Bipolar disorder is a condition characterized by dramatic shifts in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. These shifts are more severe and disruptive than the typical ups and downs most people experience and can profoundly impact a person’s quality of life, sometimes leading them to addiction.
If you or someone you love are seeking support for bipolar disorder, our caring professionals at Cedar Oaks Wellness Center can help. We’re a full-service drug and alcohol treatment center with extensive experience counseling clients with co-occurring mental health conditions.
Dr. Emad Alshami, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, has lived in the Cincinnati area since 2006.

People with bipolar disorder experience extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (called mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Episodes of mood swings may occur infrequently or multiple times per year, and people with bipolar disorder may or may not experience symptoms between episodes.
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, but symptoms can be effectively managed through treatment plans that integrate medication therapies, psychological counseling, and other forms of support.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic mood and behavior changes that range form extremely “up” (manic or hypomanic) to extremely “down” (depressive) periods. Manic and depressive episodes have various symptoms.
Manic or hypomanic episodes include three or more of these symptoms:
Depressive episodes include five or more of these symptoms to a degree that they cause difficulties with day-to-day activities:

There are several types of bipolar disorder. And while all involve changes in mood, energy, and activity levels, they differ in duration and severity of symptoms and episodes.
Bipolar disorder,“other specified” and “unspecified” is another diagnosis in the bipolar spectrum. It is typically used for individuals who don’t meet the criteria for bipolar I, II, or cyclothymia, but who experience periods of significant abnormal mood elevation. People with bipolar disorder may also struggle with anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD.

Bipolar disorder and substance use disorder commonly co-occur. In fact, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) estimates that more than half of people with bipolar disorder (56%) have a history of drug abuse, and that 44% have abused or are dependent on alcohol.
Drugs and alcohol can play various roles for those with bipolar disorder. They may be used to self-medicate during depressive episodes when a person feels low or manic episodes when a person is more prone to risk-taking behaviors. Research suggests that drug and alcohol use may also trigger episodes in vulnerable individuals.
When severe bipolar disorder co-occurs with addiction, the potential for negative outcomes increases. A combination of therapies can help people with bipolar disorder find balance and strategies they can use to create more productive and satisfying lives.
Just like every person is different, so too is everyone’s journey of recovery. At our bipolar treatment center in Ohio, we realize this, and work with you to take the first step wherever you are on your journey.
