Supporting someone with bipolar disorder starts with compassion, patience, and a solid understanding of what they’re navigating. Offer steady emotional support, encourage them to stay connected to treatment, and avoid taking their symptoms personally. And remember, caring for yourself matters too. Overcomers Counseling can help guide both you and your loved one through these ups and downs.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding a roller coaster you didn’t exactly sign up for—episodes of deep depression on one end and bursts of high energy or euphoria on the other. Everyone’s experience looks a little different, and at Overcomers Counseling, we recognize that your story deserves to be understood on its own terms.
Five common signs of bipolar disorder include dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. This often shows up as episodes of mania—high energy, excitement, or irritability—and episodes of depression marked by sadness or hopelessness. Other signs may include disrupted sleep, racing thoughts, and impulsive or risky decisions. If these sound familiar, Overcomers Counseling can help you sort through the noise and find clarity.
There isn’t one single cause of bipolar disorder—it’s usually a blend of genetics, brain chemistry, and life experiences like stress or trauma. Think of it as a complex puzzle with several interconnected pieces. When you’re ready to make sense of those pieces, Overcomers Counseling is here to help you put the picture together.
