If medications are newly prescribed or changed, we will conduct a follow-up visit every two weeks to get your medication stabilized. This is necessary to ensure proper administration and minimize any side effects you may experience. If your symptoms improve, follow-up intervals can be spaced out to a monthly interval. For clients on maintenance therapy, follow-up visits can be held at three-month intervals. We may discuss an alternate treatment structure depending on your circumstances.

Treatment length varies between individuals and diagnoses. Treatment for depression and anxiety can range from nine months through several years or longer. This will depend on the type and severity. Some conditions, such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, tend to require life-long treatment, though this may vary depending on symptoms and lifestyle factors. Treatment length is always individualized for each client and will be determined based on your needs in conjunction with your provider's assessment.

Bipolar disorder involves episodes of mania or hypomania (elevated energy, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts) and episodes of depression (low mood, low energy, loss of interest). The specific pattern varies by person and by type.

Bipolar I involves at least one full manic episode. Bipolar II involves hypomanic episodes (less severe than mania) along with depressive episodes, without a full manic episode ever occurring.

No. Bipolar disorder involves distinct, sustained episodes of mania or depression that can last days to months — very different from everyday mood changes, and a diagnosable medical condition, not a personality trait.

Diagnosis is based on a comprehensive evaluation of your mood history, including the duration and pattern of episodes, sleep and energy changes, family history, and ruling out other explanations for your symptoms.

Medication is typically a central part of effective bipolar disorder treatment. Therapy and lifestyle support can be valuable additions, but they're generally used alongside, rather than instead of, medication management. Your provider will talk through what makes sense for your specific situation.

The two can also occur together, which an evaluation can help clarify.

Early signs can include persistent aggression, difficulty following rules at home or school, frequent conflict with peers or adults, and a pattern of dishonesty. One incident isn't a diagnosis — it's the pattern over time that matters.

Family involvement can be an important part of treatment for conduct disorder, and we include caregivers in the treatment plan when appropriate.

No, though they often occur together. Part of a thorough evaluation is figuring out which conditions are present so treatment addresses the right ones.
