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 Manchester patients
Bipolar disorder needs continuity. Manchester 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 Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester.
Living in Manchester
Manchester patients often tell us that finding a psychiatrist who is taking new patients was the hardest step. Some live within walking distance of Elm Street, others in quieter neighborhoods near Lake Massabesic or the Goffstown line, and many juggle shift work at the city's hospitals, schools and warehouses. Video visits let them keep appointments without fighting city traffic or finding parking downtown.
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
