I am a functional psychiatrist provides an enhanced way to treat psychiatric conditions and care for the whole-person, not just their symptoms. My current positions are medical director in several inpatient and outpatient programs. Conventional psychiatry relies heavily upon pharmaceuticals to reduce or mask the symptoms of mental illness. It assumes nearly every illness is due to a neurotransmitter imbalance, and that medication will alleviate symptoms. However, there are far more factors that influence mental health than just neurotransmitters. Functional medicine can find the causes of your symptoms through special tests.

FAQ - Bipolar Disorder Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a serious mental health condition marked by significant fluctuations in mood, including episodes of mania—characterized by elevated energy, impulsivity, and heightened mood—and periods of depression, often involving sadness, low energy, and feelings of hopelessness. Psychiatrists play a vital role in helping individuals manage the complex and often unpredictable nature of bipolar disorder, typically through a comprehensive treatment plan that includes both medication and therapy. One of the most commonly prescribed medications for bipolar disorder is lithium, a mood stabilizer that helps prevent the occurrence of severe manic or depressive episodes by regulating brain chemistry. In addition to medication—or as a first-line intervention when appropriate—psychiatrists may also draw upon evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or psychoeducation, to help clients better understand their condition, build effective coping strategies, and reduce the impact of mood swings on their personal well-being and relationships.

What does the initial assessment and treatment planning process look like?
The starting point for treatment often depends on whether the individual has already received a formal diagnosis of bipolar disorder. If a diagnosis has not yet been established, the psychiatrist typically begins with an assessment to evaluate the client's symptoms, history, and risk factors. This initial evaluation helps determine whether medication, talk therapy, or a combination of both would be most beneficial. If the individual has an existing diagnosis, the psychiatrist may move forward with designing a personalized treatment plan in alignment with the client's goals, often working in collaboration with other care providers, such as a primary care physician (PCP), therapist, or other behavioral health professionals. Due to the severity and chronic nature of bipolar disorder, ongoing psychiatric care is often required over the long term, sometimes for several months or even years. However, long-term care may not be necessary in every case, particularly if the individual shows sustained progress and has access to a stable support network.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in bipolar disorder?
Psychology Today's online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who focus on bipolar disorder and related conditions. When searching for a psychiatrist, it is important to look for a provider who has specific training and experience with bipolar disorder, as they will be better equipped to understand the challenges that can arise with the condition, such as managing rapid mood shifts and minimizing the risk of suicide, which is higher in individuals with bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists who specialize in bipolar care are also more likely to be knowledgeable about appropriate medication options and dosage strategies. When evaluating potential providers, clients should also consider whether their practice is accessible—whether that means being located nearby or offering care through telehealth—and whether they accept insurance. Additionally, for some individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, finding a psychiatrist who shares or has familiarity with their cultural, racial, or gender identity can make a signifiant difference in the effectiveness of care.
