Bipolar Services & Resources

Explore organisations, support groups and services for people affected by bipolar, including resources from Bipolar Edinburgh, Bipolar Scotland and Bipolar UK, to help you better understand bipolar, access support, and connect with others.

Bipolar Edinburgh | All-ages peer support group

Our monthly meeting in Edinburgh. Everyone affected by bipolar is welcome including family, friends and carers. The format is that we normally have a guest speaker talking about a topic that's bipolar-related, then we mix and chat for a while over tea and coffee. Meetings are hybrid - you can attend either in person or on Zoom.
