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 Londonderry patients
Bipolar disorder needs continuity. Londonderry 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 the Center for Life Management.
Living in Londonderry
Londonderry combines family neighborhoods and apple orchards with a large employment area around the airport. Shift patterns and early starts are common, so we pay close attention to sleep and timing when planning care. The office in Salem is an easy run down I-93 when a face-to-face visit is better.
Long-term treatment
- Mood stabilizers or other medications chosen with you
- Lab monitoring, such as lithium levels and kidney and thyroid checks, when required
- Regular sleep and daily routines
- A written early-warning plan
- Therapy and support group referrals
