Finding support
Bipolar disorder can be devastating for the individual and families. Effective treatment is possible. There are so many variations on the type of bipolar disorder that a person can have. Many clients present with severe anxiety or depression or anger problems and have not received the correct treatment. Recognizing the various ways this illness can present and it's subtle symptoms is an important part of the correct diagnosis. If you are concerned or question whether this diagnosis is a possibility, contact me for further information.
