Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition marked by significant shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. These changes can affect daily functioning, relationships, and overall wellbeing. At Raha Behavioral Health, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help individuals manage symptoms, build stability, and live fulfilling, balanced lives.

Bipolar Disorder involves alternating episodes of mania (high energy, impulsivity, elevated mood) and depression (low mood, lack of energy, hopelessness). These mood shifts can vary in intensity and duration, impacting thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines.
