Abstract
Bipolar disorder is characterised by episodes of depression and mania or hypomania. Most patients tend to experience predominantly chronic depressive symptoms or recurrent depressive episodes with the result that bipolar depression can be misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder. This can lead to inappropriate medication choices and increased healthcare costs (1, 2). Psychoeducational interventions for bipolar disorder – particularly group interventions – that are delivered alongside medication, are known to be effective in reducing rates of relapse and can have a positive impact by helping patients to develop a range of long-term, self-management skills
