Highlights - 30 March - World Bipolar Day - Committee on Public Health
Bipolar disorder is a brain-based mental health condition marked by extreme mood swings between manic (or hypomanic) and depressive episodes, affecting energy, thinking, and daily functioning. It impacts about 1 in 200 people worldwide and can disrupt work, school, and relationships.Though its exact cause is unknown, it likely involves genetic and biological factors and can affect both adults and young people. While many individuals face misdiagnosis and stigma, bipolar disorder is highly treatable with medication and psychosocial support, allowing people to lead full and productive lives.
World Bipolar Day promotes global awareness and works to reduce stigma and discrimination.
