Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood episodes can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly. Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year.
Manic Symptoms include increased energy, euphoria, reduced need for sleep, unusual talkativeness, racing thoughts, distractibility, and engaging in risky behaviors. Individuals may feel overly confident, take on unrealistic projects, or make impulsive decisions that can lead to serious consequences.
Feelings of sadness or hopelessness, significant loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, fatigue, changes in appetite, trouble concentrating, and thoughts of suicide. These symptoms can make routine tasks insurmountable, affecting work, school, and relationships.
Symptoms of both mania and depression co-occurring. This can be particularly distressing, as individuals may experience agitation and high energy levels while feeling deeply hopeless or irritable.
Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking appropriate help can make a significant difference in managing the condition effectively. Proper diagnosis is essential, as bipolar disorder can often be mistaken for depression or other mental health disorders. A clear understanding of the condition allows for more targeted treatment and improved long-term outcomes.
Finding the right treatment plan for bipolar disorder can be critical in managing the condition and improving the quality of life. Here’s how Excel Behavioral Health in NJ addresses this need:
Our inpatient treatment program provides a structured and supportive environment for those needing intensive care. This level of care is ideal for individuals experiencing severe manic or depressive episodes, ensuring they receive constant medical and therapeutic support. Patients in our inpatient program benefit from round-the-clock supervision, which provides a sense of security during vulnerable times. This setting also fosters an immersive therapeutic environment where individuals can focus solely on their recovery.
PHP offers a middle ground between inpatient and outpatient care. Patients receive therapeutic support during the day while returning home in the evenings. This program is designed for those requiring high support but also benefit from spending time in their usual environment. It allows individuals to apply learned coping strategies in real-life situations while still receiving the structure and guidance of clinical care.
IOP provides a flexible and less intensive treatment option. Patients attend therapy sessions weekly while continuing their regular activities and employment. This option allows for ongoing support and skill-building in a more relaxed setting. IOP is especially beneficial for those transitioning from more intensive care or who need a strong support system without a residential stay.
For those who need continued care and regular monitoring on a less intensive basis, our outpatient treatment program offers regular therapy sessions and psychiatric evaluations. It provides consistency and therapeutic guidance while allowing clients to participate fully in their daily lives. This option supports long-term recovery and is ideal for individuals who have built a stable routine but benefit from ongoing professional support.
find the right drug and dosage that fits each individual’s needs. Regular evaluations ensure the treatment plan is effective, with adjustments to support optimal functioning. Our approach emphasizes open communication, helping patients feel informed and empowered in their medication management.
Therapeutic support is crucial in managing the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Our experienced counselors offer individual, group, and family therapy sessions. Therapy helps patients understand their condition, develop coping strategies, and build a support network that encourages long-term stability and growth. These sessions foster emotional resilience and provide a safe space to process experiences and emotions constructively.

We continuously evaluate the effectiveness of each approach and adapt strategies to best meet our patients’ evolving needs.
