Bipolar Disorder

Expert Psychiatric Care by Dr. Somil Savla, MD Psychiatry (Gold Medalist)
Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania (elevated energy and euphoria) and depression (low mood and hopelessness). These highs and lows go beyond normal mood changes and can affect sleep, behavior, relationships, and daily functioning.
At his Mumbai clinic, Dr. Somil Savla, a highly experienced psychiatrist for bipolar disorder, offers accurate diagnosis and long-term management of bipolar spectrum disorders. His treatment approach is holistic and focuses on both emotional stability and long-term recovery.
Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric condition that typically develops in late teens or early adulthood. It can vary in presentation and intensity:
- Bipolar I Disorder: Severe manic episodes with or without depressive episodes
- Bipolar II Disorder: Hypomanic episodes followed by major depression
- Cyclothymia: Milder but chronic fluctuations in mood
- Mixed Episodes: Simultaneous symptoms of mania and depression
Common signs include:
- Sudden bursts of energy or overconfidence
- Decreased need for sleep
- Racing thoughts or impulsive decisions
- Prolonged sadness, guilt, or low energy
- Difficulty maintaining relationships or holding a job
Without treatment, bipolar disorder can lead to frequent relapses, hospitalization, and impairment in quality of life.
When to Seek Professional Help
Consult a psychiatrist if you or a loved one is experiencing:
- Episodes of extreme mood elevation followed by crashes
- Rapid speech, impulsivity, or risky behavior
- Loss of interest, fatigue, or suicidal thoughts
- Irritability or agitation during mood swings
- Trouble maintaining routine, work, or relationships
Timely psychiatric intervention helps manage symptoms early and reduces the risk of relapse or functional decline.
