Mental Health Foundation: What is bipolar disorder?

TODAY IS WORLD BIPOLAR DAY

How much do you know about bipolar disorder? Today, on World Bipolar Day we’re raising awareness for this sometimes-misunderstood mental health condition.

Bipolar disorder involves extreme changes in mood. These symptoms can be challenging to manage.

Because the symptoms of bipolar disorder vary for everyone, it can take a long time to get a diagnosis. If you have extreme changes in your mood that last a long time, and are having an effect on your life, relationships, or work then consider seeing your GP. Remember, help is available to manage bipolar disorder:

👉Bipolar UK has a mood scale and diary and more information that may be helpful.

👉Mind has more information on the different types of bipolar, and how to manage them.
