Thrive Girls Ranch & Home understands that you want to find help for your struggling teen girl who may be suffering with BiPolar Disorder. We’re here to help at our affordable, specialized boarding school program, set in a safe, positive and structured environment near Austin, Texas.
When your teen girl suffers from Bipolar Disorder, you’re dealing with a condition characterized by periods of unusually elevated mood and energy alternating with times of abnormally depleted mood and energy level. Her mood swings back and forth between feelings of elation and despair, tending towards the extremes compared to the customary “ups and downs” which most of us experience in life.
While she may experience normal phases sandwiched between, the elevated phase (clinically referred to as “manic”), might find her easily sidetracked, with unreasonably high self-regard, bad judgment and temper control, too much talking and too little need for sleep, and engaging in uncontrolled behavior (i.e.: sexual activity, overindulgent drinking/eating/drug use).
Her “depressive” (clinically low) episodes might be evidenced with anxiety, regret, seclusion, anger, sorrow, lack of energy, excessive/disturbed sleep, loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities or friends, suicidal thoughts or actions.
Family history and brain chemistry are considered factors, but causes for BPD are not clearly accepted. Other acknowledged factors include: a blood relative with BPD, drug abuse, and an undue amount of a high stress or traumatic situation.
Help Your Teen Girl Now
It is vital for your daughter to receive a correct diagnosis, especially because of the self-threatening nature of many of the behaviors seen with Bipolar Disorder; in some cases, commitment (either voluntary or involuntary) will be called for, in order to allow treatment to progress. The (attempted) suicide rate for girls with BPD is ten times the general population, and so early treatment is critical (i.e.: not confusing her symptoms with chronic depression).
How Your Teen Girl Can Change and Thrive
Thrive Girls Ranch and Home offers life transformation to girls who struggle with life-controlling and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes like BiPolar Disorder. We provide therapeutic counseling to each individual girl, plus daily learning experiences and activities that nurture a true change of heart–and help her thrive in life.
We desire to see every girl discover her God-given potential, and live out our core values of integrity, compassion, community, vision, stewardship, servanthood, and faith in Jesus Christ.
Here, teen girls receive fully accredited middle and high school curriculum through Alpha Omega Academy. We also offer extensive academic recovery options, and help her prepare to transition into a normal, healthy lifestyle in college, ministry or the workforce.
And because we highly value family restoration, parents can visit their girl once a month, and receive good insight on improving family relationships.
