March 30 is World Bipolar Day, observed on the birthday of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, who was posthumously diagnosed as likely to have had bipolar disorder. Birthed by the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD), the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF), and the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder (ANBD), it seeks to “bring world awareness to bipolar disorders and to eliminate social stigma and discrimination” and promote the latest treatments.
