Approximately 3 out of every 100 people will experience bipolar disorder in their lifetime, yet bipolar disorder can be often difficult to understand and find support for.

BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services is coming back with quarterly  Demystifying Concurrent Disorders Webinar Series to help patients, clients and families better understand the complex world of concurrent disorders.

Join us on Thursday, February 13 from 2:00-3:30PM PST for this 90-minute session as we aim to demystify bipolar disorder with our three subject matter experts: Kagan Goh, Victoria Maxwell and Dr. Ivan Torres, hosted by Laurie Edmundson – all coming from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

We will be discussing a range of topics, including types of bipolar disorder, the diagnosis process, treatments available, and practical tips to support those in our lives who are living with bipolar disorder.
