About

Bipolar Poetry publishes work by people who have been diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. Through poetry, we explore how bipolar shapes emotion, thought, identity, and daily life – from depressive lows to manic highs and everything in between. Founded by psychiatrist Dr Joe Dunn, the site continues to offer a space for honest, creative expression.
