Help with Bipolar Research 
(Jan/2012) 

Summary:  both patients and their families and loved ones can help by sharing their experience -- in just a few minutes. No pills, no research trials, just your expertise.

Here's the request from Cardiff, Wales --

We are carrying out some research based at Cardiff University looking at people’s experiences of receiving a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. We are interested in your opinions on the value of diagnosis, how long this process can take, and how it could be improved. We are also very interested in carers’ or family views on someone close receiving a bipolar diagnosis. We hope that research into this may improve the assessment and care of people with bipolar disorder in the future.

If you are interested in sharing your views and experiences by completing an online survey, please access the following internet links.

SERVICE USERS - If you have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder yourself please go to:

CARERS - If you live with or care for someone with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder please go to:
