World Bipolar Day is observed on 30th March every year, on the birthday of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh — one of the most influential artists in the history of Western art.
His creativity was paralleled with his mental illness and he was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder dramatically affects the mood and may result in episodes of depression and elation, which can affect one’s health, productivity, and relationships.
In 1999, the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) was founded, and has since been researching bipolar disorders and helping people who are suffering from it.
