The role of stigma in bipolar disorder

In September 2017, I got hospitalised and diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At this time. I was studying psychology at a university in Sydney, living away from home. I had just turned 21 and needless to say this diagnosis left me barely keeping my head above the water at times. Before getting diagnosed I had never really been taught anything in my education about bipolar disorder. If I knew more about it previous to it happening, maybe I could have prepared for it better and it could have been slightly less destructive to my life. If you know someone who has been diagnosed or have/ may think you have any kind of bipolar, you will find this blog useful.
