We are a virtual clinic licensed in Texas, New York, California, Washington, New Mexico, and Iowa, offering Mood and Bipolar Disorders services across these states.
Bipolar disorder presents with high or low moods, described as mood swings. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgement, behavior and the ability to think clearly.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These changes can include periods of depression, where you may feel sad, tired, or withdrawn, and periods of mania or hypomania, where you may feel unusually energetic, impulsive, or restless. These mood changes can affect sleep, judgment, and daily functioning. With the right diagnosis and treatment, many people manage bipolar disorder effectively and lead stable, healthy lives.
If you experience intense mood changes that disrupt your daily functioning, bipolar disorder could be the cause.
Diagnosing bipolar disorder requires a thoughtful and detailed evaluation. During your virtual consultation, our clinicians take the time to understand your emotional patterns, behaviors, and mental health history. We use structured mood questionnaires and clinical screening tools to support an accurate diagnosis. It’s also important to identify any co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or ADHD, which may influence symptoms. In some cases, we may recommend lab work to rule out underlying medical causes. This comprehensive approach allows us to create a clear and personalized care plan that supports long-term emotional stability.
At Polished Mind Psychiatry, we understand that bipolar disorder requires a careful and personalized approach. Your treatment begins with a virtual consultation where we assess your symptoms, history, and current challenges to design a plan that supports long-term stability and well-being.

We are committed to helping you achieve stability, prevent relapse, and live a life grounded in emotional clarity. With the right care, many people with bipolar disorder are able to thrive.
Choosing the right medication is essential in managing bipolar symptoms. GeneSight testing allows us to match your genetic profile with medications that may be more effective and better tolerated. It’s particularly helpful for those who haven’t responded well to previous treatments or have experienced side effects.
