Frequently Asked Questions
Is bipolar disorder the same as having mood swings?
No. Bipolar disorder involves distinct episodes of mania or hypomania and depression that are far more intense and prolonged than everyday mood changes.
Will I need to take medication for life?
Many patients need long-term medication to maintain stability, though we review and adjust it based on how you respond.
Can bipolar disorder be misdiagnosed as depression?
Yes, particularly if a manic or hypomanic episode hasn’t yet been recognised. A thorough psychiatric assessment helps ensure an accurate diagnosis.
How often will I need to be reviewed?
Review frequency depends on your stability and treatment plan, though regular check-ins are standard in long-term management.
