WORLD BIPOLAR DAY 2023
World Bipolar Day (WBD) is celebrated each year on March 30th. We take this opportunity annually to reflect on connection, outreach and advocacy. WBD provides a moment to join together in solidarity around the goals of increasing awareness, acceptance and funding for this illness – all of which are key objectives of our forthcoming annual meeting, alongside promoting excellence in clinical care and research.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on our communities worldwide and on WBD, we would like to support people living with bipolar disorder, along with their families and loved ones. During periods of stress and social isolation, it is even more important to maintain your quality of life and to attend to both your basic needs (nutrition, sleep and health) and those that give you fulfillment (hobbies, social interaction, exercise and relaxation). And keep in mind that social distancing does not have to mean social isolation.
Please be aware of advice available to help cope with any pandemic-related challenges. We have provided these links in the hope they may be useful to you, however, if you have any serious problems or concerns regarding your health then it’s recommended to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment or your lifestyle.
