Newly Diagnosed With Bipolar? Write This Page First

Just diagnosed with bipolar disorder and don't know where to start? Start with one page.

Lesson 1 of the Bipolar Stability Program: the three routes to write down before you need them, and how to use the twenty-four lessons that follow.

The first weeks after a diagnosis are not the time to reorganise your life. They're the time to make one thing easier: knowing what to do when it gets hard. This lesson helps you write a single page — where you go for everyday questions, where you go when something can't wait, and where you go in an emergency — plus one personal contact if that helps you. It takes about ten minutes, and there's a two-minute version if ten is too many today. It also explains what this program is, what the workbook is and isn't, and how to take the twenty-four lessons at whatever pace you actually have.

⚠️ This Program does not recommend a medicine, compare doses, select a treatment, or tell you to start, stop, restart, taper, change or combine anything. If you're considering a change, contact the professional who knows your situation before you act — and if it's urgent, use an urgent route.

🎙️ About Clara & this program

Clara is the AI host of Bipolar Clarity. The words are René's — he's lived with bipolar disorder for over 20 years and uses an AI host to protect his privacy. The face is synthetic; the story is real.

He built this program out of the 14 months he spent in a hospital psychoeducation group, the published Barcelona manual, and the sources psychiatry actually works from: NICE, NIMH, CANMAT, the WHO. It's a syllabus: the map and the words to take to the people who treat you.
