Bipolar Disorder Treatment can be challenging because bipolar disorder, previously known as manic-depressive illness, is a complex psychiatric condition that involves sudden and dramatic mood swings between mania and depression. An episode may last for hours, days, weeks, or months, and symptoms can be severe—sometimes leading to dangerously impulsive or self-destructive behavior, and at other times resulting in depression so deep it can lead to suicide.
How the process works
To begin, reach out through any of the following:
- Call: ‪(844) 966-5349‬
- Website Contact Form: Submit the contact form↗ on our site
Our admin will help schedule your free 15-minute consultation with one of our licensed psychiatric providers.
This brief session is available for patients in Oregon, Washington, and Montana (Arizona coming soon).
During this call, you will speak with a licensed physician who will:
- Review your symptoms, history, and goals
- Answer any initial questions you may have
- Determine whether you need standard psychiatric services, such as medication management, therapy, or might be a good fit for ketamine therapy
If you choose to move forward with traditional psychiatric care, we’ll help you schedule the next step.
If you proceed with traditional psychiatric care, we’ll schedule your Initial Intake Appointment via secure telehealth.
Before the Initial Intake Appointment
Once your initial intake is booked, we will send you a set of required Tebra intake forms that must be completed and submitted at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. This allows your provider enough time to review your background and prepare for a meaningful, thorough evaluation.
These forms include:
- Basic patient information & demographics
- Financial and insurance information
- Medical information (allergies, current medications, medical history, mental health screening questionnaires, etc.)
- Consent and policy forms (telehealth consent, privacy policies, practice policies, etc.)
Completing these forms ahead of time ensures a smooth and efficient visit.
During the Initial Intake Appointment
Your licensed provider will:
- Conduct a detailed mental health evaluation
- Review your medical and psychiatric history
- Discuss possible diagnoses
- Explore medication options, therapy recommendations, and supportive care
- Create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs
After your intake, you’ll continue with regular telehealth follow-ups, where your provider will:
- Check in on how you’re feeling and how things are progressing
- Adjust medications or therapeutic approaches as needed
- Offer guidance and support to help you manage symptoms in a way that fits your life
- Help you stay aligned with your personal wellness goals
Your provider will advise how often follow-ups are needed based on your treatment plan.
