Kirsten W. Bolton, LICSW, Talks About Recognizing Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

There’s no question that mood shifts are a part of life. We all experience what it’s like to go from being happy to feeling sad, and the other way around. But for the millions of people living with bipolar disorder (BD), these shifts can be intense, jarring swings between deeply depressive states and episodes of mania. Untreated, the disorder can make even daily tasks seem impossible. But with the right care, BD can be successfully managed, allowing those navigating its challenges to thrive.

So how can we recognize whether someone is experiencing the onset of this serious mental health condition? What should we know about the different types of bipolar disorder? And what does effective treatment look like?

In this previously recorded session, Kirsten W. Bolton, LICSW, discusses the various forms of bipolar disorder, shares tips for identifying manic and depressive episodes, and answers questions about effective treatment methods and additional supports for someone living with BD.
