Imagine being the unlucky one who has a mental illness which turns out to be a ‘buy one get one free’ situation.

Hey here’s schizophrenia for you, and here comes bipolar as well.

(Schizoaffective bipolar type)

#Schizoaffective #Schizophrenia #Bipolar #SevereMentalIllness

On #SuicidePreventionday we must take action to reduce suicide amongst those living with #bipolar & #severementalillness

Covers bipolar as well. @BipolarUK proud to be partnering on some potentially deeply important applications for this call.

Let's hope advances in neuroscience can help to improve outcomes for #bipolar and #severementalillness
