Depression and bipolar disorder are real medical illnesses that impact mood, thoughts, energy, and emotions, often following an up-and-down cycle. Treatment can also have its challenges, and while relief of symptoms is important, true wellness means returning to a life that feels meaningful to you. Recovery is personal—you define what it looks like and, with support from healthcare providers, therapists, loved ones, and peers, you can create a plan that works for you. Even when setting goals feels difficult, taking small steps toward what matters to you is a vital part of the path to wellness.
