“OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BY BIPOLAR DISORDER.”
During my childhood, my mother was struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. This difficult reality left a deep mark on me. Today, thanks to advancements in mental health, specialized such as that offered at the Douglas Institute is changing lives. For me, it’s simple: if my mother had received an earlier diagnosis, if she had had access to the right care, maybe our story would have been different. By supporting research, we can offer other families a different story than mine.
