Become a friend of Bipolar Scotland
There is no cure for Bipolar Disorder... but our support transforms lives
Bipolar Scotland is Scotland’s national charity for everyone living with Bipolar Disorder - friends, family, carers and people with a diagnosis.
• We maintain a helpline for people seeking advice and information on how to control this condition.
• We organise support groups throughout Scotland where people can share advice, information and experience.
• We challenge stigma and discrimination wherever it exists. • We offer free courses where people can learn to manage the condition.
All these things improve quality of life, reduce hospital admissions and hold families together.
At the moment, people with Bipolar are twelve times more likely to be unemployed than their fellow citizens and their life expectancy is often 10-15 years shorter. These are figures we’d all like to change and - with your support - we will.
2-3% of Scotland’s population (150,000) live with bipolar disorder so we all know someone with a diagnosis - a relative, a friend, a neighbour, a workmate. Become a friend of Bipolar Scotland and give them a fair chance of living life to the full.
