Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Understand Your Shifts, Find Your Balance

Bipolar disorder can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. One day, you may feel energized, productive, and on top of the world. Another day, drained, hopeless, or stuck in a fog. These intense highs and lows aren't simply mood swings — they're signs of a treatable condition that affects many adults in Dubai. At the American Wellness Center, we understand the unique stressors that come with balancing work, family, and social life in a fast-paced city like Dubai. Our compassionate psychiatric team offers personalized care to help you regain control and stability.

Recognizing the Signs of Bipolar Disorder

You may need support if you're experiencing:
  • Dramatic mood shifts that last days or weeks
  • Periods of intense energy or agitation (mania or hypomania)
  • Impulsive behavior or risky decisions during high-energy phases
  • Low motivation, fatigue, or prolonged sadness between episodes
  • Difficulty maintaining routines, relationships, or work commitments
  • Sleep disturbances, rapid speech, or racing thoughts

Types of Bipolar Disorder We Treat

  • Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by severe manic episodes, often with depressive episodes as well
  • Bipolar II Disorder: Includes hypomanic episodes and longer periods of depression
  • Cyclothymic Disorder: Chronic mood instability with milder highs and lows
  • Rapid Cycling Bipolar: Frequent mood episodes (four or more in a year)
  • Bipolar with Mixed Features: Simultaneous symptoms of depression and mania

Our Approach to Treatment

At the American Wellness Center in Dubai, we offer an integrated and personalized approach that typically includes:
  • Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation: Our team begins with a detailed mental health assessment, medical history review, and discussion of your emotional patterns.
  • Medication Management: Mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, or antidepressants may be prescribed and closely monitored. We guide you through understanding how these medications work, what to expect, and how to manage side effects.
  • Psychotherapy & Counseling: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family-focused therapy, and interpersonal therapy are among the tools we use to help you build coping strategies and strengthen emotional regulation.
  • Routine Monitoring & Relapse Prevention: Regular check-ins help identify early warning signs and prevent episodes from escalating. We teach self-monitoring techniques and provide support through transitions like pregnancy, job stress, or seasonal shifts.
  • Family Education & Involvement: Bipolar disorder affects loved ones too. We offer psychoeducation to families so they can understand what you're going through and be part of your care journey.
