We recognize that bipolar disorders, both type I and type II, are complex conditions that can often be misinterpreted or oversimplified. It's not just about mood swings; it's about periods of mania or hypomania interspersed with depressive episodes, each carrying its own set of challenges. These disorders are multifaceted, and their presentation can vary immensely from one individual to the next. Whether you're navigating the highs of manic episodes or the lows of depressive states, our experienced team is here to support you through every phase.
Same Day Psychiatry Appointments
Bipolar I disorder is characterized by manic episodes that last at least seven days or manic symptoms that are severe enough to require immediate hospital care, often accompanied by depressive episodes. Bipolar II disorder, on the other hand, involves a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes but doesn't entail the full-blown manic episodes observed in type I. Both conditions, while distinct, require a nuanced understanding and specialized therapeutic approach to address the varied symptoms that individuals experience.
For those endeavoring to understand and manage bipolar disorders, our primary commitment is ensuring an accurate diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is pivotal in charting the right therapeutic course—this means using a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments tailored specifically for you. Neither you nor your loved ones should be left navigating these conditions without a clear roadmap. At our practice, we are dedicated to equipping you with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to manage symptoms appropriately, ensuring that each individual can lead a fulfilling, balanced life.
At Animo Sano our goal is to get you feeling better and back to doing the things in your life that you find meaningful. If you feel that you may be experiencing any of these symptoms, or simply do not feel like yourself, reach out and we can help.

They offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if the provider is a good fit. I took advantage of that, Doctor Arafat is willing to do a treatment plan for my complex ADHD which my last office did not do. They just did medication management and they didn't even do a good job of that. I'll follow up with another review as things progress.Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 276 reviews
