Everyone has mood swings.
But if your highs feel unstoppable and your lows feel crushing—or if people around you describe you as unpredictable,
More than just “ups and downs”
Bipolar & Mood Disorder Counseling for Men in Massachusetts
It may be more than stress.
For many men, bipolar disorder or other mood disorders go unrecognized for years. Instead, they’re told they’re “too intense,” “angry,” or “lazy.” Deep down, they know something’s off, but they don’t have the words for it.
At Mister Health, we provide virtual counseling for men across Massachusetts who are navigating bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. No judgment. No labels. Just strategies and support to help you find balance.
What mood disorders looks like in men
Cyclothymia or Other Mood Disorders:
This isn’t about weakness—it’s about your brain chemistry.
With the right support, men can learn to manage these conditions and live with stability and confidence.
And the good news?
Rapid shifts between feeling “on” and feeling down.
Unpredictable moods that confuse partners, coworkers, or family.
Bipolar Disorder:
High-energy phases (talking fast, racing thoughts, big ideas, impulsive spending or risky choices).
Crushing lows (fatigue, depression, withdrawal, loss of interest).
Difficulty maintaining routines or relationships.
Depressive Disorders:
Persistent sadness, numbness, or irritability.
Trouble focusing or completing tasks.
Low motivation, feeling “stuck” or “hopeless.”
Mood disorders don’t always fit the stereotypes. In men, they can show up like this:
Stress on your body from the rollercoaster of energy and fatigue.
With Health
Constant guilt, frustration, and shame about not being “consistent.”
For Yourself
In Relationships
At Work
But with help
Missed deadlines, unfinished projects, or impulsive decisions that cost you credibility.
Partners and kids walking on eggshells around your moods.
You can break the cycle and take control of your moods instead of letting them control you.
The hidden cost of leaving mood disorders untreated
Unmanaged bipolar or mood disorders can quietly erode your life:

"I didn’t think therapy was for me. I figured I’d just deal with it. But after a few sessions, I realized how much I’d been carrying. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again."
