Get the Facts about Bipolar Disorder

 
To mark next week’s Bipolar Awareness Day (27 June), the National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) has published a new fact sheet about Bipolar Disorder.
 
The fact sheet, which is available in English and Welsh, provides key information about Bipolar Disorder for patients, relatives and carers.
 
Director of the NCMH, Professor Nick Craddock says: “Bipolar Disorder can cause a great deal of distress to patients and those who care for them. This can be made worse by a lack of information – a problem which this leaflet and Bipolar Awareness Day both aim to tackle.
 
“There are practical steps people can take to stay as well as possible. In our leaflet, we aim to provide basic information, some constructive advice, and sources of further information and help. It is the first in a series we are planning which will offer help for mental disorders.”
