Bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition — but with the right treatment, you can achieve stability and live a full, meaningful life. Whether you're joining from home or visiting our Laurel office, here's what you can expect from care that's designed to support your unique mood patterns.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your mood patterns, energy levels, sleep habits, and personal history. She distinguishes between bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder — so you get an accurate diagnosis, not a guess. She also screens for co-occurring conditions like anxiety or ADHD that often overlap with this condition. If you're joining from Germantown via telehealth, you'll have the same depth of conversation as someone sitting in our Laurel office.
We take time to help you understand your unique mood patterns — what triggers your highs and lows, how they affect your daily life, and what early warning signs to watch for. You'll learn to recognize the difference between hypomania, mania, and depression, and understand how these cycles impact your relationships, work, and overall well-being. This knowledge empowers you to take control of your mental health.
Medication is often a cornerstone of treatment for this condition. Dr. Fosu prescribes and monitors medications with care — including mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medications, selected based on your specific symptoms and medical history. She starts with low doses and adjusts based on your response — always listening to how you feel. Medication support is available to help you find the right balance, with minimal side effects.
Managing this condition is about more than medication. We offer therapy to help you cope with mood episodes, build healthy routines, and strengthen relationships. Psychoeducation helps you — and your loved ones — understand the condition and recognize early warning signs. The goal isn't just to get through a difficult episode — it's to build long-term stability and a life that feels balanced and meaningful. Learn more about our approach to psychiatric care and how we support long-term recovery.

While depression involves persistent low mood, bipolar disorder includes episodes of depression AND episodes of mania or hypomania — elevated mood, high energy, decreased need for sleep, and sometimes impulsive behavior. Bipolar II involves milder manic episodes (hypomania) but often includes more frequent and longer depressive episodes. Dr. Fosu will help you understand your specific type and what it means for your treatment plan. Our main office is in Laurel, about a 30-40 minute drive from Germantown via I-270 and I-95, or you can meet via secure telehealth from the comfort of your home.
