Understanding Bipolar Disorder... Get Help

Most people with bipolar disorder have a goal. That goal is to live a life that is as normal as it can be. To get through today without emotional issues, to do it through the big meeting at work without having people wonder what's wrong with you and to just be able to enjoy your daughter's graduation are all additional goals you may have .

Before you can fully learn to cope with bipolar disorder, you need to fully understand your condition. You need to know what is going on, as best you can, so you can then activate your work adaptation mechanisms for you.

To get to that point, let's start by giving you all the information you need about your condition, so you can better understand what's going on.
