Bipolar Disorder: Our Approach
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. People with bipolar disorder often experience episodes of depression, where they feel low, fatigued, or hopeless, followed by periods of mania or hypomania, marked by elevated mood, high energy, impulsive decisions, or racing thoughts.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 2.8% of adults in the U.S. live with bipolar disorder, with many more going undiagnosed. While the ups and downs can feel unpredictable and overwhelming, effective treatment can bring stability, clarity, and renewed hope.
“In Miami Lakes, I treat individuals who have experienced dramatic shifts in energy, focus, and mood but never had the language for what they were feeling. Bipolar disorder often begins with long-overlooked depressive episodes followed by bursts of energy that feel productive until they become disruptive. Through structured clinical assessment and medication coordination, we aim for long-term mood stabilization. Patients often share that they finally feel predictable to themselves again. That self-trust is a major breakthrough.”
– Stephanie M. Cabrera, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC

"I didn’t understand what was happening to me. One week I felt invincible, and the next I couldn’t get out of bed. South Florida Med Group helped me finally put a name to what I was experiencing—bipolar disorder. More importantly, they gave me a plan, consistent support, and hope. My life has structure now, and I finally feel like I have control again."

"Bipolar disorder made me feel like I was constantly swinging between extremes—overworking during highs, isolating during lows. The care I received here helped me break that cycle. With the right medication, regular therapy, and a provider who actually listens, I’ve started to find balance in my day-to-day life."
Marisol T.
