Facebook Live: Bipolar Disorder in Adults

Although symptoms may come and go, bipolar disorder usually requires lifelong treatment and does not go away on its own. However, proper treatment can lead to better functioning and improved quality of life.

During the event, NIMH experts Francis J. McMahon, M.D., chief of the Human Genetics Branch, and Kathleen R. Merikangas, Ph.D., chief of the Genetic Epidemiology Research Branch, will lead a discussion on the signs and symptoms, risk factors, treatments, and the latest NIMH-supported research in this area.
