Bipolar disorder—sometimes known as manic-depressive illness—is a mental health disorder that causes severe changes in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. Like many mental health concerns, bipolar disorder can vary in intensity, and symptoms can be minor or suppressed. However, individuals struggling with the condition need support to heal and manage the condition, just like any mental health issue, to achieve positive overall wellness. At Harmony Hills, we offer a wide range of mental health treatment programs that can provide the support necessary for those dealing with bipolar disorder. Contact us at 855.494.0357 to learn more.

Not every person with bipolar disorder will exhibit these symptoms. Similarly, these symptoms will vary in duration and intensity for each individual. However, rarely will anyone be able to address these signs of the condition in isolation. A bipolar disorder treatment program offers the best and most effective means to identify the signs and address the condition’s symptoms.
The Harmony Hills bipolar disorder treatment program consists of group therapy every day weekly individual and family therapy sessions, and medication management. Our program uses evidence-based approaches to treat bipolar disorder and co-occurring conditions, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and substance use disorders. In the latter case, addiction and co-occurring disorders are treated simultaneously, with emphasis given to how these conditions reinforce one another. At Harmony Hills, your mental health is our mission. We take pride in watching people flourish in our care and alumni program.
Alcohol and drug abuse are extremely common among people who have bipolar disorder. Studies have shown an increased tendency for anxiety and obsessive disorders.
People often suffer for years before their bipolar disorder is properly diagnosed and treated. Once diagnosed, most people respond to a treatment program that combines medication, education, and support. Treatment goals at Harmony Hills are to stabilize the acute episode, if present, and prevent the recurrence of future episodes.
For many years, our staff at Harmony Hills has worked tirelessly to help people overcome their mental health concerns and move on to happier, more connected lives. We are one of Central Florida’s leaders in treating psychiatric conditions in our mental health treatment program, and we have extensive experience treating many mental health conditions simultaneously.
