Welcome to bpHope.com, your community for hope, inspiration, and insights from people living and thriving with bipolar.
For those facing a recent diagnosis, managing daily symptoms, or supporting a loved one with bipolar disorder, bpHope provides evidence-based information and unwavering support. We’re with you at every step on your road to living well with this common brain disorder.
Since our launch in 2004 as the online companion to the former bp Magazine — the only print publication focused solely on the bipolar community — our mission has always been to empower you to live a healthy, fulfilling life.
Backed by our award-winning editorial team, bpHope stands as an authoritative and reliable source for everything related to bipolar. Whether you’re seeking comprehensive information on bipolar disorder symptoms, personal insight about life with bipolar, or staying updated with the latest research, we offer you the knowledge to take charge of your health journey.
We continually delve into the complexities of this mood disorder, not just offering insights into traditional treatments — such as medication and therapy — but also highlighting lifestyle changes to reduce or prevent bipolar symptoms.
bpHope is a member of Everyday Health Group, one of the largest digital publishers of medically reviewed health information.
Here’s Why bpHope Stands Out:
Reliability: Rooted in the latest evidence-based medical research, our articles, guides, and tips give you trustworthy information on bipolar disorder symptoms and treatments.
Expertise: With guidance from our bpHope Expert Network, which includes both medical professionals and our Lived Experience Advisory Panel, with individuals with first-hand bipolar experiences, our content remains both current and deeply authentic.
Community: We’re more than just a resource. We’re a community. By spotlighting stories from those on similar journeys, we underscore the power of shared experiences and the assurance that you’re never alone in this.
Lived Experience: It’s About Real Stories, Including Yours
We understand that real-life stories bring valuable depth and perspective. Beyond the facts and figures, it’s the lived experiences — those personal journeys like yours — that make all the difference.
People who’ve walked the path of bipolar disorder don’t just share their stories; they actively shape our content. They’re an integral part of our team, ensuring everything we present resonates with your real-world experiences. Every piece of advice, every shared story, and every research update is enriched by their insights.
