Mood Disorders

Bipolar spectrum and cyclical mood shifts that outrun explanation.

When mood swings on a cycle of its own — energy that surges then collapses, sleep that disappears without fatigue — accurate diagnosis matters more than fast prescribing. Getting this right protects you from years of treatment aimed at the wrong target.

How care usually works

We map your mood history over time, not just this month. Mood stabilization comes first, with careful attention to how any medication affects sleep, cognition and daily function.

What we focus on

  • Longitudinal mood history and screening
  • Mood stabilizer management
  • Sleep-wake regulation
  • Early-warning planning with the people around you
