Ask a Psychologist with Dr. Jaimie Lunsford:
"Bipolar Disorder Demystified" 

March 29, 2024 at Noon

For those who experience bipolar disorder in any of its forms, life can be a shifting kaleidoscope. At different times they might experience empowering creativity and energy, turbulent disorganization and chaos, or crushing despair and anguish. These highs and lows also impact those who know and love them and can be difficult to comprehend from the outside. In this presentation, Dr. Lunsford will share a helpful framework for understanding this complex condition, including: 1) The different forms of bipolar disorder and how they manifest; 2) Four main mood states in bipolar and how they differ from everyday shifts in experience; and 3) How to support wellness and thriving for those with bipolar diagnoses and their communities. There will be real-life examples and time for questions and discussion.
