Atlanta Psychiatrist, Dr. Darvin Hege, is the Answer to Your Bipolar Disorder

Dr. Darvin Hege is one of the most reliable psychiatrists in Atlanta. He is experienced in many forms of psychological treatments including depression, PTSD, addiction and especially bipolar disorder.

A hypomanic episode is a period of two or more days of decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, hypoactivity and increased speed or amount of speech. All you need is have one of these episodes to have a mild bipolar disorder. Hypomanic episodes are recognizable when the patient becomes more reckless. This could come out through spending sprees, hypersexuality, more aggressive driving and social interaction, or increased alcohol or drug use or abuse. If the symptoms become more severe or last a week or more, this is classified as a manic episode.

It is important to note that if these episodes or specific symptoms do not bother you, it is still important that you mention them when visiting Dr. Hege. Treating bipolar depression with a typical antidepressant may cause you to have even more severe hypomanic symptoms or cause more frequent swinging between hypomanic episodes and depression states (rapid cycling). Getting antidepressants that are specifically for bipolar depression are more effective to help your depression of course, but also less likely to cause a manic swing or rapid cycling.
