In our first video about our Delphi Consensus Consultation study, we talked about what a Delphi study is and why we think it’s important in bipolar disorder research. Now we share the results of that study in this short video; Sara Lapsley gives us the scoop on what healthcare practitioners and people with bipolar think about stopping progression into mania/hypomania and maintaining balance. Turns out, they agree on a lot of these self-care strategies. What were these strategies? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
Sara, you are such an engaging speaker and writer. We’re lucky to have you on our team.

Sara – Thank you so much for making this video. It’s definitely being of help to me in learning how to more effectively self-manage my bipolar disorder.
Sara, Thanks for the summary- offering strategies for self-management is always wise. In my experience, routine self-monitoring/tracking is the foundation which supports many other strategies . As I read your findings, a couple questions come to mind as related to using tech to support self-management. Do you have any data on whether adoption/engagement is better if self-management strategies are offered as a comprehensive package or one option at a time? Do you have any suggestions about when and how to introduce self-management?
