About Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder affects approximately 2.8% of U.S. adults. Bipolar I involves full manic episodes; Bipolar II involves hypomania and depression. Cyclothymia is a milder form. Mood stabilizers (lithium, valproate, lamotrigine) and atypical antipsychotics are the cornerstone of treatment, often combined with psychoeducation and CBT.

Bipolar Disorder is highly treatable with the right care. Magellan covers bipolar disorder treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
