Frequently asked questions
Is bipolar disorder the same as mood swings?
No. Bipolar disorder involves distinct episodes of mania or hypomania and depression that last days to weeks, not just changes in mood during a day.
Why do some medications need lab work?
Certain mood stabilizers require periodic blood tests to keep levels in a safe and effective range. We will let you know if yours does.
