At A Mission For Michael, our belief in your strength and resilience is a core component of the care we provide. With the right knowledge and support, you can learn to effectively manage and cope with the psychological distress you experience.

We offer treatment for a variety of mental health conditions including mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma-related disorders, and dual diagnoses. Our expert clinical team uses both evidence-based and holistic treatment approaches to provide you with comprehensive care. Mania is a component of bipolar disorder that is known for leading to an elevated mood, impulsivity, and risky behaviors. We will talk about common symptoms of mania, and what to look for in treatment for manic episodes.
Bipolar disorder mania symptoms can create periods of elevated mood, energy, and activity, with little to no required sleep. It can also contribute to impulsivity, irritability, and decision-making that may be out of character for you. Manic episodes are one component of bipolar I disorder, often followed by depressive episodes.
Symptoms of mania can have a significant impact on your level of functioning, and often required the support of professionals. Bipolar mania therapy generally includes the use of psychotropic medications, psychotherapy, and holistic approaches. The causes of bipolar mania disorder are a combination of genetics, brain structure, and stress. As a long-term condition, bipolar mania treatment options are available at varying intensities for continued support.
Manic episodes and hypomanic episodes both fall within the category of bipolar-related disorders, but they are associated with different mental health conditions. Manic episodes are present in bipolar I disorder, and hypomanic episodes occur in bipolar II and cyclothymic disorder. A key difference between mania vs hypomania is the intensity of the symptoms, and the level of distress they cause.
Hypomania can lead to an increased energy; however, this change can lead to increased productivity without causing disruption to your life. There is often a notable decrease for sleep, though not as significant as we see with manic episodes. Treatment for mania and hypomania may be similar, depending on the severity of symptoms. Hypomania may not require the intensity of a full-time treatment program, whereas manic episodes often do. Some are able to engage in outpatient treatment for their symptoms, including counseling services and psychiatric care. This differs from treating severe mania in bipolar disorder, which often requires hospitalization and the use of mood stabilizers for mania symptoms.
Bipolar mania symptoms can vary from person to person. This can include what symptoms you experience and their severity. These variations contribute to the differences we seen in mania treatment options. Common symptoms present among those experiencing manic episodes include:
Bipolar disorder manic phase treatment programs focus on providing you with structured care, targeting your specific symptoms. This can combine the use of talk therapy, educational sessions, life-style changes, and the use of mood stabilizers for mania symptom management. Your treatment will focus on stabilizing your mood and reducing the presence of manic symptoms and behaviors.
Mania treatment options can help you find your natural balance, and work towards preventing future episodes. Educational sessions can help you learn to pick up on early signs of mania, so that you can reach out for help before they develop into full-blown mania symptoms. Medication management services can aide in reducing future episodes by stabilizing your moods. Inpatient and outpatient bipolar mania treatment can incorporate family involvement so your loved ones have a better understanding of manic episodes and bipolar disorder. Continued support is generally recommended for those living with bipolar disorder and can include mental health counseling and medication management services.
Due to individualized differences, it can be challenging for you to narrow down which treatment option is right for you. To help you in this process, A Mission for Michael offers a confidential and complimentary assessment, with no strings attached. We want to ensure that you have the necessary information before making an important decision about your treatment.
Our admission counselors can provide you with support and guidance throughout the admission process, ensuring that you don’t feel alone in this journey. Call us today to begin.
Mental health professionals use a resource called the Diagnostic and Statistic Manuel of Mental Disorders (DSM) to understand and diagnosis mental health conditions. This resources groups similar condition together, like the bipolar and bipolar-related disorders section. There are several conditions within this category, ranging from mild to severe. Examples of varying types of mania associated with bipolar disorder include:
Those who are living with bipolar disorders can experience what is called a mixed episode, or mixed state. This means that you’re experiencing symptoms of both manic and depressive episodes. This can include high energy levels while feeling irritable and experiencing a sense of hopelessness.
