To raise awareness of the impact of this illness and eliminate the social stigma of it, March 30 is recognized as World Bipolar Day.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that causes clear shifts in a person’s mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration.

The symptoms can interfere with everyday activities, relationships, and work or school responsibilities. Many people may also experience stigma related to their symptoms, which can keep them from seeking the help they need.

Bipolar disorder usually requires lifelong treatment, but an effective treatment plan can help people manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
