This month, we will be joined by Clinical Research Fellow Dr Morven Baker, who will talk about the ENERGISE-BD research project. The aim of the trial, Nutritional Ketosis Versus NHS EatWell Guidelines for Bipolar Depression, is to see if a nutritional approach can effectively treat and manage bipolar depression.

This is a hybrid meeting, allowing attendees to join us at the Edinburgh Training & Conference Venue, 16 St. Mary's Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SU or online via Zoom. The meeting is for everyone affected by bipolar, including family, friends, and carers.

The meeting provides a safe, confidential space to access peer support and learn new ways of managing bipolar, including sharing our personal experiences. We usually have either a speaker or a group discussion at the beginning of the meeting on a topic related to bipolar, followed by a chat over a hot drink and biscuits. The meeting finishes at 8.45 pm.

Please watch our Comfort Agreement, which is in place to ensure everyone has a safe, comfortable space to share personal experiences.

NB: Please do not attend the venue if you have symptoms of COVID-19.
