Bipolar Disorder is a serious life-long mental health condition which features pronounced mood swings affecting close to 3% of Australians and the people around them. Treatment includes medication, counselling, education and support groups. With proper treatment, people may be able to work, have families and participate in all aspects of community life.

NEEDS OF AUSTRALIANS LIVING WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER
The largest survey that has been conducted in Australia so far that assesses
the needs of people living with bipolar disorder in Australia specifically.
Susana Bluwol, Co-Founder of Bipolar Australia, has achieved her long-standing goal of conducting a comprehensive and authoritative survey to identify the unique needs of Australians affected by bipolar disorders. This milestone is the result of Susana's collaboration with renowned expert Dr Tania Perich, a researcher specializing in bipolar disorder and depression, and Senior Lecturer at Western Sydney University's School of Psychology, and Kelly Kakakios, a clinical psychologist. Together, they aim to provide a factual and publicly available report on the specific needs of people living with bipolar disorders in Australia.
