Bipolar Uk Description
We're the national charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by the much misunderstood and devastating life-long illness of bipolar
We provide a range of services to enable people affected by bipolar and associated illnesses to take control of their lives. Each year we reach out and support over 80, 000 individuals through our services and information /advice publications. We also work in partnership with research organisations and campaign for new developments to tackle key issues.
We believe the key to coping with bipolar is an early diagnosis, acceptance of the illness and adapting your lifestyle. Management of the illness can be achieved through strategies involving medication, health care, therapy and self management.
We work to ensure all individuals with bipolar can manage their illness and lead independent lives. We endorse the principles of equality and diversity in all our activities. With the amazing support of our staff team, volunteers, members, service users, supporters and partnering organisations we all work to support individuals affected by bipolar.
