Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Signs of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, previously known as “manic depression,” causes uncontrollable and often unpredictable mood swings in those that suffer from it. With the exception of obvious cases, bipolar disorder is often difficult to diagnose, and is commonly misdiagnosed by many psychiatrists and professionals. This problem is so common, finding an appropriate psychiatrist to evaluate you can be tedious.

Raul J. Rodriguez, MD takes a careful approach when diagnosing any disorder. Not only does he check the emotional symptoms of each patient but he also provides a unique medical approach to all of his psychiatric services. As part of the psychiatric evaluation process, Dr. Rodriguez systematically reviews potential bipolar disorder symptoms with his patients. If  you have any of these symptoms, it may be time to seek psychiatric help.
