Bipolar Disorder

At Sisters of Hope in Psychiatry, Jacquel McCadney can provide treatment for bipolar disorder in Toledo, OH, and help you regain a happy and healthy life. This condition can affect people of many ages and can cause a variety of serious issues. Here’s what you need to know about our services.

We Start By Diagnosing The Situation

Bipolar is a complex disorder and comes in several different types. Bipolar I includes at least one manic episode that is followed by a major depressive episode. You may also have a hypomanic episode, which isn’t as severe as mania. Bipolar II includes a depressive episode with a hypomanic but not a truly manic episode.

Some conditions, such as Cushing’s disease, may cause symptoms similar but different from bipolar. As a result, it’s important to contact us at Sisters of Hope in Psychiatry to get the help that you need. We’ll make it easier for you to understand your problem and find a care method that makes the most sense for your overall healthcare needs. 

The Symptoms We Watch

Our team at Sisters of Hope in Psychiatry, including Dr. McCadney, knows that bipolar disorder symptoms in Toledo, OH, can vary heavily. As a result, we’ll do what we can to diagnose signs of mania or hypomania moods that may affect you, including feeling:

• Jumpy or upbeat
• Having high energy or agitation 
• Feeling exaggeratedly confident 
• Less need for sleep 
• A feeling of intensive talkativeness
• Racing thoughts
• Poor decision-making skills 

Typically, these symptoms will vary with major depressive episodes that include feelings of hopelessness, irritability, naked loss of interest in activity, significant weight loss or gain, sleep troubles, loss of energy, fatigue and no energy, trouble thinking, and suicidal thoughts. Some people may also experience psychosis, melancholy, and severe anxiety. 

Finding Treatment With Us

The first thing we’ll do is figure out what might be causing your bipolar condition, including potential chemical imbalances, genetic predisposition, high levels of stress, poor social performance, and drug or alcohol abuse. We’ll also diagnose any other conditions that may occur alongside your bipolar, such as ADHD, eating disorders, and anxiety.

After going through an intensive physical, psychiatric, and mood assessment, we can provide you with medications, behavior adjustments, and even day treatment or hospitalization, if needed. Medications may include mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and much more. Working with us consistently can make this experience effective.
