Understanding Bipolar Disorder and How the Atlanta Center for Mental Health Can Help

Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition marked by extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. Individuals with bipolar disorder typically experience episodes of mania—characterized by elevated mood, impulsive behavior, and high energy—and episodes of depression, where they may feel hopeless, fatigued, and disconnected. These mood changes can significantly disrupt daily life, relationships, and the ability to function in a work or school setting.

At the Atlanta Center for Mental Health, we understand how overwhelming and isolating bipolar disorder can be. That’s why our dedicated team offers evidence-based treatment programs to help individuals regain balance, build coping skills, and improve their quality of life. We serve individuals across Atlanta and surrounding areas including Decatur, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, and Peachtree City.
