What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar Disorder is a neurological condition characterized by significant, often disruptive shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts go far beyond the normal ups and downs of everyday life, presenting as distinct episodes of mania (or hypomania) and depression.

Because the symptoms of Bipolar Disorder fluctuate, getting an accurate diagnosis is the critical first step. Our specialized prescribers understand the nuances of this condition and are dedicated to finding the exact right balance of treatment to keep you grounded.

Common Signs of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is characterized by contrasting episodes. A person may be experiencing this condition if they cycle between depressive lows and manic highs, which include:

  • Periods of abnormally elevated energy or agitation (Mania)
  • A significantly decreased need for sleep without feeling tired
  • Racing thoughts and speaking unusually fast
  • Impulsive or risky decision-making
  • Followed by periods of deep sadness and severe fatigue
  • Difficulty maintaining daily routines or relationships

I received ketamine treatment from KMHM.  They were extremely compassionate, caring, and supportive.  After receiving the ketamine treatment protocol I experienced remarkable relief from the crippling feelings of depression and anxiety. I enjoyed my life again and was fully able to contribute in the responsibilities of being a husband, parent and productive employee. I am so grateful to KMHM for making the highly effective ketamine treatment available in our city.

I was hopeless and out of options.  My medications were no longer working and my depression was worsening and leading to suicidal thoughts to say the least.  After the 1st 6 treatments of Ketamine, I was clearly on the road to recovery.  I felt alive again and full of hope.  I could never be so thankful to have this as a treatment option.  Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Kansas Mental Health Medicine.
