Bipolar Disorder Chat Room

HealthfulChat is delighted to offer you this bipolar disorder peer support and encouragement area of this web site. Here, you can communicate with others living with bipolar disorder through a Bipolar Disorder Chat Room, bipolar disorder forums, and a bipolar disorder social network.

You are likely one of the many people around the world who suffer with the extreme highs and lows, and the unfortunate stigma of bipolar disorder I, or bipolar disorder II. Bipolar disorders can cause great harm to many, can shorten the life span of individuals who suffer from it, and do not discriminate against gender, age, race, or social class. The philosophy of HealthfulChat is that along with professional help, a support network greatly increases the chances of individuals suffering from illness to either begin or continue on their way to or through recovery. We ask you to, along with your medically approved treatment, meet, greet, share and support with others who are dealing with this illness. The hope of HealthfulChat is to limit the harm that bipolar disorder can inflict by offering this peer support network; by connecting people around the world to one another in order to share your fears, medication management and possible side-effects, therapies, joys and sorrows.
