About Us

The bpso.org web site is maintained by a founding member of the bpso mailing list, married more than 30 years to a woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The mailing list is managed by a volunteer from among the list membership. The web site and the mailing list are separate but closely related ventures. The original content of this web site is based on the personal experience of its owner, and insights acquired from participating in the bpso mailing list for more than a decade. The owner of this web site is not a doctor or psychiatric health care professional. The information presented here is offered in good faith, in the hope that it will be helpful to others who are trying to educate themselves about bipolar disorder and its effect on their relationships, and are seeking to find support and a community of peers to help them make the best choices for the future. Information about the origin, diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder should be sought from licensed professionals. Our focus here is on relationships. Advertising is provided by Google and Amazon.com. The ads displayed are selected by these companies at their sole discretion. BPSO does not necessarily recommend or endorse any of the products and services advertised. BPSO receives no income directly from any individual, organization, charity or commercial enterprise beyond what may come to us through these ad placements. We hope that advertising revenue will offset the cost of the web site, and perhaps provide incentive to keep the site up to date and relevant. We do not yet know if this hope will be realized. We do not intend to allow ad placements to affect the content of the web site. We intend to continue trying to collect and feature materials that are supportive or helpful to those who are in an intimate relationship with someone diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