Dysphoric mania is another way of describing a mixed mania episode. Similarly, those experiencing dysphoric mania may have an elevated mood with negative emotions like anger and sadness. Individuals commonly experience the high energy levels associated with mania, with the emotional distress from a depressive episode.
Psychosis during mania includes the presence of delusions and hallucinations. These psychotic symptoms can cause you to be out of touch with reality by seeing or hearing things that are not around you. These symptoms can greatly impair your functioning, and typically require behavioral health treatment.
Full-blown mania symptoms can include racing thoughts, reckless spending, and grandiosity in manic episodes. Manic episodes are a feature of bipolar I disorder, often requiring professional counseling services and psychiatric care. Mood stabilizers are often used to address symptoms of mania, and help you return to an equilibrium.
Hypomania is a milder form of mania that is generally present for those who are living with bipolar II disorder. Hypomania is associated with an increased energy level, creativity, productivity, and even euphoria for some. Hypomania may initially be missed because it does not cause disruptions to your daily life like full-blown manic mood swings.
Rapid cycling bipolar mania is a term used to describe cases where individuals experience four or more mood episodes within 12 months. This can include mania, hypomania, depression, or a combination of the three. The frequency of these mood swings can have a significant impact on your functioning, making it challenging to manage.
A Mission For Michael has several residential treatment locations offering bipolar mania therapy. Our treatment programs can provide you with psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and education to help you understand how to effectively manage your bipolar symptoms on a daily basis. Dial (866)478-4383 to speak with an admission counselor to explore available bipolar mania treatment options.

Treatment programs include both inpatient and outpatient options that are tailored to the varying severities of symptoms. Treatment for manic episodes can include the following treatment programs:
Because of the individualized nature of bipolar disorder, and manic episodes, there isn’t a blanketed approach for treating manic episodes. Rather, we have a variety of therapies and interventions that can be tailored to ensure that you received the personalized care. Depending on your needs, this can include:
IPSRT is a therapeutic approach that can be used to stabilize your interpersonal relationships and routines which are often disrupted during manic episodes. This can include developing healthy sleep patterns, social rhythms, and developing mood regulation skills. You can learn about how social and biological factors contribute to mood swings, and implement a routine which can help reduce future episodes.
Therapy for mania in bipolar disorder can include group therapy. The focus of this form of psychotherapy allows you to connect with others experiencing similar challenges, which can be a healing and validating experience. Group therapy can provide you with a safe place to practice effective social skills, and receive constructive feedback from others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used therapeutic approaches, and is commonly incorporated into treatment for bipolar mood disorder. CBT can help you recognize negative thought patterns, and learn various skills that can help you manage manic and depressive symptoms. Psychotherapy is often used in conjunction with medication for bipolar mania symptoms.
Family-focused therapy is an important treatment option because it can help loved ones understand how bipolar disorder and manic episodes affect your behaviors and affect. With this knowledge, they will learn to recognize symptoms associated with mania, improve communication patterns, and help you work towards preventing future mood episodes. Overall, this creates a healthy environment for everyone in your family.
Medication management and psychoeducation commonly includes mood stabilizers for manic symptoms. Medications are often used on a continual basis, to prevent the occurrence of future episodes. Psychotherapy can help you understand the nature of bipolar disorder and the steps you can take to effectively manage your symptoms. Medication management services are available in inpatient and outpatient bipolar mania therapy programs.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that can help you regulate your emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors in mania. You will learn skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. DBT includes the use of individual therapy sessions and group therapy focusing on skill building.
Mindfulness-based therapy can introduce you to mindfulness practices that can help you stay grounded, and improve your emotion management skills. Art and music therapy are two examples of an expressive therapy you may encounter. These approaches can help you increase self-awareness, and express thoughts, emotions, and feelings, that you may have had trouble putting into words.
Crisis intervention therapy can provide immediate intervention for those who are experiencing a manic episode or other crisis situation. These are short them therapies that can help you stabilize your symptoms so that you can transition into a different level of care. This can include a brief inpatient treatment stays and crisis counseling.
