Contact UsWhat Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a chronic mood disorder characterized by drastic emotional swings that can come on suddenly and last days, weeks, or even months. While we all might experience shifts in our moods from time to time, individuals with bipolar disorder tend to experience more intense emotions that can affect their behavior and disrupt their day-to-day lives. While bipolar disorder typically manifests during childhood or the young adult years, this condition can affect people at any age. If you have been diagnosed as bipolar or are struggling as a result of manic or depressive episodes, the team at Ignite Psychiatry is here to help. We want you to enjoy a more balanced, satisfied life so schedule a telepsychiatry or in-person appointment at our Lubbock, TX practice to get started.
How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed and Treated?
To diagnose your condition, we'll start by reviewing your symptoms and getting a detailed medical profile, including your family history and past mental health treatments. There are several classifications of bipolar disorder, including bipolar I disorder (characterized by longer or more intense manic episodes), bipolar II disorder (characterized by depressive episodes and less intense mania), and cyclothymic disorder (a mixture of hypomanic and depressive episodes that tend to be less severe). Once we have a clearer picture of your condition, we can build a custom-tailored treatment plan to help you manage your moods, which may include medication and regular psychiatric appointments.
Ignite Psychiatry Reviews
A boutique medical practice that helped me so much. Excellent care and expertise. Especially recommend to women going through menopause and deal with weight gain and hormonal mood swings and anxiety. Lubbock is so lucky to have this practice.
Katie Wheeler has been a lifesaver for our family. My husband suffers from mental illness and addiction. It is very difficult to find professionals that are capable of finding the right medications and therapies and who are also kind and caring. Katie has those qualities, plus she's intelligent, intuitive and a great listener. We know we can depend on Katie for appointments and help when needed.
Katie is absolutely amazing and my guardian angel! Having anxiety and depression is an absolute nightmare. I was in an extremely dark place way past what I could handle. She helped me not only out of that dark place, but still keeps me from going back. I would not be where I am today without her. Katie has helped me to be a successful business owner, a better father, better husband, and most importantly the best version of myself. Thank you for everything!
