🌀 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌀
At Shenandoah Community Health Clinic, we are committed to raising awareness and breaking stigma around mental health conditions—including bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder marked by alternating periods of depression and mania or hypomania. These shifts can impact energy, judgment, sleep, and the ability to function day-to-day.
Common signs include:
Periods of extreme sadness or hopelessness
Sudden shifts to high energy, impulsivity, or euphoria
Sleep disturbances
Trouble concentrating
Risky behaviors during high-energy phases
📘 The good news? With the right support, people with bipolar disorder can lead full, meaningful lives. Treatment often includes:
Medication management
Therapy focused on mood regulation and self-awareness
Lifestyle habits like sleep, structure, and support networks
At SCHC, our team offers compassionate care that includes evaluation, therapy, and medication support to help individuals stabilize their mood and thrive.
📞 Call us at 540-459-1700 or visit our website for more information.
💻 We accept Medicaid, most private insurances, and offer an income-based sliding fee scale.
Let’s keep the conversation going—because mental health matters. 💙
