term) condition which affects men more than women, and typically develops in teenagers and young adults. 

 

Bipolar disorder can feel completely overwhelming. The crushing lows pull the joy out of life, and mania can affect our judgement and behaviour, damaging our self-esteem and interpersonal relationships.

 

Contact Orchestrate Health today if you or a loved one require private bipolar disorder treatment at home.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a chronic mental health condition characterised by extreme mood swings. These mood swings oscillate between manic episodes, marked by heightened energy, euphoria, and impulsive behaviour, and depressive episodes, involving feelings of profound sadness, lack of interest, and hopelessness.

 

The main types of bipolar disorder are:

Cause of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder results from a combination of factors, including:

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

Symptoms can vary between individuals and the type of bipolar disorder they experience, but common symptoms consist of:

Manic Phase:

Depressive Phase:

Bipolar I

This is the most common and severe form of bipolar disorder and typically involves one or more manic episodes, with or without occurring depressive episodes. The manic phase usually last around a week (sometimes longer).

Bipolar II

An individual with this form of bipolar disorder will experience shifts between less severe manic and depressive episodes. Periods of mania are not as severe as they are with Bipolar I and are referred to as hypomanic episodes. They also last for a shorter period. Depressive episodes can last for longer periods; sometimes years and are similar to clinical depression, with symptoms of low energy, low mood and feelings of worthlessness.

Cyclothymia

Cyclothymia, sometimes referred to as Bipolar III is less severe but a long-term form of the condition. It is characterised by a continual shift in mood; from hypomania to depression and typically lasts for more than two years. Symptoms are not as severe, and the individual can experience longer periods of standard moods.

Rapid Cycling

This form of bipolar disorder is diagnosed when an individual experiences four or more episodes of mania, hypomania, or depression in any twelve-month period. The episodes can occur in any combination and order and can often lead to turbulent behaviour and disrupted relationships.

Treatment for Bipolar Disorder

Many people automatically think of residential treatment when it comes to bipolar disorder, especially in more extreme episodes of mania or depression. This might be alarming to some people and could put them off getting help. However, this is not true. 

 

It is often possible to treat bipolar disorder with little disruption to your everyday life. We deliver high-quality bespoke mental health care solutions in the comfort of your own home. Our highly trained professionals will devise a custom plan that can be delivered via video call.

 

You will not need to travel for appointments or share groups with anyone. You will have our undivided attention as you focus on the most important thing – recovery.

How Does Bipolar Treatment at Home Work?

Integrated Treatment Approach

As part of our holistic approach, we also use evidence-based and innovative therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Bipolar Disorder-focused Dialectical Behavioural Therapy that can improve your emotional regulation and increase your stress tolerance. 

 

In mental health recovery we believe that education and self-knowledge is key. During treatment you will also gain a greater understanding of your condition, so you will be able to recognise when you might be on the edge of a manic or depressive episode.

Medication

We can use mood stabilisers to reduce episodes of mania and depression. These are taken long-term and should make the symptoms less extreme when they occur. We can also use more fast-acting medication to curb the symptoms of depression and mania when they occur.

Live in Support

If necessary, we can arrange in-home support such as:
