Pregnancy planning
Some mood stabilizers need special planning before pregnancy. Tell your psychiatrist early if you are thinking about having a child.

Steady bipolar care for Laconia patients
Bipolar disorder needs continuity. Laconia 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 Lakes Region Mental Health Center.
Living in Laconia
Laconia's year runs on two speeds: a crowded summer around the lakes and a much quieter winter. Seasonal work, changing routines and long dark months can affect sleep and mood. Most Laconia patients see us by secure video, which removes the long drive south.
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.
Getting care from Laconia
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Laconia, so most Laconia patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
Frequently asked questions
Is bipolar disorder the same as mood swings?
No. Episodes last days to weeks and are a clear change from usual behavior.
Can family attend visits?
Yes, with your permission.
Can antidepressants trigger mania?
In some people, yes, which is why diagnosis matters.
Do I have to travel to Salem from Laconia?
Usually not for every visit. Most Laconia patients are seen by secure video, with an in-person visit in Salem only when needed.
