Bipolar UK is the national charity supporting people affected by bipolar. We support 80,000 people through our information and advice publications and services, including 130 local volunteer-led support groups and an online eCommunity. As women with bipolar are at considerably higher risk of experiencing a mood disorder in the perinatal period - especially in the first few weeks after birth - it is important to seek advice before becoming pregnant. Leaflets, a podcast and more information can be found on our website and we also run workshops on bipolar and pregnancy.
