Today is World Bipolar Day—a day to raise awareness, foster understanding, and break the stigma surrounding bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder is often misunderstood. It involves intense mood shifts—from manic episodes of high energy and activity to depressive episodes of deep sadness and fatigue. These changes can impact relationships, work, and daily life. Yet, with the right support, treatment, and understanding, individuals living with bipolar disorder can and do thrive.

Let’s take a moment today to acknowledge the strength, resilience, and courage of those navigating this journey. Living with bipolar disorder requires immense strength, and every step forward is worth honouring.

If you or someone you know is living with bipolar disorder, please remember: you are not alone.

Reach out for support, educate yourself, and practice kindness—toward others and yourself. Together, we can create a world that embraces mental health and empowers everyone to live their fullest lives.
