Common mental health conditions

Bipolar disorder symptoms include extreme mood swings that range from manic highs to dark depression. These unpredictable swings are disruptive and can impact your ability to cope, think clearly and make decisions. Disruptive sleep patterns, changing energy levels and feelings of despair make daily routines difficult.

The mental health experts at Novant Health can help you control your symptoms so you can lead a productive life. Your individualized treatment plan may include medication and psychotherapy.

If you or a loved one suffers from major depression, it's essential to seek help. Common symptoms include a feeling of hopelessness, irritability, lethargy, anxiety, loss of interest in everyday activities and thoughts of self-harm.

Antidepressant medications and cognitive or interpersonal therapy are often effective treatments for major depression disorders. A Novant Health mental health therapist can help you learn tactics to improve your outlook.
