The vision of World Bipolar Day (WBD) is to bring world awareness to bipolar conditions and to eliminate social stigma. Through international collaboration, the goal of WBD is to bring the world population information about bipolar conditions that will educate and improve sensitivity towards the condition.
WBD is celebrated each year on March 30th, the birthday of Vincent Van Gogh, who was posthumously diagnosed as probably having a bipolar condition.
WBD is an initiative of the International Bipolar Foundation
(IBPF) in collaboration with the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder (ANBD) and
the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD).
For those living with bipolar disorder, World Bipolar Day offers an
opportunity to connect with others as well as assistance gaining access to
valuable resources and relationships that can improve their lives through
treatment.
