BIPOLAR DISORDER
What is Bipolar Disorder?
A Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a condition that is characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from manic highs to depressive lows. These mood swings can be severe enough to disrupt a person’s daily life and can lead to problems with work, school, and personal relationships.
Bipolar symptoms can vary widely between individuals, but generally fall into two main categories: manic episodes and depressive episodes.
It’s important to note that not everyone with bipolar disorder will experience both manic and depressive episodes. Some individuals may have only manic episodes (bipolar I disorder), while others may have hypomanic episodes (milder forms of mania) and depressive episodes (bipolar II disorder).
At Wise Path Recovery Centers™, we believe that in order to treat addiction in a comprehensive manner, we must treat also treat any co-occurring mental health disorders that may be present. We offer a wide range of treatment options depending on the needs of each individual patient.

What is the Connection Between Bipolar Disorder & SUD?
SAMHSA shares that anywhere from 30 percent to more than 50 percent of people with these disorders (bipolar I or bipolar II) will develop a substance use disorder (SUD) sometime during their lives.
Both mental health conditions can be treated at our Recovery Centers, but it’s essential to understand the connection between them.
Since this is classified as a mood disorder that causes severe shifts in mood, a person with bipolar disorder may cope with these symptoms by self-medicating with drugs or alcohol because they believe that it will help them “balance” their moods. This not only increases the risk for addiction but also increases the risk for suicide attempts, as substance use can trigger manic or depressive episodes.
