Bipolar Disorders
Supporting people through depressive and manic episodes
Description
Bipolar Disorder is a common, but likely underdiagnosed mental health condition with a high correlation with suicide and other health problems. It presents multiple contradictory symptoms and often occurs with other mental health problems and substance use. As a result, the professional or family member contends with a confusing array of treatment options and possibilities. This class offers ways to better work with the person to identify symptoms earlier and together make prevention and intervention plans.
