Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Medication and Supplement Treatment Plans

When it comes to treating the symptoms of bipolar disorder, our skilled psychiatric nurse practitioners know just what to prescribe. Mood-regulating medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers, can be quite helpful. Omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin supplements, among others, may be used in tandem with conventional medical care.

At Wellness Psychiatry, we take an integrated approach to treatment that combines medication therapy with integrative treatments such as nutrition therapy and stress management. When used together, these therapies can help to balance neurotransmitter levels, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall emotional wellbeing.
​
Medication and supplement treatment plans can work together in a variety of ways. For example, medications such as SSRIs (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and SNRIs (norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors) are frequently used to target the underlying cause of depression or anxiety symptoms. These medications increase serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain and can be effectively used with nutrition therapy, herbal treatments, and lifestyle modifications to further improve a patient’s mental health.

Integrative Approach to Bipolar Treatment

If you want the best possible outcomes from your medical treatment, consider our integrated medicine method, which combines conventional medical care with alternative therapies. Combining medication with nutritional therapy, stress management, and other lifestyle changes can better regulate brain chemistry, increase the quality of sleep, and boost mental health. Our bipolar treatments typically involve a personalized approach towards a medication plan or supplement plan, and sometimes a combination of the two. We also offer psychotherapy and lifestyle modifications, as these can be incredibly helpful in managing the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We’re aware that bipolar disorder manifests itself in different ways for different people. As a result, we tailor our care to the individual requirements of each patient. An effective and well-rounded treatment strategy may involve a combination of medicine, supplements, psychotherapy, and changes to the patient’s diet and way of life.
