MDF The BiPolar Organisation

Bipolar UK, formerly MDF The Bipolar Organisation was established in 1983 (as the Manic Depression Fellowship)[1] to enable people affected by bipolar disorder to take control of their lives.[2] It is unique in being the only national charity specialising in support for bipolar disorder[3] and is one of the largest user-led organisations in the mental health sector in the UK.[4]

The charity is based in London, with a staff of 12 people and volunteers across the country.[5]
