World Bipolar Day is observed every year on March 30th, the birthday of Vincent Van Gogh, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after his death.
The goal of World Bipolar Day is to raise global awareness of bipolar disorders and to help eradicate the societal stigma associated with them.
The day is marked by activities and initiatives like educational workshops, mental health forums, and the sharing of personal narratives through various media channels. Global organizations collaborate with local communities to reach a wider audience, circulating accurate information and providing resources for those affected by bipolar disorder.
The day's objective is multifaceted: to enlighten the general public, to empower individuals who live with the condition, and to provide a supportive scaffold for friends and families.
It's not just about awareness; it's about fostering a more informed, empathetic society that can better accommodate the needs and recognize the strengths of individuals with bipolar disorder.
