Bipolar

Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on Bipolar

Bipolar disorder is a fairly common mental illness affecting one in every 100 adults at some point in their lives.

It can occur at any age, but often develops between 18 and 24.

This week we meet people with Bipolar to find out what impact it's had on their lives. We'll also meet the mum from Buckinghamshire whose daughter's Bipolar caused her to have a nervous breakdown.
