Bipolar disorders are mental health conditions characterized by periodic, intense emotional states affecting a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. When treated, people with bipolar disorder can lead full and productive lives. Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Between 70% and 90% percent of people with depression eventually respond well to treatment. At Reliable Psychiatry, we conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation that includes a comprehensive interview to discuss your symptoms in addition to your personal, medical and family histories in order to formulate a diagnosis and recommend an individualized treatment plan.
