Brains, bugs and bread.

What if what we eat, the bugs that live inside us, and our bipolar brains are all connected?

Join group member and former scientist, Francis, on a personal journey through low-carb diets, the psychiatrist who cured mental illness by pulling teeth, deer ticks, an Australian poo experiment and why we might have been looking for the wrong genes in our quest to discover what causes bipolar disorder. 

The format of this hybrid meeting typically involves a guest speaker or group discussion on topics related to bipolar, then for those attending in person, we chat for a while over a hot drink. Please feel free to stay for a quick chat on Zoom, the meeting finishes by 8.30pm at the very latest.

If you are new to Bipolar Edinburgh and are joining us on Zoom for the first time, please feel free to email us at info@bipolaredinburgh.org.uk to arrange an optional 10-minute welcome and information session where we can answer any questions you might have.

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