Client Testimonials

Professional, great people skills, definitely would recommend Candra Smith. This Nurse Practitioner is quite knowledgeable and knows how to treat an individual.
Bright Stone Psychiatry is one of the most empathetic providers in this city, and I truly mean the entire team. It trickles down from the top. Miss Candra has set the bar for patient care. Her team is kind, personable, and they communicate well. I've been with them for over a year and hopefully many more!
I’ve been seeing psychiatrists to treat ADHD and PTSD for almost a decade and have certainly seen some of the worst in the past, so it’s like a breath of fresh air to feel like I’m finally seeing the best in my first two appointments with Dr. Candra. I could immediately tell that she saw me as a whole person and not just as a patient she’s making money off of, and that makes all the difference. She’s obviously very intelligent and quick as a whip at getting a read on people: I left my first appointment feeling seen, and I have never felt that way in nearly ten years. Thank you, Bright Stone!
Sensitive with people who struggle with anxiety. Miranda Sanchez works with me to address my anxiety. She is very open, easy to talk to and sensitive to my psych struggles. She is always sure to get me into the room quickly and minimize the stress of waiting in the lobby.
Wonderful people and staff Dr. Smith is a wonderful person and doctor!

Bipolar disorder is categorized into several types based on the nature and duration of mood episodes:
1. Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by at least one manic episode, which may be preceded or followed by hypomanic or major depressive episodes. Manic episodes are severe and can lead to significant impairment.
2. Bipolar II Disorder: Involves at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode, but no full-blown manic episodes.
3. Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia): Characterized by periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms lasting for at least two years (one year in children and adolescents), but the symptoms do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a hypomanic episode or a major depressive episode.
4. Other Specified and Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorders: These are less common types that include bipolar disorder symptoms that do not fit the above categories.
