Involving family
With your permission, a family member's observations can help, because hypomania is easy to miss from the inside. Families can also learn the early signs of an episode.

Steady bipolar care for Durham patients
Bipolar disorder needs continuity. Durham patients can keep regular follow-ups by video between in-person visits, which makes it easier to stay on schedule with labs and appointments. If more support is ever needed, we can help connect you with community services such as Community Partners.
Living in Durham
Durham is shaped by the University of New Hampshire, with faculty, staff and students alongside long-time residents. Students should remember that video visits must take place while they are physically in New Hampshire, which matters during breaks at home in another state.
Staying well
Protecting sleep, limiting alcohol, avoiding recreational drugs and keeping follow-up appointments all lower the risk of relapse.
Getting care from Durham
From Durham, our Salem office is about 50 minutes by car. Many Durham patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
