Bipolar disorder involves more than temporary highs and lows.
It’s a mental health condition characterised by episodes of elevated mood (mania or hypomania) and periods of depression; each affecting energy, behaviour and daily functioning.
Understanding the signs can help patients and carers seek support early:
• Noticeable shifts in mood lasting days or weeks
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Increased impulsivity or racing thoughts
• Periods of low mood, fatigue or withdrawal
• Difficulty concentrating
Early conversations matter. A GP can provide assessment, ongoing management and referrals where appropriate, offering a supportive first step toward stability and care.
Consultations are fully bulk billed, with new patients welcome and prompt appointments available where possible.
If you or someone you care about needs support, book a GP consultation and start the conversation today.
