Quality of Life and Recovery in People with Bipolar Disorder

Erin discussed the development and application of the Quality of Life Scale in Bipolar Disorder (QoL.BD), a disorder-specific scale that assesses physical health, mood, sleep, cognition, leisure, social, spirituality, finances, household, self-esteem, independence, identity, work and study. She explores how it can be used as a clinical tool for collaborative goal-setting between people living with bipolar disorder and their healthcare providers.
