SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
June 16, 2021
Cerebral, Inc., the leading online provider of psychiatric and behavioral therapy services, today announced that it has expanded its service to treat both bipolar 1 and bipolar 2 disorders. In doing so, Cerebral extends its care program to include serious mental illnesses (SMI) in its tele-health model.
Cerebral’s bipolar services will first be made available in limited regions, with plans to extend the service to additional states in the coming months.
Bipolar disorder, which is characterized by extreme fluctuations in manic or depressive moods, affects an estimated 4.4% of U.S. adults in their lifetime, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Yet, as is the case with other mental health disorders, many people with bipolar disorder lack access to the care they need. With its online model, Cerebral now provides access to affordable, high-quality, long-term care for anyone with bipolar disorder who needs it.
Just as it does with conditions like depression, anxiety and others, Cerebral will offer bipolar treatment on all three of its subscription plans: Medication & Care Counseling, Medication & Therapy, and Therapy-only. Cerebral members can sign up easily and have immediate access to prescribing providers, certified therapists and behavioral health counselors—all via video or phone visits. Members will also have access to lab services if prescribed a medication that requires it.
Bipolar disorder treatment through Cerebral will also be eligible for in-network insurance coverage. However, Cerebral care is designed to be affordable for members either with or without insurance.
