Living between emotional highs and crushing lows can feel exhausting. Bipolar disorder is a medical condition—and with the right care, balance is possible.
Call Us: +91 9289730444Bipolar disorder is more than mood swings—it is a serious mental health condition marked by episodes of extreme highs (mania or hypomania) and deep lows (depression). For women, the condition is often intensified by hormonal changes, caregiving roles, and social expectations.
Globally, nearly 2.8% of adults live with bipolar disorder. Women are more likely to experience rapid cycling, mixed episodes, and co-occurring anxiety or eating disorders.
In India, stigma causes many women to dismiss symptoms as “emotional phases.” At Athena Okas, we help women understand their condition and regain stability with evidence-based care.
During manic phases, women may feel unstoppable—talking rapidly, sleeping less, and taking impulsive risks. When depression strikes, the same woman may feel hopeless, exhausted, and unable to function.
These cycles affect relationships, careers, motherhood, and identity. Society often dismisses these struggles, increasing shame and isolation.
Bipolar disorder is not a weakness—it is a medical condition, and treatment works.
Mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and cautious antidepressant use with hormonal considerations
CBT, DBT, IPSRT, and trauma-informed therapy to manage triggers and emotions
Nutrition, yoga, mindfulness, sleep hygiene & physical activity
Family therapy, relapse prevention planning, and caregiver education
After losing my husband, I felt my world collapse. I stopped eating, stopped smiling, and lost interest in everything. At Athena Okas, I was gently guided through grief counseling and treatment for depression.
I was hesitant at first, but the holistic approach really worked for me. The yoga and meditation sessions combined with therapy were life-changing. The doctors understood my hormonal history and adjusted my treatment perfectly.
Bipolar disorder does not define a woman. With the right care, stability and fulfillment are achievable.
