For years I’ve had periods of extreme productivity and excitement, then weeks where everything feels pointless. I finally want to take this seriously and look into treatment. What should I know about treatment for bipolar depression vs mania and where to start?

I’d start by treating the pattern seriously, not the mood of the day. My neighbor went through the same “new idea every hour” stretch, then a crash where even laundry felt impossible, and only then got proper help. This article, treatment for bipolar disorder in teens and young adults , gave me a simple overview, and the key thing I learned is that mania and bipolar depression are usually handled differently, so a psychiatrist should guide it.
