September 18, 2024Medical doctors most frequently treat bipolar disorder. At Apogee Behavioral Medicine, we run a full medical workup as part of our diagnosis to rule out other medical conditions, like thyroid conditions, in addition to a psychological evaluation. There are many drugs that can treat symptoms in both manic and depressive episodes and the proper administration and dosage must be determined by a psychiatrist. In many cases, our patients have a psychiatrist and also a psychologist who treats bipolar disorder with cognitive therapy and medical interventions.
