BIPOLAR DISORDER
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that can cause extreme changes in a person’s mood, energy and thinking.
With a worldwide prevalence of one per cent, high burden of disease and excess and early mortality, there is an urgent need for prevention, early identification and treatment access for bipolar disorder.
While precedents for early intervention in other mental disorders exist, there is currently no commonly understood, systematic approach to early intervention for bipolar disorder.
