Bipolar Disorder is a neurobiological condition characterized by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. In our practice, we view it as a sensitivity in the body’s "internal clock" or circadian system.
The Two Poles (and the Space Between)
Mania/Hypomania: Periods of high energy, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, or heightened creativity.
Depression: Periods of intense fatigue, loss of interest, and physical heaviness.
Mixed States: The exhausting experience of feeling "tired but wired"—high energy meeting a low mood.
